Detailed Itinerary

The journey, in full

07:30 — 08:00 | Pick-up at central hotels (30 min) Your guide will pick you up at the door of your accommodation in comfortable, clean suits and heated vehicles. Relax as we briefly tell you the story of Noronha and the key points of the day. 08:00 — 08:20 | Boarding and safety briefing in Praia do Porto (20 min) When you arrive at the picturesque Praia do Porto, you'll board the traineira or catamaran. You will receive a life jacket, clear safety instructions, and, if you wish, you will rent the snorkel equipment. The boat will fly a green flag, a sign that conditions are perfect. 08:20 — 09:00 | Seeing rotating dolphins in the high seas (40 min) We will sail gently into the deep waters where the rotating dolphins enter at dawn. Watch them turn and dance a few meters from the bow, joining us in a show of marine acrobatics. Get your camera ready! 09:00 — 09:40 | Snorkeling in Baía do Sancho (40 min) Anchorage on the famous “best beach in the world”. Put on your mask and dive into the turquoise blue: live corals, schools of tropical fish, and small underwater caves await you. Our guide will show you the most colorful corners and give you tips for effortless floating. 09:40 — 10:10 | Dream panoramic route (30 min) Back on board, you'll climb onto the deck for epic views: Lion's Hare Stone: impressive rock wall. Morro Dois Irmãos: two twin peaks that emerge from the sea. Ponta da Sapata: red cliffs and formations that look like sculptures. As we sail, we share local legends and facts about the geology and fauna of each point. 10:10 — 10:30 | Return to Praia do Porto and drop off at your hotel (20 min) We will set sail back with a last panoramic view of the coast. At the pier, you'll say goodbye to the crew and return to your accommodation with unforgettable memories.
