Sea Natural pools.
  • Tip Rating:
  • There are the Natural pools. You don't need to take the boat, save your money and watch the tide, and when it's low you may go on foot until the rocks where the natural pools are. There you may feed the fish with bread. They will come eat to your hand. But take sandals or you may get cut with the corals. Try to go for a diving, a scuba diving. There is a couple of enterprises that may help you out on that.~

    Existem umas piscinas naturais. Podem ir de barco ou entăo, poupam uns trocados e na maré baixa podem atingir a zona das piscinas naturais pelo próprio pé a partir da zona mais a sul da praia em frente da cidade. Levem umas sandálias porque năo é fácil caminhar sobre as rochas/corais.Năo se esqueçam da máscara de mergulho , de uma máquina subaquática e de levar algum păo para dar de comer aos peixes. Eles vęem comer ŕ vossa măo.

    The lovely SEAHORSES from Brazil
  • Tip Rating:
  • Walk along the white sandy beaches, until the "Pontal", where the river approaches the sea. Have wonderful moments diving in natural pools of colourful coral reefs. Enjoy a golden sunset through coconut trees. Sail a "Jangada" along the Maracaípe River, through the mangroves, where you can observe stunning birds and sea horses.

    Snorkeling
    The best thing to do in an ocean that cannot be walked is to swim and snorkel! You pay for a sailboat to take you (and a few others) over the shallow water and into the middle of the great reef that gives Porto de Galinhas its beauty and mystique. You will be given a snorkel and mask (don't remember if it's included in the price of the trip, or if it's rented or bought from a local store) so you can wade in the warm green clear Atlantic and see the colorful fish and coral life.

    The sun is severe, the mandatory stay in the pools will burn a little more our clear skin, and all the resources are useful to extend protection as far as possible. The empty umbrellas spreading close to the water compose a precious path to and from the sea and allow funny perspectives of the beach.

    The top attraction in Porto de Galinhas are the natural pools in the reef. It is, for sure an interesting trip, but not a good idea to have a bath. The "pool" is small, with a crowd in it, lots of fish, and food, and... some dirt. The best is the fun with the fish around you, and the silhouettes of the several "jangadas" circling it. It is a short ride, cheap and quick. But the same program in %l[http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/9eab8/1711f5/
    ]Maragogi is more impressive.

    Jangada Ballet
    Everybody goes to the natural pool (that's the main attraction of Porto das Galinhas). But even if you decide to stay in the beach, the departure of all the "jangada", when the tide comes, compose a quiet and beautiful ballet, in contrast with excitement of the tourists on the way.

    Dive on the natural swimming-polls
    There are natural swimming-pools near the beach and during high tides you can go there by boat and dive rounded by reefs. Or if you are a good swimmer you can go swimming.
