Your Way - Noronha, Brasil

HOW DID WE GET HERE I have been living in Noronha for the last 10 years. I have come to visit and dive and in the middle of my dive-trip, I found myself helping foreign visitors fully discover and explore this island. There were a few local companies working with regular packaged tours back then but I was never a fan of packages as I felt they would include unnecessary items just to make it seem like clients were getting a good deal. I always prefered to pick and chose according to my own preferences, like having my own menu of options and starting from there… After my visit, I decided to move to Noronha and properly assist future travelers with the planning process of their trips to this unique island. HOW DO WE WORK? We are officially registered as a local agency and we trully believe in sustainable tourism. We believe that local community, international tourists and ourselves should benefit from this relationship in a healthy way. We are here simply to serve as the bridge between the foreign traveller and local suppliers we trust. Customers are not charged any fees for our services. We get commissioned by suppliers we carefully chose over the years. We understand that our clients trust us that we’ll provide them with accurate info on the different options available so they can easily come to a wise decision on their own, after all, the planning part of the trip should also be an enjoyable process. Unlike Trip Advisor and other internet forums we prefer to supply unbiased info as clearly as possible, through pictures and complete descriptions rather than giving out our personal opinion. We have learned during our time here in Noronha that people are very different, even if they seem to have many things in common with you ☺ It is safer to help them come to a decision on their own and not in any way, give out our personal opinion, or even try and convince them of what you think would be best – simply because they are the only ones who can trully know what’s best for them… WHY ARE WE HERE? We are here, because Noronha has become our biggest passion and we’d love to take part in preserving this place as well as helping it evolve through tourism. Yes, we do believe this is possible if it’s done carefully involving all the local actors – Environmental NGOs, National Marine Park, Public Administration, State Govenment and Local Community. We also believe that information is the key for a complete and comprehensive visit to this archipelago. We are here to help you get informed! We chose the name Your Way because we believe that Noronha should be discovered the best possible way - YOUR WAY. We are here simply to assist you during this process: before, during and after your stay here :) Before your arrival we are here to help you get informed about different options of accommodation for every budget – from the very budget/economy place to beautiful upscale inns. As well as activities that are fairly paid, restaurants we suggest, a good map of the island, tide charts, tips about unique activities, TAMAR talks that have some English components, and others… During your stay we'll be available at any time via email, text messages, and telephone. After your visit – we’ll be here to help you, in case you forget something that we can send you back, or by helping you keep in touch with this beautiful little place via facebook, flickr, and youtube ☺ We’d love if you could plan a second visit here or even recommend us yo your friends and family. This way we’ll be able to continue with our little business on this island ☺ • Our phones are: + 55 11 6357 6677 or +55 81 9949 1087 • Email (and msn): [email protected] • Skype: dricanoronha WHAT DO WE BELIEVE IN? Ecotourism not only tries to make visitors more environmentally aware but it also tries to leave most of its profit within the community where it operates. By being an agency, we are commissioned by suppliers so this means that we receive a fair percentage of the price you are paying, but the bulk of it will be kept by local suppliers. They are: local accommodation options, boat owners, trekking guides, and buggy owners. Bigger companies will try and pay as little as possible to local guides, so they may afford their big infra-structure such as buses, big staff, fancy office… We have nothing against all of that as long as guides, and local suppliers are fairly paid. We’d llike to ask you to be an active part of healthy sustainable tourism and therefore be aware of the choices you make while visiting communities that depend entirely on tourism to survive.
