Here, you can enjoy an ‘off-grid’ adventure exploring idyllic white beaches, year-round warm waters. Dive, snorkel or surf, or hike in an untouched paradise and enjoy some remarkable guided walks that will introduce you to the best spots on the island. Fernando de Noronha is also a perfect addition to create a truly unique Brazil honeymoon.

Today, you’ll take a guided walk to discover the many beaches and bays of the island’s ‘inner sea’ (the coastline that faces mainland Brazil), where the shimmering emerald-colour waters lap the shores.

The first stop will be Cacimba do Padre beach, one of the largest on the islands, which is characterised by its dramatic off-shore rock stacks and nesting turtles. Continue your walk to visit Porcos’ Bay, Bode’s beach and Boldró beach, and when the sea conditions are favourable – stop for an exhilarating swim and snorkel in the unbelievably crystal-clear turquoise ocean. The entire archipelago is designated as a National Park because it brims with abundant marine life – so there’s so much to experience underwater.

Today’s walk will be a total of 4 hours approximately.

Day 3: Boat tour

Today you will you’ll take a boat tour to the tip of the island to Sapata point which can only be accessed by boat. After your boat trip, we’ve arranged a 3-hour walk across Dolphins’ Bay where you can rest for swimming and snorkelling at the beautiful Sancho Bay beach and of course – spot dolphins!

You’ll follow a track to one of the highest points of Fernando de Noronha and the lighthouse at 321m above sea level, which will reveal staggering 360 degrees view of the island. Along the ascent, you’ll stop at several natural lookouts that reveal Morro Dois Irmãos and Ilha do Frade.

Day 5: Fernando de Noronha

Today we’ve left a day for you to explore more of the island independently, or maybe rest after all the activities of the previous days!
