Experience the ultimate underwater adventure with a 5-day Fernando de Noronha scuba diving package! Located in a UNESCO World Heritage marine park, the island offers exceptional diving conditions in the South Atlantic. Explore crystal-clear waters with visibility reaching up to 40 meters and a comfortable, year-round water temperature of 27°C.
The itinerary perfectly balances ocean exploration with land adventures. Over two mornings, enjoy two double-dive sessions (totaling four dives) guided by bilingual instructors for both certified divers and beginners. Between dive days, a comprehensive 10.5-hour 4×4 island tour will take you to explore iconic sights, including the Shark Pool, Baía dos Porcos, and Praia do Leão.
The sheer beauty of Noronha and its rich marine biodiversity are truly unforgettable. Underwater, you can encounter sea turtles, reef sharks, rays, and occasionally dolphins across 22 dive sites. Above water, you will marvel at pristine landscapes like Praia do Sancho, retreating each evening to a comfortable pousada to relax after taking in the breathtaking island sunsets.
Please note: the activities described here are a suggested plan. Dive sites, timings, and the order of the days are confirmed on the island and depend on sea conditions, visibility, your certification level, and the rules ICMBio sets for the Fernando de Noronha Marine National Park.
Day 1
After landing at Fernando de Noronha, a driver takes you straight to your pousada. The rest of the day is yours—most travelers walk into Vila dos Remédios, the island’s colonial village, to get their bearings and pick a restaurant for the evening. Rest well: the first dive session starts early.
Day 2
Our local partner will meet you at your guesthouse at 7:15 AM to take you to the dive boat. Certified divers run two dives at two separate sites (depth depends on your certification level, your experience, and the sea conditions that morning).
You are back at the accommodation by about 11:30 AM. The afternoon is free to explore the island.
Meals included: Breakfast at the pousada.
Day 3
Same early start, different water. The crew picks the day’s sites based on visibility, sea state, and where you dived yesterday, so the second session rarely repeats the first. Caverna da Sapata has underwater caves, while Ilha do Meio is known for turtles, rays, and moray eels.
Between the two mornings, you will have logged four dives. That is enough water time to settle your buoyancy and actually look around, which is the point of diving in Fernando de Noronha over five days rather than two.
Meals included: Breakfast at the pousada.
Day 4
A 10.5-hour 4×4 run covers the island above the waterline. It starts at Porto de Santo Antonio, takes in the Shark Pool at Alagado dos Tubarões and Buraco do Raque, and reaches Praia do Sancho, regularly voted one of the best beaches in Brazil.
After an optional lunch stop, continue your Fernando de Noronha diving trip and head to Cacimba do Padre, Baia dos Porcos, Praia do Sueste, and Praia do Leão. The tour closes with sunset at Mirante do Boldró.
Meals included: Breakfast at the pousada.
Day 5
Start your final morning with breakfast at the pousada. Depending on your flight departure, spend your remaining time shopping for souvenirs in Vila dos Remédios or enjoying a quiet moment on the beach to wrap up your Fernando de Noronha scuba diving trip on a high note.
Flying and diving on the same calendar day is strictly prohibited. To ensure safety, your final dive must take place a minimum of 12 to 18 hours prior to your flight’s departure—and at least 24 hours following multiple dives. Please share your flight details upon booking so we can coordinate your diving schedule accordingly.
Meals included: Breakfast at the pousada.
Accommodation options vary depending on each traveler’s preferences and availability. The Fernando de Noronha scuba diving package is built on a comfortable tourist-class pousada with breakfast included, close to restaurants and beaches. The island runs the full range from modest guesthouses to luxury hotels, so the category can be moved up or down on request.
Nannai Noronha is a boutique luxury property near Sueste Bay, built around sustainability and privacy. The service is personalized, and the architecture is set into the island’s raw landscape rather than on top of it.
Rooms are spacious bungalows raised on stilts to limit environmental impact, plus garden-facing apartments. Common areas include the signature restaurant TiaTe and an infinity pool over the turquoise water.
