Recife by Boat

Catamaran Tours. Catamaran cruises along the Rio Capibaribe take you past Recife's grand houses, bridges, and mangrove forests. Catamaran Tours offers two such excursions: the hour-long afternoon trip goes through the old rotating bridge and passes Recife Antigo and São José, the customs quay, the Santa Isabel Bridge, and the Rua da Aurora quays to the area near the Casa da Cultura. The two-hour-long night tour is aboard a slower—but more lively—vessel. It passes the quays of São José Estelita. Praça Marco Zero, Recife Antigo, Recife, 53020-170. 081/3424-2845 or 081/9973-4077. www.catamarantours.com.br.
