Question 1

How much does a Fernando de Noronha diving package cost?

Accepted Answer

Prices depend on the number of dives and whether a course is included. A 2-day diving package starts at around R$2,000 per person, the 5-day diving trip (four dives plus a 4×4 island tour) is about R$4,600, and the Open Water and Advanced Adventurer courses run roughly R$6,400 to R$6,900. Every package page shows a clear “from” price. Note that the island’s environmental and national-park fees are paid separately on arrival.

Question 2

What scuba diving packages and courses are available in Fernando de Noronha?

Accepted Answer

We offer four options: a 2-day diving package (two guided dives a day), a 5-day Fernando de Noronha diving trip that combines four dives with a 4×4 island tour, a PADI Open Water course for beginners, and an Advanced Adventurer course for certified divers. All packages include guided dives with certified instructors and transfers to the dive sites. Extra dive days can usually be added on request.

Question 3

Do I need to be certified to dive in Fernando de Noronha? Can beginners dive?

Accepted Answer

You do not have to arrive certified. Beginners can take the PADI Open Water course on the island and finish fully certified or join an introductory dive with an instructor. If you are already certified, bring your certification card and logbook. Most sites suit Open Water divers, while the deeper sites and the Corvette V17 wreck are best with an Advanced certification, which you can also earn here.

Question 4

When is the best time to dive in Fernando de Noronha?

Accepted Answer

Diving is good year-round, with water around 27°C (80°F) the whole year. The calmest seas and best visibility, up to 50 m, generally come between September and January, which is also the easiest time to book courses. Conditions shift between the island’s two coasts through the year, so the dive centers choose sites to match the day’s sea state. 👉 Read more: When is the Best Time to Dive in Fernando de Noronha, Brazil?

Question 5

How do you get to Fernando de Noronha?

Accepted Answer

Fernando de Noronha is an island 350 km offshore, reached only by air. There are direct flights of roughly 1 hour from Recife (REC) and Natal (NAT), both well connected to the rest of Brazil. Plan to arrive with time before your first dive, and note that flight schedules can change unexpectedly, so confirm your routes again close to departure. 👉 Read more: How to Get to Fernando de Noronha, Brazil?

Question 6

Do I need to pay the Noronha environmental fee and park ticket?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every visitor pays two mandatory fees on arrival: the environmental preservation fee (TPA), charged per day of stay, and the Marine National Park ticket, which covers entry to the park’s beaches and trails for several days. These fees are set by the authorities, are not included in the diving package price, and should be budgeted separately. Daily visitor numbers to the island are also capped, so book ahead. 👉 Read more: Fernando de Noronha – Taxes, Fees and Other Important Information

Question 7

What marine life will I see diving in Fernando de Noronha?

Accepted Answer

Fernando de Noronha sits in a protected marine park with some of the richest sea life in the South Atlantic. On most dives you can expect sea turtles, rays, moray eels, and reef fish over vibrant coral, with frequent sightings of reef sharks and, with luck, dolphins. Because it is a conservation area, the reef is healthy and the encounters are close, which is a big part of why the island ranks among the world’s best dive destinations.

Question 8

What should I bring for diving in Fernando de Noronha?

Accepted Answer

Bring your dive certification card and logbook if you are certified, plus swimwear, reef-safe sunscreen, a hat, and a refillable water bottle. Dive gear (tanks, regulators, BCD, wetsuit) is provided with the packages. If you have your own mask or computer you are comfortable with, feel free to bring it. Budget cash or a card for the island fees and meals ashore.

Question 9

What are accommodations like in Fernando de Noronha?

Accepted Answer

Accommodation options in Fernando de Noronha are varied, ranging from luxury hotels to modest guesthouses. Naturally, this allows each traveler to choose what best suits their preferences, needs, and budget. 👉 Read more: Where to stay in Fernando de Noronha?

Question 11

Are flights and the island fees included in the package?

Accepted Answer

No. Our packages generally cover the diving, guides, transfers to the dive sites, and the services listed in each itinerary but not your flights to the island or the environmental and national park fees, which are paid on arrival. Once you share your travel plans, our team can advise on flights from Recife or Natal and on timing. Flight schedules can change unexpectedly, so confirm close to departure.

Question 12

Can I book a private group, or do packages run as shared departures?

Accepted Answer

Both are possible. Private bookings suit couples, families, or groups of friends who want more flexibility, privacy, or a customized itinerary, while shared dives are a good way to meet other divers. Tell our team your preferred dates and group size, and we will check availability with our local dive partners. Private groups may carry different rates than shared dives.

Question 13

Can I choose my own travel dates?

Accepted Answer

Yes, in most cases. Diving runs year-round, so packages can usually start on the dates you prefer, subject to dive-center and accommodation availability and the island’s daily visitor cap. We recommend checking availability with our team before booking flights, especially in the high season from September to January.

Question 14

What payment methods do you accept? Can I pay in installments?

Accepted Answer

In most cases we work with a 50% deposit to confirm the reservation, with the balance due up to 30 days before the trip starts. Deadlines can vary by travel date and partner policy. International travelers usually pay by credit card or Wise transfer. Brazilian clients can pay via PIX, bank transfer, or credit card, with the option of up to 5 installments (interest may apply).

Question 15

What is the cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

Cancellation policies vary by package and local partner, and each one has its own conditions for refunds, credits, or fees. The policy that applies is based on the date your cancellation request is submitted. You can find the policy for your booking on the package page, in your booking portal, and in your confirmation email.

Question 16

Do I need a visa to travel to Brazil?

Accepted Answer

Visa requirements for Brazil vary significantly by nationality. Some countries have visa-free entry, others can apply for an e-visa online, and some need a visa from a Brazilian consulate in advance. We strongly recommend checking the current requirements for your passport well before your travel date, since policies can change. For official, up-to-date information, see VISAS – Brazil’s Ministry of External Affairs ..

Question 17

Do I need to be vaccinated to travel to Brazil?

Accepted Answer

Brazil does not require foreign tourists to show proof of vaccination to enter. That said, the Ministry of Health recommends arriving with an up-to-date routine schedule covering diphtheria, tetanus, polio, rubella, and measles. Yellow fever is not generally a concern on Fernando de Noronha itself (an oceanic island) but is advisable for travel elsewhere in Brazil. Hepatitis A and B are also recommended. Consult your doctor or a travel health clinic four to six weeks before departure. 👉 Learn more: Vaccination and Traveller’s Health (Brazil) / CDC Travelers’ Health (USA) / Foreign Travel Advice (UK)
