Detailed itinerary
1
The starting point is at Projeto Tamar. There you will meet with the Tamar biologist for special information. It is also the ideal time to buy a bottle of water and guarantee the diving equipment.
2
You will get to know the Sancho Bay, voted the best beach in the world by TripAdvisor! You will find a very white sand, and a calm sea with pristine waters. It is a snorkeling stretch, ideal for contemplating the marine fauna with snorkeling.
3
Another destination is Porto's beach. There you will know the famous Rachel's Hole, besides the Sharks Museum, a complete collection about the marine fauna of Fernando de Noronha. Then the stop at St. Peter's Chapel will give you one of the most beautiful views of the island and teach you the history of the local fishermen.
4
In the Southeast Bay, you can enjoy the rich marine biodiversity to get close to nature. When diving, the company of huge sea turtles and sharks is very common, which makes the experience unforgettable. At the Mirante da Praia do Leão (Lion's beach belvedere), once again the view is gorgeous.
5
Going to Cacimba do Padre, you will come across Morro Dois Irmãos (Two Brothers Hill), perhaps the most famous rock formation in Brazil. Cacimba waves attract surfers from all over the world, making it one of the most famous beaches on the island.
6
Arriving in the Bay of Pigs, the highlight are the stones that become true pools of colorful fish, overlooking Morro Dois Irmãos. TripAdvisor chose the Bay of Pigs as the 5th best beach in South America.
7
To finish the tour, a sunset you will hardly find anywhere else on the planet. This unforgettable scene takes place in Mirador do Boldró (Boldro's belvedere). Do your best to ensure that your camera is not discharged at this time.
