Brazilian Atlantic boat diving in a no-take marine park, reachable as a day trip from Sao Paulo
Accommodation listings are not available for this destination yet. Use the local planning notes to choose your base.
Most international arrivals use Sao Paulo Guarulhos (GRU). Domestic connections and some business routes use Sao Paulo Congonhas (CGH).
Laje de Santos is accessed from the Santos and Sao Vicente area. Plan a road transfer of roughly 80 km to 110 km depending on your airport and traffic.
Access to the park is only by sea. Most visitors join a licensed dive operator day boat, departing early and returning mid to late afternoon depending on sea state. The park is about 40 km offshore, so the trip is weather dependent and cancellations happen. Build flexibility and keep one non-diving day for sightseeing if the crossing is not safe.
On the coast, Santos and Guaruja are easy to get around by taxi and app-based rideshare. If you want flexibility for early marina departures, consider staying close to Ponta da Praia (Santos) or near your operators meeting point.
