Boat and ATV Tours
Along the Rio Jaguaribe in Fortim

The Rio Jaguaribe can be seen from the water or from the riverbank at speed — two different tours, with a pace and a view that complement each other.

⛵ By boat

The river seen from within

A boat trip along the Rio Jaguaribe shows the river meeting the Atlantic from an angle you simply don't get from the beach, plus calmer stretches upriver lined with vegetation. It's also the most direct way to cross to the opposite bank, combining transport and sightseeing in the same outing.

In Fortim, the same operator running boats — including support for those learning wingfoil — usually shapes the route to fit the group, so it's worth discussing duration and stops before booking.

🏍️ By ATV

The riverbank at speed

An ATV (quad bike) tour follows trails along the riverbank and nearby areas, at a pace quite different from the boat — closer to a buggy ride, but on an individual or two-person vehicle.

Quadrifort is Fortim's go-to operator for this kind of tour, offering both guided routes and ATV transfers between points in town.

🤔 Which to choose

It depends on what you want from the afternoon

Anyone wanting to take in the scenery at an easy pace, or who already practices a wind sport and wants boat support, tends to prefer the boat. Anyone after some adrenaline who doesn't mind dust and direct sun tends to prefer the ATV — the two aren't mutually exclusive, and plenty of visitors end up doing both on different days.
