Abstract: The islands or island states have physical characteristics that make them attractive to the visitation, its specificities are conducive to the practice of various tourist modalities, especially those using the natural attractions. The island environments are considered fragile and can easily suffer the degradation of their ecosystems. The causes of this degradation can be caused by humans or from natural processes. In this sense, the present study aimed to identify the activities that are being sold in six Brazilian tourist islands.

The results obtained in this paper concluded that some of the activities cited by respondents as frequent, have high potential for negative environmental impact and require more planning or even its prohibition, by not be consistent with the fragility of the island environment.
