Traditional Boat Tour

The traditional boat tour is one of the most sought-after experiences in Fernando de Noronha, offering the unique opportunity to spot spinner dolphins in their natural habitat — one of the island's most iconic spectacles.

The adventure begins at Praia do Porto, where the vessel departs. Shortly after receiving safety instructions and meeting the crew, you begin a panoramic sail that covers the entire length of the island. Along the way, it's common for spinner dolphins to accompany the boat, jumping and swimming around in an unforgettable scene.

The route passes by iconic landmarks such as Pedra do Urro do Leão, the imposing Morro Dois Irmãos, and Ponta da Sapata, allowing you to admire the beauty of the island's coastline from a privileged perspective. In addition to spotting islets along the way, you'll have the chance to photograph the landscapes that made Fernando de Noronha world-famous.

The most anticipated moment is the stop for snorkeling at Baía do Sancho, internationally recognized as one of the most beautiful beaches on the planet. Here, you can dive into crystal-clear waters and explore the seabed teeming with marine life. Snorkel equipment can be rented at Praia do Porto before boarding.

The vessel used may be a catamaran or a traditional fishing boat (traineira), depending on daily availability. The tour lasts approximately 3 hours and departs in the morning, ensuring the best conditions for light and calm seas.
