Dining

The airport itself offers minimal food and beverage options given its small size. Caravelas town centre, a short taxi ride away, has local restaurants serving fresh seafood, moqueca baiana, and traditional Bahian dishes. Visitors are advised to eat well before departure as in-terminal dining is very limited.

Traveller Tips
  • Book Abrolhos boat tours well in advance, especially between July and November during humpback whale season.
  • Confirm your flight schedule directly with the operator as regional schedules can change with little notice.
  • Carry Brazilian reais as card acceptance is limited at small local establishments and some transport options.
  • Arrive early at the airport as the small terminal can become congested during peak ecotourism periods.
