ATV riding in Beberibe from Fortaleza: Private 4x4 dunes

Beberibe's dunes, lagoons and coastal trails in a climate-controlled 4x4

A private 4x4 adventure through Beberibe's dunes, lagoons and beaches departing from Fortaleza, with a guide, round-trip pickup and stops for swimming and photos. The air-conditioned vehicle trades the open-air buggy for comfort without sacrificing the sandy trails, coastal views and water stops that define the region.

The experience

Beberibe's dune landscape unfolds from inside a private air-conditioned 4x4 rather than an open buggy. The route covers sandy trails, lagoons including Lagoa do Uruaú, and coastal viewpoints over roughly 4.5 hours, with your guide choosing stops for photos, swimming and rest. Pickup runs from Fortaleza or Aquiraz, and the vehicle seats small groups or families without the exposure of a traditional buggy tour.

The guide speaks English, Spanish or Portuguese and leads the route, timing stops at lagoons and beaches to suit the group. Bottled water is provided throughout. The sealed cabin means you stay cool while crossing exposed dunes, and the fixed route with a professional driver removes the learning curve of operating the vehicle yourself: the trade-off for not commanding the wheel is a steadier pace through terrain that would otherwise demand attention to every shift and turn.

What’s included

• Guided dune route with stops at lagoons, viewpoints and coastal landscapes.
• round-trip pickup and transfer from Fortaleza or Aquiraz.
• bottled water throughout the ride.
