A budget-friendly full-day trip from Fortaleza to Praia de Cumbuco, with optional buggy rides, lagoon time, water activities, and seafood.
“I do not recommend this beach or tour to this beach. The tour company was great. That’s the only star it gets. Everything else was a completely disappointment. The location is super crowded. Cry hard to find a place to sit. The beach was dirty, trashed, rocky, and had mirky water. Everything cost money. Even to listen to the band playing music. The bathrooms smelled like sewage. The 2 pools they had at the location were private. It’s unfortunate because I planned for this trip several months in advance and read all the reviews. I was looking forward to it. The worst day of our 21 days 4 cities stay…”

“The tour was a very positive and meaningful experience for all involved. It was a time of learning, joy and coexistence, in which the children could explore new environments, observe, ask and have fun. The organization helped to make it all happen peacefully and safely, allowing everyone to get the most out of it. The activities carried out aroused interest and curiosity, making the day even more special. In addition, the tour strengthened ties, provided good memories and contributed to social and emotional development. It was, without a doubt, a very good and enriching walk.Auto-translated”

Fortaleza panoramic city tour with Iracema and Cathedral views, then Cumbuco dunes and Lagoa do Parnamirim swim time, about 8 hours.
“I booked the city tour plus Cumbuco beach. They took us straight to the beach for 6 hours and we did not stop at any of the sights listed in the tour like the cathedral and market. The tour also said there was a horseback riding option, but there wasn’t. I was pissed at first, but had a couple beers and found horseback riding further down the beach at another place and also kite surfing. I ended up having a good time even though I was mad at first. The next day I went to the church and market on my own and pedestrian traffic was so much, there was…”
