Booking
What is attraction scheduling?
The attractions marked with an asterisk* in the previous lists are trails that include natural pools. For you to have the opportunity to visit them, it is necessary to make a prior appointment according to the vacancies each day. The support capacity study predetermined the maximum number of vacancies, and the availability of these vacancies varies according to the low tide window, which lasts, on average, 4 hours a day.
[learn how to consult a tide table].
The procedure for booking vacancies was instituted based on the need to protect these sensitive environments. Formed during low tide periods, natural pools function as nurseries in which marine life thrives. With a wide variety of fish, algae, and corals, they are usually ideal places to contemplate the local biodiversity.
In addition to supervising the number of people who access these natural pools daily, ICMBio limits most natural pools to mandatory floatation (using life jacket, mask, and snorkel) and demands the hiring of guides certified by ICMBio to visit some trails.
How does booking work?
STEP 1 | Have your ticket (ticket number) on hand. It is not possible to make an appointment without a ticket.
Ticket validation can be done in the virtual trail scheduling space (temporarily available only for tickets purchased online) or in person, at the Visitor Center ticket office or at one of the PICs (Information and Control Points). Tickets purchased in person are already validated.
STEP 2 | With your ticket in hand, access the trail booking platform or go to the Visitor Center, in Boldró, from 8am to 7pm.
Temporarily, booking trails for those who purchased tickets in person can only be done at the Visitor Center, from 8am to 7pm.
Do you want to schedule for third parties? Just have their ticket number on hand (for virtual scheduling) or their physical ticket/ticket photo (for in-person scheduling).
STEP 3 | If you want to receive information about the trails in person, go to the Visitor Center, in Boldró, open from 8am to 7pm, every day. There you will find support from our team.
Pay attention to the rules written on the back of the booking voucher. It is important to respect the scheduled time! We advise you to arrive about 20 minutes in advance.
Which attractions require prior bookings?

ATTENTION: When hiring the service of a visitor guide to work in the area of the national park, check if he/she has certification by ICMBio. Access the list of certified guides and do not support pirate work.
