Praia do Gunga: Private Jangada & Secluded Beach Day

Sail a traditional wooden jangada to Gunga Beach, one of Brazil's most breathtaking stretches of coast — where palm-fringed dunes meet turquoise lagoon. A bucket-list private escape into unspoiled Alagoas nature.

What to expect

Board a classic timber jangada at the river mouth and glide across the glassy Roteiro River to Gunga's legendary white-sand bar. Swim in warm, calm waters framed by swaying coconut palms and emerald mangroves. A local guide narrates the ecology and culture of this protected coastal strip. Lunch at a beachside palapa with freshly grilled seafood rounds out an unforgettable day.

Good to know

Full-day excursion; depart Maceió port by 9 AM to allow ample time before all-aboard. Pre-book directly with Luck Receptivo to secure private jangada and guide. Bring reef-safe sunscreen — UV is intense on the open water.
