Capim Açu + Leão Beach Hiking Tour

This tour begins with a pick-up from your hotel in Fernando de Noronha, leading to Sancho beach. A 6.5-kilometer hiking route will take you through diverse landscapes. The hike features various ascents and descents, with viewpoints overlooking both sides of the island. You'll visit the Sapata Lighthouse, which is accessible only via this trail.

The hike continues down to the Capim Açu cavern, where seawater enters through the rocks, creating a special atmosphere. A stop will be made to enjoy its natural pools.

From there, we will hike another 3 kilometers along a path of volcanic rocks to reach Leão beach, known for its beauty and as a nesting site for sea turtles.

This full-day experience lasts approximately seven hours before returning you to your hotel.
