Noronha is Brazil’s most expensive destination by design: the archipelago is a marine national park, visitor numbers are controlled and almost everything is flown or shipped in. The upside is that the activity list is short and easy to compare, and every option includes pickup. Figures below come from the Tours Brasil catalogue of things to do in Fernando de Noronha.

Which budget fits your trip
Minimum activity budget
One island tour: the 7-hour adventure for €77, then beaches and trails on your own. This works well if you came to Noronha mainly to dive, snorkel or rest, and only want a guided overview on your first full day. All three island tours include pickup, so you do not need to rent a buggy for that day.
Balanced budget
The Ilhatour (€93) plus the catamaran with lunch (€206): €299 per person, seeing the island by land and by sea. Read recent reviews before booking the catamaran, rated 2.9/5.
Four-day stays
The 4-day combo costs €246, less than the Ilhatour and catamaran booked separately (€299), although the contents differ; compare the details on the listing. Divers and snorkellers should leave free days for the water: see our guide to snorkeling in Fernando de Noronha.
3-day itinerary and cost
Day 1: fly in, check in and stroll around Vila dos Remédios, then watch sunset at Forte do Boldró. Activities: €0.
Day 2: the Ilhatour (€93, pickup included). Activities: €93.
Day 3: the catamaran with lunch (€206, 5 hours) and a free afternoon at the beach. Activities: €206.
Total: €299 per person in activities, or €77 on a lean plan with the 7-hour tour and a self-guided beach day. Fees, flights and accommodation come on top.

When to go: the rainy season usually runs from March to July; August to February is drier and busier.
Where to stay: Vila dos Remédios for restaurants within walking distance, Floresta Nova and Floresta Velha for guesthouses along the BR-363, and Boldró or Vila do Trinta for the inner-sea beaches.
Money-saving tips
- Book flights and accommodation months ahead; they are the biggest and most demand-sensitive costs.

- Bundle activities: the €246 combo beats booking the Ilhatour and catamaran separately (€299).
- Bring your own snorkel gear and sunscreen from the mainland.
