It is absolutely breathtaking! Our first day on Noronha we took a boat ride around the island. It culminated with the Baia dos Golfinhos.

Incredible, how many dolphins are swimming in this area.. on top of a hill and long walk distance, some guides are there and will help you to watch the dolphins, give you tips and explanation of the life of this animal. they have also extra binocular so that you get close to them..

A short walk in the bush from Praia do sancho, but absolutely worth it. The views are amazing - even though we did not see any dolphins.
