About this tour

The Canoa Havaiana tour is one of the most authentic and enchanting experiences to discover Fernando de Noronha from a different angle — from the sea, paddling in a traditional vessel while contemplating the island's iconic rock formations and beaches.

Departing from Praia do Porto, you board a Hawaiian canoe led by an experienced captain in traditional navigation. The approximately 4 km route passes by some of Noronha's most famous postcard views: the Air France shipwreck, the rock formation known as Rugido do Leão, and the beautiful beaches of Praia do Cachorro, Praia do Meio, and Praia da Conceição.

The journey combines light adventure — you can help paddle or simply contemplate — with moments of pure appreciation of the stunning landscapes. The tour finishes with a special stop for swimming and snorkeling in Noronha's crystalline waters, where you can observe the local marine life.

The experience is available at three different times (sunrise, morning, and afternoon), each offering different light and atmosphere to appreciate the island. It's an unforgettable way to connect with nature and experience Noronha authentically.

How it works

Luck Receptivo picks you up at the hotel at the agreed time (sunrise, morning, or afternoon — on Sundays there is no 4 PM departure). The group meets at Praia do Porto, where the captain provides safety instructions and boarding on the Hawaiian canoe.

The tour lasts approximately 2 hours and covers about 4 km along the coast, passing by Air France, Rugido do Leão, Praia do Cachorro, Praia do Meio, and Praia da Conceição. During the journey, the captain leads the navigation and shares information about the visited spots.

At the end, there is a stop for swimming and snorkeling. Afterwards, return to Praia do Porto and transportation back to the hotel.
