Capim Açu + Leão Beach Hiking Tour

Capim Açu + Leão Beach Hiking Tour

This tour begins with a pickup from your hotel in Fernando de Noronha, proceeding to Sancho beach to start a 6.5-kilometer hike. The route includes various ascents and descents, providing opportunities to appreciate viewpoints on both sides of the island. The trail leads to the Sapata Lighthouse, which is accessible only via this path.

The hike then descends to the Capim Açu cavern, where seawater seeps through, forming natural pools for a scenic stop. Continuing for another 3 kilometers along a volcanic rock path, the tour reaches Leão beach, renowned for its sea turtles that come to nest in the sand.

The hike lasts approximately seven hours before returning to your hotel.
