Paddle crystal-clear Tartaruga ('Turtle') Beach on a guided small-group SUP experience, then drop in to snorkel over coral formations where sea turtles genuinely appear. One of the most pristine, crowd-free beaches on the peninsula.
What to expect
A pousada-style briefing covers paddle technique and marine-life etiquette before you launch from a calm, protected cove. The guide leads the group out to a shallow reef garden alive with sergeant-major fish, parrotfish, and occasional green turtles grazing on sea grass. After 90 minutes on the water a beachside acai bowl and fresh coconut water await under a palapa. The experience is accessible to beginners while still thrilling for seasoned ocean enthusiasts.
Good to know
Advance booking strongly recommended — groups fill quickly in high season (Dec–Mar). Transfer from the pier is included. Guests with back or shoulder concerns should confirm suitability with the operator beforehand.
