Volta à Ilha boat trip around the beaches and Gamboa

Morro de São Paulo
Excursion

Full-day private boat trip through the Cairu archipelago, departing in the morning from the Morro de São Paulo pier, with hotel pick-up handled on foot since the island has no vehicle traffic. The route follows Ilha de Tinharé with stops at the coastal beaches, at the natural pools of Garapuá depending on the tide, at the floating oyster-farming bars of Canavieiras and at Gamboa across from Morro de São Paulo. The service runs on a fibreglass boat; the number and length of stops depend on the day's tide. Admission or consumption at the floating bars is not included.

Booking & policies

Are the prices shown net or retail?

Rates are net (wholesale) and reserved for travel agencies and tour operators, who sign in to see them and add their own margin. Public visitors see an indicative retail “from” price; the net rate is never shown outside the agency portal.

How is a booking confirmed?

Most bookings are confirmed immediately and the voucher is emailed within minutes. When a service shows “In process”, RUMBO LIBRE is confirming final availability with the receptive operator at destination — usually within 24 to 48 business hours.

What is the cancellation policy?

Cancellations follow Clause 7 of the Terms: more than 30 days before the service, no penalty and a full refund; 15 to 30 days, 25%; 8 to 14 days, 50%; 3 to 7 days, 75%; less than 72 hours before commencement or a no-show, 100%. Certain destinations — Patagonia, the Amazon region and high-demand dates in peak season — apply stricter terms, stated in the quotation. The schedule above is indicative: the conditions that apply to each booking are those confirmed in the quotation, and may be stricter in high season, on public holidays or where a supplier applies its own policy.

Can dates or passenger names be changed after confirmation?

Amendment requests must reach RUMBO LIBRE at least 72 business hours before the service begins. Changes are managed with the receptive operator subject to availability, and any resulting rate difference applies. For private services, a name change may require re-issuing the booking at the current rate.
