Ilha de Comandatuba - Bahia

The beautiful Comandatuba Island keeps a wealth of Brazilian fauna and flora throughout its stretch. The tours allow nice moments for being in touch with the well preserved Nature in this paradise. Activities in the island range from a simple and fulfilling rest under a coconut tree shade to an exciting golf match. For those who enjoy water activities, it is possible to adventure on high sea or canal fishing, around the island, or to experience the “adrenalin” of riding on a jet-ski amidst the wonderful landscape.
