Description
Florianópolis is known in Brazil as the 'Island of Magic'. Its breathtaking beaches are a paradise to surfers and beach goers alike. It is thought by many as the best place to unwind and get in touch with your inner self. It holds a lot of history as well as some of the most beautiful beaches in the country
In addition to over 40 gorgeous beaches, 'Floripa' the city's nickname has plenty of other attractions. On the tour, you will see the historical center wherever the little yellow and charming metropolitan cathedral is located.
In the most important square of the city, we'll get acquainted with Praça Novembro XV (15th of November Square, named after the date in which the republic was proclaimed) wherever the imposing Palace Cruz e Souza stands, which now houses the historical museum of Santa Catarina.
The Palace is important in many ways as it's staged many important moments in Brazilian history throughout different points in time. It hosted both Brazilian emperors during their visits to the city and was stormed by revolutionaries during the federalist revolution in 1891. It seems this palace has seen its share of history.
Named after the Governor of Santa Catarina, another historical and visually striking location is the Ponte Hercilio Luz. It was the first bridge constructed to link the Island of Santa Catarina to the mainland. The bridge is now closed for traffic and it is a national cultural heritage.
But obviously, in a city like Floripa, the beaches and lagoons are still a must see. One of our other stops is one of the most famous natural landmarks in the city, the Lagoa da Conceição.
The neighborhood houses not only a lagoon, but also a few buildings dating back to when the city was colonized and settled.
We will visit the lagoon of Conceição belvedere, which has a beautiful and complete view of the lagoon and Morro das Sete Voltas, afterwards, we will pass the Rendeiras avenue, arriving at Joaquina Beach, wherever various national and world surfing championships take place. Beautiful waves are great for practicing the sport and it is a place admired by sports fans.
Leaving Joaquina, we will go to Barra da Lagoa, wherever we will have free time for lunch (not included).
Finally, tourists return to their hotels.

Delivered everything it promised and then some. Easy going, you do not need to be fit for it. The professional Tour Guide is a smart touch. Easily one of the best things we did.

Buen paseo
Está muy bien, aunque le falta poco para ser excelente. Lo de transporte compartido de ida y vuelta a la mayoría de los hoteles en Florianópolis es un acierto. La frecuencia entre unidades podría ser mejor en las paradas del final. Buena experiencia dentro de todo.

Foi o melhor dia da nossa viagem a Florianopolis. Trocamos a data dois dias antes e não houve problema. Muito bom o detalhe do guia de turismo. Super recomendado.

Very well organised
We picked it from the photos and it was even better in person. The pace was comfortable, neither rushed nor dull. We had no idea about the history of Florianópolis. If only every tour were run like this.

Good option
Worth doing, with a few things to polish. Great for a first visit to the city. I did not expect professional Tour Guide to be included, a nice bonus. It costs more than going alone, but it saves you all the planning. One of the stops was closed that day and nobody mentioned it. Worth it, knowing the above.

Superó las expectativas
Cumplió con todo lo que prometía y un poco más. Florianópolis fue una sorpresa, no estaba en nuestros planes. Por el precio que pagamos, la verdad que rinde muchísimo.
