Fly from Recife or Natal to Fernando de Noronha (one hour flight), meet up with your guide, and transfer to your hotel on this beautiful archipelago paradise. Fernando de Noronha is a highly protected, exclusive destination made up of 21 islands, only one of which is inhabited. Officially a Marine National Park, the archipelago is home to some of the most stunning beaches and inspiring landscapes in the world. Settle into your hotel just outside of Noronha's unofficial capital city, Vila dos Rememdios. Enjoy dinner and a relaxing evening on the main island.
After breakfast on your first morning in Fernando de Noronha, get acquainted with your surroundings by taking a morning hike to the clifftop lookout above Baia dos Golfinhos. Playful dolphins visit this bay, sometimes numbering in the hundreds, particularly in the early mornings. Continue the hike to Baia dos Porcos (named after the Cuban Bay of Pigs) and then Baia do Sancho, considered the most beautiful beaches in Brazil, where you will have the chance to swim and snorkel. Return to Vila dos Remedios via the coastal trail and visit beaches such as Cacimba do Padre, Bode, Americano and Boldro. Total excusion duration is 3 hours, and the hiking distances can be adjusted based on preferences.
For the remainder of your stay, fill your days with the island adventure of your choice. Activities abound on Fernando de Noronha during your Brazil:
- Fernando de Noronha Scuba diving: Touted as one of the best diving destinations worldwide, Noronha's crystal clear waters beg to be explored! Dives are catered to the travelers' ability levels and degree of experience.
-Beach days: Fernando de Noronha is home to Brazil's most beautiful beaches: Stroll the length of these pristine white sand expanses, splash and play in the warm Atlantic surf, and relax your cares away under the Brazilian sun. You can also try your hand at surfing in the idyllic waves of Baia do Sancho.
-Main island tour: Meander through the trails and walkways of the island, either on foot or in a dune buggy, learning about the historical significance of Noronha and enjoying its exotic vegetation
-Tamar Project: Attend an class put on by Brazil's environmental organization, the Tamar Project. The Project focuses on conservation and protection of Brazil's endangered marine life, especially its sea turtle population.

The trip was not only memorable for the amount of animals we saw but also for the people and accommodations at the two camps where we stayed. Our first guide, BK, was a wealth of information about the animals, landscape and down to the plants and what they were used for. Everyday out was a learning experience with him. All the people at the camps were gracious and the food was excellent.
Our second camp in the Okavanga was just as good as the first as far as the staff, accommodations, food and animals. After our experience at the first camp we amazed that the high quality remained the same. Our guide, G, made sure we were able to enjoy every experience including a rush through the bush to witness a cheetah and an ensuing hunt that he heard over his radio.
In both camps there were enough guides out that if they saw something the other guides were informed which helped in seeing as much as possible. It was also nice that the concessions were large enough that we did not have vehicles following each other throughout the day.
Normally there is always something in a trip of this length that we think could be improved upon but this is the rare case where we cannot think of anything. From the time we left the States to when we returned it was one of the most hassle free vacations we took.
Perhaps emphasizing the use of the laundry facilities at the camps would be useful because of the luggage restrictions would be the only thing I can think of as an improvement to future clients.