Pousada Morena sits 850 meters from Praia da Conceição and Vila dos Remédios, with a view of Morro do Pico. The infinity-edge pool and the full spa, sauna and hydrotherapy included, give it a resort feel inside a boutique footprint.
Rooms and bungalows are elegantly finished, many with private balconies, hammocks, and Atlantic views. The grounds are planted out, and breakfast is served in a garden area facing the island’s sunrise.
Pousada Ilha Bela is the small, intimate option: a guest house that trades scale for a personalized stay. It feels quiet and tucked away while staying within reach of the main attractions, which is why couples tend to pick it.
Suites are finished in light colors and natural textures. Common areas are a cozy deck and a breakfast area where the local dishes are prepared to order rather than laid out on a buffet.
Breakfast is included every morning at your accommodation and is served à la carte or as a regional spread depending on the property. Lunch and dinner are at your own convenience, which is deliberate: the island’s restaurants are half the reason people extend their stay.
Expect fresh seafood and regional Northeastern cooking, with a handful of international kitchens in Vila dos Remédios. The 4×4 tours in Fernando de Noronha have an optional lunch stop built into the schedule, paid on the day.
Dietary restrictions, including vegetarian, vegan, lactose-free, and food allergies, can be accommodated. Please inform us when booking so we can share this information with the pousada prior to your arrival. While you are free to select your own restaurants for lunch and dinner, our team is happy to recommend dining options that cater well to specific dietary needs.
One practical note for dive mornings: eat, but keep it light and easy to digest. Stay hydrated, skip alcohol the night before, and arrive rested.
“This was a totally unforgettable experience in so many ways. The lodge itself was a dream – self-sustaining cabins on a lovely fresh section of the Amazon, surrounded by beautiful scenery and sounds. We had prepared ourselves to fight off mosquitos and bare the jungle heat, but it turned out everyone was happy lolling around in shorts and t-shirts – with no bug bites – and the rooms were well air-conditioned. Even the non-air-conditioned common spaces were cool enough in the shade and breeze. There was a small pool and a bar with a chef who made the best caipiroskas we'd had in Brazil. At night, you had an unfiltered view of the stars from the top deck and the bats came to clear any bugs for us. Meals were buffet style and the chef was fantastic – she made special vegan entrees with soya protein for the two of us who were vegan (instead of our common experience of just having the side dishes to exist on!). The excursions were unforgettable. We did the three-day tour of the Amazon and went out every day on the boat to see different wildlife and areas of the forest and river. The guides were very knowledgeable and reactive to the kinds of things we wanted to see. The jungle hike was the true highlight, learning about how different trees in the forest provide medicines and building materials and all sorts. I would absolutely have stayed longer if I could have. To give you an idea of the dedication of the people who ran the lodge, one of our guides had spent hours learning French one night ahead of a French family arriving the next day. I could not recommend it more.”

“I had little time to prepare my trip to Fernando de Noronha and PlanetEXO did a great job of putting a package together, which included diving and lodging. All I had to do was get the plane ticket. PlanetEXO rescheduled the trip to accommodate a good flight deal I found. The hotel was nice and very well located, within walking distance of the main restaurants area. The diving company was top notch. The location itself, Fernando de Noronha, is a dream place for those who enjoy beaches, nature and diving.”

“It was a wonderful experience! I was feeling insecure since it had been more than 2 years since my last dive. So I hired a private instructor for my son and me. Agostim was excellent!! He explained everything, answered questions, and put us totally at ease. On the first dive he was very careful, giving me a lot of confidence. He also knew how to guide me without doing it for me, which meant that on the second dive I was confident and feeling much more capable! He showed us octopus dens, lobsters and many turtles. The whole team was great, from the sailor to the photographer. The boat is clean and well equipped. The equipment was of good quality. We loved it! We recommend it and we will definitely be back!”
