About this tour

The tour starts at 08:30 in the morning, boarding one of the famousmotorboats to start the tour of the Preguiças River. We will cross the calm waters of this majestic river until we reach the three communities where our visit has been scheduled. The sections in which we will navigate along the river are also very interesting, since it is possible to appreciate the fauna and flora of the riverbanks, such as igarapés, mangroves, buritis, pé de Juçara, tucunzeiros and also birds such as maçaric herons.

The first stop will be at the community of Vassouras, where we can walk through the dunes and drink a refreshing coconut water. In addition, in this community there are several little monkeys that interact with visitors and provide moments of lots of laughter and fun. Then, we return to the village known as Mandacarú. There we will visit a 35 meter high lighthouse that will provide us with a spectacular view of the river and its mouth, the sea and the intense vegetation of the region.

Leaving the emblematic lighthouse, we will head towards our last stop in Río Preguiças, the community of Caburé. This small town is divided by the waters of the river and the sea, making it a perfect option for those who want to swim and cool off. 

Our tour ends there on that beautiful view and around 3:00 p.m. we will start the return in our motor boat.

Frequently asked questions

The boat trip on the Preguiças River lasts approximately 8 hours. During this time, participants will enjoy a comprehensive and detailed tour of various points of interest, such as Vassouras, Mandacaru, and Caburé. The activity is organized so that each stage of the tour is unhurried, allowing tourists to immerse themselves in the natural environment and fully savor the unique experience offered by this tour through the spectacular landscape of the Lençóis Maranhenses in Brazil.

The cost of the Preguiças River boat tour includes transportation from Barreirinhas to the departure dock, the boat ride along the river with stops at several notable points, and the company of an expert guide who will provide relevant information about the region, its history, and its ecology. Food and drinks are not included, but participants will have the opportunity to purchase them at the stops. It is also recommended that you bring cash for any additional expenses during the tour.

To fully enjoy the Preguiças River boat tour, it's recommended to wear comfortable clothing and use sun protection, such as a hat or cap, sunglasses, and sunscreen. It's also advisable to bring a small backpack with water and snacks, as temperatures can be high and it's important to stay hydrated. Don't forget your camera to capture the breathtaking views. It's also helpful to wear appropriate water shoes, as there will be times when you'll need to walk or get wet when getting off the boat.

Swimming is not required to participate in the Preguiças River speedboat tour. During the excursion, all necessary measures are taken to ensure the safety of all participants. The boats are equipped with life jackets for all passengers, and wearing them is mandatory while on board. However, for those who wish to take a dip or swim in the river waters during a stop, prior swimming experience is recommended, although it is completely optional.

The best time to take the boat tour on the Preguiças River is between May and September. During these months, which correspond to the region's dry season, the waters are at their optimal level and the clear skies offer better visibility of the natural landscape and dunes of the Lençóis Maranhenses. However, it is an impressive experience at any time of year thanks to its astonishing ecosystem. Plan your visit in advance to enjoy more predictable weather and maximize your experience.
