Lugar paradisíaco. Passeio de barco maravilhoso nessa lagoa. Só achei muito perigoso o barco dá uma parada para o povo entrar no rio, na beira já é bem fundo e tem correnteza. Eu só molhei os pés porque não sei nadar. Muito perigoso, mas muito lindo.

Excellent day of relaxation and boat trip on the Mundaú Lagoon, a stone's throw from Maceió. We sailed on the lagoon in the middle of its islands, we could see houses on stilts installed on the edge of the lagoon, come across fishermen, walk alongside mangroves, discover fine sandy beaches lined with coconut trees or go around sandbanks at the water's edge. The boat also made a 1.5 hour stop on a beautiful sandy beach to allow those who wished to swim. All the while, live music on the boat, possibility to drink or have lunch on the boat. Excellent service. We have coconut water to drink with a straw in the coconut, delicious, which you can pay for in Real or Euro. I recommend this excursion, relaxation guaranteed.
