The bucket-list things to do — and who runs each one.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, who runs it, and how to book it direct — so you can weigh it against your ship’s excursion and pick what suits you.
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.
At low tide, vibrant natural reef pools emerge just 2 km off Pajuçara Beach — a UNESCO-recognised phenomenon unique to Maceió. A private jangada at golden hour transforms this into pure magic.
Journey north along the Coconut Coast to São Miguel dos Milagres — a tiny, achingly beautiful village of turquoise bays and traditional fishing communities. Rated among Brazil's finest hidden beaches, accessible by private transfer with an expert local guide.
Head south to Francês Beach — Alagoas's most celebrated stretch of coast, where natural reef barriers create sheltered, emerald-green pools perfect for snorkelling. A quintessential Northeastern Brazil beach experience at its most spectacular.
Explore the colourful colonial heart of Maceió — from the pastel-façaded Catedral Metropolitana to the vibrant Mercado do Artesanato — with a knowledgeable bilingual guide who brings Alagoas's layered history vividly to life.
Drive the legendary Coconut Coast north of Maceió to Ipioca — a wild, windswept beach of dramatic cliffs, natural pools, and swaying palms, rated 4.5 stars by thousands of visitors. A private escape into Alagoas at its most cinematic.
