Plan your stay

Accommodation listings are not available for this destination yet. Use the local planning notes to choose your base.

Getting there

Most travelers fly into Recife/Guararapes (REC), then choose one of two patterns:

City base for wreck diving: stay in Boa Viagem or near Recife Antigo and dive the offshore wreck sites with local operators.
Beach-town base for snorkeling: stay in Porto de Galinhas or Muro Alto and use Recife for day trips and flight logistics.

Recife is also a common gateway for flights onward to Fernando de Noronha for an extension trip.

Getting around

Within Recife:

Rideshare and taxis are the simplest for most visitors (especially with dive gear). - The metro can be useful for some corridors, but it is not a direct solution for beach-town day trips.
