10 Day Trips from in Florianopolis That You Shouldn't Miss

April 14, 2022 Emerita Lamoureux

Florianopolis was dubbed by Brazilian weekly Veja as "the best place to live in Brazil", so it’s only natural that tourists would want to check it out, too. And do they ever. Florianopolis is a thriving destination for its perfect beaches, excellent surfing, amazing seafood, and juxtaposition of a modern megacity with 16th-century colonial fortresses and relaxed markets and parks.

I made a day tour with Floripa Click Tour to the East-Coast of Florianopolis. A perfect day with a perfect mixture of nature, fun and history. The guide Rafa was very friendly and knows the island like the back of his hand. To top it of after the tour you will get a variety of picture of the best quality. I can highly recommend Floripa Click Tour

Booked and paid for tour... tour guide let us know the morning of hike that he was overbooked and would have to refund. We had already Uber'd to the location listed (which was wrong). However, he never refunded. I messaged tour company and also asked for a refund with no answer to either. Seems like a very unorganized group and does not answer requests. We ended up doing the hike ourselves. Didn't need the guide anyway.

The tourist bus Floripa by Bus makes a complete itinerary where you will be on top of everything that Ilha da Magia has to offer. With pre-determined stops and visits, each tour is accompanied by a full-time tour guide and the bus is waiting for the return to continue the tour. In addition to the guidance, we also have information from recordings and a thematic soundtrack. The bus has no roof at the top, so the experience is even better.

Imagine a fantastic and exclusive place, rich in history and panoramic beauty. So is Campeche Island. Some frequently asked questions: ➡ On the island, there is only one restaurant that serves drinks, meals and snacks, only accept cash payment. ➡ To know the trails, cliffs, archaeological sites and rocky monuments, it is necessary to hire the services of environmental monitors, the cost varies from R $ 15.00 to R $ 25.00 depending on the chosen trail. ➡ The tour is subject to weather and sea conditions, cancellation may occur on the same day depending on these conditions, your reservation will automatically move to the next day. ➡ It is possible to bring chairs, umbrellas and coolers.

Inclusions: Air-conditioned vehicle

Exclusions: Lunch, Use of Snorkelling equipment

We wanted to book a trip to the Ilha do Campeche with really little anticipation and most of the agencies were already fully booked. Finally, we found Belatur. The communication was completely via WhatsApp and easygoing, the agency also responded really quickly. The payment was done directly while being transported to the port. The guide (Mario) was really nice and also offered to talk to us in English (I preferred to practice my Portuguese) and had a lot of knowledge. Generally, I absolutely recommend this organization and I strongly recommend to visit the Ilha do Campeche. Even though it was a cloudy day we really enjoyed our stay. Obviously, having a sunny day is even more impressive.

Only 500 people can visit Campeche Island every day, that is why this tour is so hard to book. Venture out to spend a day exploring the private island Campeche for 4 hours. After a relaxing 30-minute cruise, enjoy the mesmerizing natural and exotic beauty around you - sunbathe on sand, go for a swim in the shimmering turquoise waters, or take a walk through the forest.

Inclusions: Driver/guide, Pickup and drop-off from designated meeting points
