Getting started

Begin by meeting your group at the designated starting point in Fernando de Noronha, then board the provided transportation that takes you toward the shoreline. Once everyone is ready, you set off to reach the coast in time for low tide. From there, you follow your guide along the route that links the natural pools and rock formations included in this experience.

What to expect

Morro de Fora

The experience starts at Morro de Fora, where a natural pool forms during low tide along the Fernando de Noronha coastline. This is your first chance to see the crystal-clear, calm, emerald-green waters that make the island so sought after.

Features

• This initial stop focuses on the natural pool at Morro de Fora, where visitors often line up in peak seasons to swim and take photos in the clear, sheltered water.
• Transportation is included to bring you to this first section of the route, so you can concentrate on enjoying the low-tide pool without planning logistics.

Buraco do Galego (Praia do Cachorro)

Next, the route continues to the famous Buraco do Galego at Cachorro Beach, also known as Praia do Cachorro. This rocky pocket on the shoreline is another of Fernando de Noronha's emblematic spots for observing the sea in a more protected setting.

Features

• At Buraco do Galego, you can watch how the ocean fills and shapes this rocky cavity, a place that draws travelers keen to experience one of the island's most photographed natural features.
• Your included transportation connects Morro de Fora to Buraco do Galego, keeping the movement between these low-tide stops straightforward and coordinated with the sea conditions.

Lasca da Velha

The experience concludes at Lasca da Velha, a scenic rock formation that serves as the final point on this natural pool route. This section gives you a last perspective on the coastline's geology and how the sea has carved the rocks over time.

Features

• Lasca da Velha offers views of the rock shapes that frame this part of Fernando de Noronha, providing a contrasting setting to the earlier pools while still keeping you close to the water.
• Transportation is included up to this final stop, so you complete the circuit from Morro de Fora through Buraco do Galego to Lasca da Velha as a continuous, low-tide route.
