Step by step: self-booking the Park trails
- Get your Marine National Park ticket. It is needed on the trails inside the Park, and advance purchase is online. The ticket’s QR code is used at the entrances.
- See which trails require booking: Atalaia, Capim-Açu, Morro São José, Enseada do Abreu and Pontinha-Caieira have a daily visitor limit, to protect the natural pools and corals.
- Ticket bought online: book through ICMBio’s online system, on the Park’s official website (parnanoronha.com.br), entering your ticket number.
- Ticket bought in Noronha: booking is in person, at the self-service kiosks of the Visitor Center, in Boldró, every day from 8am to 7pm.
- Book in advance. Spots are limited and in demand, and the ideal is to book one to two months ahead.
- Guide: some trails require a guide certified by ICMBio. One can be hired after booking, and the list of certified guides is on the Park’s website.
- On the day: check the tide table (the pools need low tide) and bring your ticket. Most spots open at 8am and close at 6pm.
What to bring
Land trails: sneakers or boots, hat or cap, insect repellent, comfortable clothes with sun protection, plenty of water and a snack. Water trails: mask, snorkel, fins and life jacket.
The information follows what ICMBio publishes. Rules, availability, schedules and prices change: always confirm on the Park’s official website. If you prefer not to worry about any of this, booking and guide can be handled for you.
