Lençóis Maranhenses Day Trip
Tour Options
When booking, you can choose between the following options. Both include pickup and drop-off at your São Luís hotel or the airport, whichever you prefer. Here's what makes each route different:
Barreirinhas Day Trip + Preguiças River Boat Ride
With this option, we'll travel for 4 hours from your São Luís hotel to Barreirinhas. When we arrive, you'll have 30 minutes of free time to rest up and recharge for what's coming next.
We'll meet up again and head out on a boat ride along the Preguiças River. During the trip, we'll explore the beauty of this waterway, one of the main routes into the Lençóis Maranhenses. As we go, we'll pass through Vassouras, a dune area where you'll spot freshwater lagoons.
We'll keep sailing until we reach Mandacaru. This fishing village is one of the most famous in the Lençóis Maranhenses and is packed with traditions we'll tell you all about on board. Later, we'll arrive at Caburé, where we'll anchor at this narrow sandy peninsula where the river meets the Atlantic Ocean. You'll have 1 hour of free time to relax and enjoy any food you've brought along.
Finally, we'll hop back on the boat and sail back to Barreirinhas. Once there, we'll get back on the minibus and head to your hotel or the airport, where we'll wrap up the trip around 9 pm.
Barreirinhas Day Trip + Lençóis Maranhenses Off-Roading Tour
After picking you up at your hotel, we'll take a 4-hour drive to Barreirinhas. When we get to the city center, you'll have 1.5 hours of free time to stroll around and grab a bite at one of the local restaurants.
After that, we'll regroup and kick off an amazing adventure. Ready for an off-roading vehicle tour through the Lençóis Maranhenses National Park? You're going to fall in love with the white sand dune landscapes this place is known for!
Along the route, we'll see rolling sand mounds, crystal-clear lagoons, and the stunning contrast they create with the lush green fields and palm trees that are so typical of the region.
Finally, we'll leave Barreirinhas behind and head to your hotel or the airport, where we're expected to arrive around 11 pm.
