Scarlet Ibis Sunset Flight Experience

This experience begins in Bar da Hora and is guided by local community hosts — people who know the river's currents, the timing of the tides, the sound of the wind, and the stories that shape daily life here. As you travel along the river, you’ll hear about traditional fishing practices, local legends, community life, and the history of the region that can only be shared by those who call this place home.

As the sun begins to set, the scarlet ibis — birds with naturally bright red feathers, colored by the mangrove crustaceans they feed on — return to their nesting islands. The sky softens, the water reflects warm tones, and the birds cross in flocks, creating a breathtaking scene of red in motion against the blue horizon, the green mangroves, and the golden dunes.

It is a moment of stillness, beauty, and wonder.
More than a tour, it is a gentle encounter with nature’s rhythm — and the living culture of the Preguiças River.
