Fernando de Noronha is reached almost exclusively by air. Domestic flights connect Governador Carlos Wilson Airport (FEN) with Recife (REC) and Natal (NAT), mainly on Azul and Gol, with flight times around 1 hour 15 to 1 hour 30 minutes. There are no regular ferries from the mainland, and occasional expedition cruises or private yachts need special permits to call at the island. Because visitor numbers are capped and daily environmental taxes apply, it is wise to purchase flights and confirm your environmental tax payment and park pass well before travel.
The main road (BR 363) runs from Porto to Sueste and is covered by a simple public bus that runs roughly every 30 minutes and accepts cash only. Nortax operates the island's official taxis, with fixed fares between key points, and many visitors rent buggies or small cars for a day or two to gain more freedom.
