Get ready for an unforgettable day exploring some of the most enchanting landscapes on the southern coast of Bahia! We depart at 9:00 a.m. heading to the region’s most famous beach — Santo André, a natural paradise located right where the João de Tiba River meets the sea. The scenery is breathtaking: crystal-clear waters, soft white sand, and a peaceful atmosphere that captivates every visitor. For about 2 hours and 30 minutes, you’ll enjoy sunbathing, swimming in warm waters, strolling along the shore, and tasting coconut cocktails and local snacks prepared by native beach kiosks. It’s impossible not to fall in love with this piece of Bahian paradise.
Next, we’ll stop for a delicious lunch at Pimenta Malagueta Restaurant, located on the riverbank. The place offers a varied buffet, featuring fresh seafood and the best of Bahian cuisine. The buffet is served by weight — optional: please check the price on site. The atmosphere is cozy and lively, and to make it even more special, there’s live music while you enjoy a stunning river view. Our stay here lasts around 2 hours, the perfect time to savor the food and soak in Bahia’s cheerful vibes.
After lunch, it’s time to unleash your adventurous spirit with a local tradition that’s been around for over 20 years: the famous mud bath in the mangrove. It’s a fun, lighthearted experience that’s sure to bring lots of laughter — and locals swear by its magical powers! This clay is said to have revitalizing effects: it’s believed to stimulate hair growth, smooth wrinkles, eliminate stretch marks and cellulite, help with weight loss, and even lift your mood. It’s considered aphrodisiac and rejuvenating — though, of course, it doesn’t work miracles! This unique activity lasts around 45 minutes, and it’s guaranteed to create hilarious memories and amazing photos.
To wrap up the day, we’ll visit the charming Ilha do Sol (Sun Island), a place full of regional flavors and local delights. You’ll find traditional sweets, homemade biscuits, spicy peppers, artisanal cachaças, and liqueurs with fun and exotic names. The island’s colorful and joyful atmosphere makes it perfect for great photos at its famous spots, such as the “erotic coconut tree,” the “arch of love,” and many other beautiful locations. We’ll stay here for about 1 hour and 30 minutes, giving you time to explore and enjoy every detail of this unique island.
This tour perfectly combines nature, culture, local cuisine, and fun all in one day. Each stop has been designed to offer an authentic and unforgettable experience, perfect for those who want to feel the true Bahian spirit and return home with a full heart and a big smile.
