Boarding — 9:30 am · Porto dos Tatus
The speedboat sets off through the Delta's channels. Your guide introduces the ecosystem and gives a preview of each stop along the way.
Pequenos Lençóis — The Little Lençóis
White sands and crystal-clear lagoons in the heart of the Delta — a landscape few tourists ever see, and one that will show up in every photo from the trip.
Periquito Channel — Howler Monkeys
A boat ride through the most pristine waterways in the Delta to spot howler monkeys — native to Piauí — in their natural habitat.
Poldros Island — Mouth of the Parnaíba River
Where the waters meet: the Parnaíba River flowing into the Atlantic Ocean. The natural border between Piauí and Maranhão states and one of the most unique views in the entire Delta.
Lunch Stop + Local Crafts (optional · free)
Riverside restaurant on Canárias Island — meal at your own expense. Afterwards, a free walk to the local Handicraft Center.
Baía do Caju Sand Dunes
Golden dunes meet the sea. A swimming stop in crystal-clear waters — the perfect backdrop before the great sunset spectacle.
Scarlet Ibis Flight
The grand spectacle. Thousands of scarlet ibises fill the sky at sunset over Baía do Caju — a phenomenon unique in the world.
Return to Porto dos Tatus — 6:30 pm
Back by speedboat with the best memories of the Delta. A day that feels like a week of experiences.
Why this tour
The Parnaíba River Delta has more than 72 islands, 2,700 km² of ecosystem and landscapes that change with every bend in the river. Few tours come close to showing it in its entirety.
The Complete Delta Tour was designed for exactly that: a single day covering the river mouth, the dunes, the waterways, the local culture of Canárias Island and the Delta's most famous natural phenomenon — the Scarlet Ibis Flight.
This is the tour chosen by those with limited time who don't want to leave anything behind.

Frequently asked questions
The Full Day Tour lasts the whole day — generally departing in the morning and returning at sunset, after the Scarlet Ibis Flight. The exact time varies depending on the time of year (the ibis flight time changes with the sunset). Our team will let you know the departure time when your booking is confirmed.
Lunch is not included in the tour price — each person pays for their own meal. What is included is the stop: we take you to a restaurant on the banks of the Parnaíba River on Canárias Island, serving regional cuisine. It's quite a stop in the middle of the day.
The Scarlet Ibis Flight tour covers the afternoon portion — waterways, Baía do Caju dunes and the ibis flight. The Full Day Tour includes all of that plus the morning itinerary: Morro Branco dunes, lunch stop at Canárias Island (at your own expense) and a visit to the Handicraft Center. It's the entire Delta in one day.
