Baía dos Golfinhos in Fernando de Noronha is where hundreds of Spinner Dolphins (species that jumps out of the water and spin its own axis) have chosen for procriation, presenting us an unforgtable show.

The Bay, surrounded by rocks, became one of the largest natural acquarium in the world. It is not possible to get to the beach but you may contemplate the show Nature present us and take many pictures every time the dolphins jump out of the water.

The best way to sight the dolphins is to go to the Dolphin lookout at dawn. You can get there from the Posto de Informação e Controle (PIC) through a short trial (accessible for people with disabilities). There biologists working at the Spinner Dolphin Project will give you a brief explanation about the species and lend visitors some binoculars.

Another interesting option is to go around the Bay by boat. Sometimes these sweet mammals swim along it.
