DJI_0422.jpg

Between the months of January and February, the ocean waters approach the coast and let us enjoy the pleasure of having transparent waters inside the Marine Park of Pedra de Ilhéus. This marine park, with three islands and two coral reefs, is a true marine oasis here in Ilhéus with a great diversity of fish and corals.

Environmental protection zone since 2006, it is dedicated to the protection of the Atlantic goliath grouper, an endangered giant fish and a great symbol of nature conservation here in Brazil. He is the biggest cousin of the grouper that is present in the banknotes of one hundred reais.

We offer a tour in small groups of up to 6 passengers, accessible for children from 10 kg.

 

Visiting the Pedra de Ilhéus Marine Park is available throughout the year, but we recommend the months of January and February to make the most of the snorkeling opportunities. We have five possible boarding times: at 6:00 am, 8:30 am, 11:00 am, 1:30 pm or 4:00 pm, for a total tour duration of 2 hours, including one hour and a half of navigation.

 

For maximum pleasure, we always advise you to choose a time close to low tide or late afternoon, which has the advantage of including the sunset at the same time!

e meet at the entrance of the Ilhéus Yacht Club and continue with a 15-minute navigation briefing. We'll also put on the mandatory life jackets and finalize everything we need before boarding (toilet, completing the payment, answering your questions).

We have water available on the boat, but you must:

- take the necessary sun protection

- dress in clothes that can get wet

- leave a complete change of dry clothes in the car or backpack.

 

Other than that, you can bring whatever you want (your snorkeling gear, cameras, phones, seasickness medicine, etc.).

Formed by three rocky islands, less than 4 km away, we arrive at Parque Marinho in just 10 minutes of navigation. Pedra de Ilhéus, Ilheuzinho and Itapitanga are the names of the islands that appear in the Park. It was created to protect the Atlantic goliath grouper, but you can be sure that many other species of fish frequent the reefs that hide around the three islands. There, we will be able to see it up close and learn a little more about the biodiversity of this place.

 

The area is also one of the favorites of the Guiana dolphins, the coastal dolphins of Ilhéus! There are chances to meet them during your visit!

If you are lucky enough to visit after several days without rain, the water will be clear. So, don't forget to take your snorkel and mask with you to discover the small fish and corals that hide underwater.

For now we don't work with diving instructors, so if you go diving, bring your experience and responsibility with you.

Don't know how to dive? No problem! You can also enjoy the water cooling off in an unusual landscape! We will give you all the support to take your sea bath safely.
