Top Florianopolis Nature Walks

Florianopolis’ attractions aren’t just confined to one part of the island, but this panoramic bus tour showcases the Magic Island in its entirety. Rather than spending hours waiting for public buses or walking between sights, you’ll travel between highlights, including the Centro Histórico de Florianópolis, Barra da Lagoa, and Joaquina Beach, with complete ease, with free time to explore stops.

The hiking trail that leads to Lagoinha do Leste is one of Florianópolis' most famous, but this trekking tour enhances your experience of the route by helping to deepen your connection to nature. Letting your guide lead the way means that you can divert more of your energy to the rich selection of flora and fauna you’ll encounter on the route, rather than constantly stopping to check the map.

The Lagoinha do Leste viewpoint is one of Florianopolis’ most iconic, but reaching the lookout spot can be challenging if you don’t know the way. This hiking tour through the Atlantic forest overlooking the Lagoinha do Leste beach not only saves you the hassle of navigating, but your photographer guide captures you from your best angle to ensure you return with epic shots for social media.

Our guides ensure your safety and still connect you with the history and secrets of the island. If you want lush nature, the right amount of adrenaline and photos that look like another world — this tour is for you.

You might think surfing is only reserved for the water, but this private sandboarding experience on Mocambique Beach in Florianopolis proves otherwise. Ideal for thrill seekers, this experience sees you soar down smooth dunes on a cross between a snowboard and a skateboard, for an exhilarating experience that reveals Floripa’s scenery from above.

Embark on an unforgettable journey to the Right Whale Coast with a comfortable transfer from Florianópolis and an expert bilingual guide. In Imbituba, you will discover the calm bays that serve as natural nurseries (berçários) where right whale mothers give birth and nurse their calves. First, visit the Right Whale Conservation Center alongside a local monitor and step back in time at the historic Museu da Baleia, South America's last 18th-century whaling station. Next, visit the Mirante da Praia do Porto for a historical talk connecting the port to the whaling era. Then, enjoy a short hike to the observation deck at Ribanceira Beach. This is our main stop: we will gather on shore to observe the whales in their most important nursery, using our guide’s professional binoculars. Finally, savor a delicious, typical lunch at a charming restaurant by the sea and unwind on the beach before heading back to Florianópolis. Join us to experience this magical marine sanctuary!
