Tortuga Beach Resort

We would love to take you on a snorkeling trip to the beautiful island of Djeu and show you the most beautiful landscapes Boa vista has to offer! The little island of Djeu (right in front of the bay of Sal rei) breaks the current, which makes the water very calm and makes it one of the best places to snorkel. It is a good place to swim even if you are not that strong of a swimmer. We often see many different types of fish, coral but sometimes also (baby) sharks and sea turtles. What can you expect during the tour? - The tour starts by us coming to pick you up at the hotel around 09:00. - We will take you with us to the beach bar tortuga in Sal rei. Here we'll have a drink and relax a little bit while we wait for the boat. - It takes only around 10 to 15 minutes to arrive at Djeu island (we have lifejackets available and all the snorkeling equipment is provided and included in the tour price) - Once arrived, you can take your time and you'll have around 1,5 hours to snorkel in the bay and explore the island. On the island there is a ford that was build during the portuguese colonial time to protect the bay of Sal rei against pirates. The cannons are still in the ford until this day. - After the rougly 1,5 hours (we arent so strict haha) we will take you back to the beach bar where we will have lunch. - After the lunch we will continue the tour via a 4x4 pick up. you can either sit in the back of the pick up or in the cabin. - We start the south part of the tour with the most beautiful beach on the island. Santa Monica beach. Here you'll have time to walk around a bit and our guides are happy to make pictures of you here (No extra cost haha). - After Santa Monica beach we continue to the lighthouse. Here you have a beautiful view of santa monica all the way up to the shark bay. - The next stop are the caves at praia varandinha. If you enjoy taking pictures this is the place for you! - We continue the tour to the Shark bay. On this side of the island is a lemon shark nursery. The baby sharks are here year round. - After the Shark bay we continue to the Turtle bay. The turtles are also year round in the turtle bay. Mostly you can see Loggerhead and green turtles in the bay. - We finish the tour in the sanddunes of Morro de Areia. This is one of the most unique landscapes of Boa Vista. Here you can also try sandboarding. - We will personally take you back to the hotel. You will rougly be back at the hotel around 16:30. We hope to see you soon and to show you all the beautiful things Boa Vista has to offer!
