The fastest and most common way to reach Fernando de Noronha is by plane. Until recently, the island was only serviced by daily flights from Recife (REC) and weekly flights from Natal (NAT). Since 2024, LATAM has also operated direct flights from São Paulo’s Guarulhos Airport (GRU), with five weekly frequencies (Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays). The flight takes about 3h50.
For international travelers, Guarulhos (GRU) is Brazil’s largest airport and a major hub for connecting flights from Europe, the US, and other continents. If you’re coming from Europe, Lisbon (LIS) offers direct flights to Recife and Natal, while travelers from the US can easily connect through São Paulo.
You can also reach the island by boat, but there are no regular ferry services. Some cruises and private yachts do stop at Fernando de Noronha, but these are rare and usually part of longer itineraries.
The best time for diving in Fernando de Noronha is from March to July, when the seas are calm and visibility can reach up to 40 meters. The water temperature remains comfortable year-round at around 27°C, making it a great destination for divers all year long.
However, during the windy season (August–September) and swelling months (November–March), visibility may be slightly reduced, but it’s still a good time to dive due to the diverse marine life.

Fernando de Noronha is renowned for its underwater biodiversity, and there are 22 stunning dive sites to explore. Some of the most popular include:
- Caverna da Sapata: Famous for its underwater caves and rocky formations, home to various marine species.
- Ilha do Meio: A perfect site to swim with turtles, rays, and moray eels.
- Laje Dois Irmãos: Ideal for those seeking to dive around its massive rock formations and vibrant coral reefs.
Other great spots include Baía dos Porcos, Atalaia, and Morro do Pico, each offering unique underwater experiences.
To experience the highlights of Fernando de Noronha, at least 4 days are recommended. This allows you to visit the main beaches, dive spots, and hiking trails, as well as take a boat tour around the island. If you’re a diving enthusiast, a 5-day trip will give you the chance to fully immerse yourself in the underwater wonders.
With 6 days or more, you can explore less-visited places, like Poço Azul, and enjoy a slower pace, adding cultural visits or longer hikes like the Atalaia trail. The island’s small size allows for a more relaxed pace if you have additional days.
When packing for your trip to Fernando de Noronha, it’s important to prioritize comfort, sun protection, and essentials for both diving and hiking. Here’s what you should bring:
- Long-sleeved T-shirts with UV protection
- Light trekking pants or leggings
- Trekking boots or sneakers with good grip
- Water shoes or extra sneakers (for beach activities and swimming)
- Snorkel, diving mask, and fins (for snorkeling and shallow dives)
- Sunscreen and insect repellent
- Hat or cap, sunglasses
- Swimwear and light clothes
- Small backpack (up to 20L) for day trips
- Water bottle or canteen
- Light jacket (from May to September) or Raincoat (October to April)
For those planning to dive or snorkel, bringing your own diving mask, snorkel, and fins will save time and ensure the best fit for underwater exploration. However, if you don’t have these, they are available for rent on the island.
Since the island’s infrastructure is limited, it’s also a good idea to bring some snacks and personal items, as some items might be more expensive or harder to find on the island.
