On the northern tip of the Alagoas coast, Maragogi is blessed with the lush beauty of its beaches and living galleys (a complex of reefs named after ancient shipwrecks). The crystal-clear waters of this beach make it an ideal spot for snorkeling and diving. The beach has full tourist facilities, where you can spend a relaxing day if you wish. If you choose to take an optional tour to the galleys, explore this incredible ecosystem formed by natural pools among the coral-fringed reefs.
After a two-hour trip to Maragogi from Recife, you can take an optional catamaran trip for an additional cost to reach the natural pools, 3.75 miles (20 minutes) from the mainland. There, you'll have the chance to snorkel in the crystal-clear waters and see many types of fish. If you're craving more, you can take an optional 20-minute dive, where you'll have the chance to practice your underwater skills. No certification is required for this optional activity; you'll be accompanied by an instructor the entire time.
Each visit is different, as the tides change throughout the week. So, this will be a unique experience that you'll share with those who attend.
After enjoying 60 to 90 minutes of your time snorkeling at Galés, you'll return to the boat and disembark for an optional lunch. There, you'll have several lunch options, as well as a pool and beach to relax in before returning to Maceió.
