Coroa Alta is a sandbank and reef area visited by authorized vessels from Santa Cruz Cabrália. The landscape changes with the tide and sea conditions, making it essential to confirm tour times and the day’s operation. The itinerary may combine floating, reef observation, a stop on the sandbank and stretches along the João de Tiba River. Choose a licensed operator, check life jackets and safety guidance, and never touch the corals. The boarding point is in downtown Cabrália and can be reached via BR-367 from Porto Seguro.
