Day Trips

Following are some of the day trips you can enjoy in Floripa. If you can experience one or more of them, you will have a better understandig of why we call this island the "Paradise Island".

Campeche Island

A 2hs. boat ride from Barra da Lagoa takes you to this satellite island of the coast of the Island of Florianopolis.

Costa da Lagoa

A nice walk of about 7 miles will take you to this some how isolated and pristine area, which fairly claims to be one of the most special spots in Florianopolis. You may be able to do the trip on your own (although some time may be a bit tricky to find the right path), or we can arrange a guide to show you the way. The place can also be reached by boat from leaving from Lagoa da Conceicao.

 
The pace that only a place where no car can reach can offer...

lagoa da Peri

This fresh water lagoon is maintained as a state park, where the local authorities are trying to keep the local flora and fauna intact, but still allowing visitors to enjoy this ecological reserve.
