All Saints Bay

Baia de Todos os Santos is the largest bay in Brazil, a stretch of sheltered sea dotted with islands and coves that opens up in front of Salvador and its surroundings. The calm water is what made it the natural setting for the boat trips that leave the city.

What you do here follows the water: sailing between islands, stopping to dive, watching the fishing go on. The physical effort is light, which makes the bay an easy choice for groups and for travellers of mixed ages.

The bay is also home to people who live from the sea. In the coves and waterside communities, fishing culture shows up in daily life, in what is caught and in what is eaten.

Salvador sits in the Salvador microregion and immediate region, and in the same municipality the Vivai catalogue gathers other points of interest, such as Pelourinho, Igreja de Sao Francisco, Praia do Flamengo and Praia de Stella Maris. A day on the water pairs well with a day on land.
