Dive Into Brazil’s Underwater Paradise
Remote, wild, and ecologically rich, the Abrolhos Archipelago is one of Brazil’s best-kept secrets for marine lovers and adventure seekers. Located off the coast of Bahia, this protected group of islands is part of the Abrolhos Marine National Park, home to some of the most vibrant coral reefs and diverse sea life in the South Atlantic.
Why Visit?
Abrolhos is Brazil’s premier diving destination. With clear, warm waters and incredible underwater visibility, it’s the perfect place to explore coral gardens, volcanic formations, and mysterious shipwrecks teeming with life. Divers and snorkelers can encounter colorful fish, sea turtles, moray eels, manta rays, and even humpback whales (from July to November), who come to the region to breed and nurse their calves.
Above the water, the archipelago’s five main islands—Santa Bárbara, Siriba, Redonda, Guarita, and Sueste—are nesting grounds for seabirds and sea turtles, creating a haven for nature lovers and photographers.
Due to its ecological importance, visitation is carefully regulated, and most tours depart from Caravelas, a small coastal town that serves as the main gateway to this marine sanctuary.
The Vibe
Abrolhos is remote, serene, and wildly beautiful. It’s a place to immerse yourself in nature, far from crowds, where the rhythm of the ocean guides your day. Whether you’re diving through coral canyons, watching whales breach, or simply floating in peaceful waters under the sun, Abrolhos offers a truly magical connection to Brazil’s hidden underwater world.
