Isolated, volcanic islands rise out of the eastern coastal waters, about 550 kilometers from Recife. The Fernando de Noronha islands, formed 2 million years ago, are the remnants of a submerged mountain range. They are a mystical oasis that is growing in popularity as a tourist destination...it's easy to see why. The water is transparent blue-green, revealing exquisite rock formations and stunning marine life. It's no wonder that this archipelago is one of the best places in the world to dive. Sailing along the Inside Sea offers an incredible view of the surrounding beaches; you might see dolphins swimming alongside the boat, accomanying you.

For surfers, the archipelago is a paradise well worth traveling to from all parts of the globe. Two meter waves often rise up to peaks of five meters. Onshore, the main form of transport are hoodless buggies that cruise the island. Steered by local inhabitants who also act as tour guides, a buggy ride can bring you to some of the lesser known, beautiful areas of the island. If you prefer walking, there are many cliffs, caves and hills to explore. For the more adventurous, you can make your way through the beautiful Marine Park, accompanied by one of the island's park rangers.
