5.Explore Fernando de Noronha: 7-Hour Ilhatour

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 3 reviews · 7 hours · from $79Best value

Spend a full day seeing Fernando de Noronha’s headline beaches and viewpoints in a shared 4x4 vehicle for up to 10 people. Your English-speaking guide handles hotel pickup and the route, with stops at Sancho, Leão, Sueste, Cacimba do Padre, Two Brothers Hill, Baía dos Porcos, and Boldró Fort. Bring swimwear, snacks, and your ID.

“it was really good. the guide spoke good English and efficiently took us from destination to destination. The infos up front could have been better though. On the site it says nowhere we should bring swimwear, goggles or snorkels. Swimwear we rook, but we left goggles and snorkels at home ad had to rent them. That was unnecessary. I also states that they will not take care of food, but there was a stop at a restaurant (but it was relatively expensive so it was good we had snacks with us)”
