Fernando de Noronha Luxury Tours, Brazil

Accompanied by your personal guide, start off your luxury Rio tour by biking along the picturesque beaches of Ipanema, Leblon and Copacabana. The next day, enjoy a hiking excursion on one of the many accessible mountains that surround Rio, such as Pedra Bonita, Pico da Tijuca and Pedra Gavea.  Later, head to the Lagoon of Rio where you will board your private helicopter to tour the “cidade Maravilhosa.” Circle around Christ the Redeemer (Mount Corcovado) and end your trip at the base of Sugarloaf Mountain where you will continue by cable-car to this landmark which offers incredible views of the city and bay.

On your third day, learn about Rio’s colonial past which was originally the seat of the Portuguese Empire and later visit the eclectic artists’ neighborhood of Santa Teresa. Continue your discovery of this great city with a visit to the Pequena Africa neighborhood, where you can visit a number of sites that highlight the African history and legacy in Rio de Janeiro.

Without a doubt, no trip to Rio is complete without music! On one of your evenings, stop at Rio Scenarium to enjoy Rio by night and listen to soothing live bossa nova or lively samba music.

No luxury trip to Fernando de Noronha is complete without exploring the volcanic island’s beautiful beaches. Many have been voted the best beaches in Brazil, and Baia do Sancho is considered one of the most beautiful in the world. These pristine surroundings are ideal for snorkeling, hiking, surfing, walks along the beach, and diving. On your second day in Fernando de Noronha, embark on a short hike from Baia dos Golfinhos to Baia do Sancho, stopping at a lookout for spinner dolphins which are known for jumping out of the water and spinning their own axis. Continue to Baia do Sancho via narrow staircase, and make the most of your time on this incredible beach. After you have relaxed on pristine sands, journey to a viewpoint where you’ll see the famous Two Brothers Rocs, one of the most iconic landmarks in Fernando de Noronha and symbol of the island’s natural beauty, before taking a private transfer to Cacimba do Padre beach where you can savor a delicious picnic lunch. End your beach exploration at Baia dos Porcos which is known for its rock-studded white-sand beaches and turquoise waters.

The following day, enjoy a private boating excursion to explore the inland sea. Experience the thrill of “planasub” snorkeling where you’ll be pulled behind the boat at a low speed as you take in the schools of colorful fish, and possibly sea turtles, swimming below. Savor a lunch of fresh fish grilled on board just for you. Disembark and continue by private transfer to another of Brazil’s most beautiful beaches, Praia do Leao, where you can relax in the sun and swim in tranquil waters. 

Continue your luxury tour of Fernando de Noronha with a stunning hike to Atalaia, Pontinha and Caieriras beaches. Along the way, explore the incredible natural pool at Atalaia which serves as a natural aquarium to vibrant fish and colorful coral. Later that day, explore the archipelago by dune buggy at leisure, visit a surfing beach such as Praia do Meio or relax at your luxury bungalow. 

On your final full day in Fernando de Noronha, embark on a private scuba diving excursion with an expert guide. Explore the archipelago’s crystal-clear waters, where visibility can reach up to 50 meters, revealing vibrant coral reefs, volcanic rock formations, and an incredible array of marine life, from graceful sea turtles to schools of colorful fish and even the occasional reef shark. In the afternoon, you can choose to explore the island by dune buggy at leisure or relax at your accommodation. 

In the evenings, enjoy massages and delicious meals, including a special dinner at a charming local restaurant offering a surprise 4-course menu focused on fresh ingredients.
