South America Adventure Travel takes you to the popular, yet ecologically sensitive beach resort of Praia do Forte. Just a short distance north of Salvador de Bahia, this former fishing village is now home to a protected sea turtle reserve and the Sapiranga Forest Nature Reserve, making the area a favorite amongst hikers and wildlife enthusiasts. Our Praia do Forte tours will take you to the 13km long stretch of beach, with waving palm trees, cool white sands and a clear turquoise sea calmed by the bay’s reef. Tidal pools that form amongst the coral reef warm up in the sun, making them the perfect spot for swimming and snorkeling amongst the tropical fish. With SAAT’s fully customizable Praia do Forte tours, you can relax and unwind on the beach all day, choosing to do as little or as many activities as you like.
