My experience on the tour in Recife de Fora
In Recife de Fora, an instructor joined us and explained a little about marine life.
The instructor is a volunteer biologist who participates in this project with the purpose of making the population aware of the preservation of the environment and marine life.
He showed us some marine animals that inhabit the place itself, such as starfish, sea snakes, and so on. and explained a little about them and corals.
I liked it a lot, because the presentation was super interesting.
After this introduction we went into the sea to do the dive that lasted about 2 hours.
The dive was surrounded by corals and the sea was shallow. I saw a lot of marine life, many different species of fish and even a sea urchin. There, you basically swim surrounded by corals.
The place was very beautiful and charming, it was a unique experience, especially for lovers of biology and marine life.
End of the tour
After 2 hours, they called us by the name of the boat, mine was Gaivota Morena, and we went back to the city.
The boat makes its first stop in Porto Seguro and then in Arraial d’Ajuda. If you board in Porto, you can disembark in Arraial d’Ajuda and vice versa.
It is certainly a tour that is very worthwhile, it is a different and unique experience.
