– Day Trip – Private boat tour to explore the South of the Island- Explore hidden beaches such as Natural Pools of Barra da Lagoa and Gravatá Beach- Visit the pearl of Santa Catarina (Campeche Island)

Description

This exclusive 8-hour boat tour will take you to the most desired beaches in the island of Florianópolis. The South of Florianópolis is known as the most preserved area on the island. It is where most of the islanders have chosen to stay and, therefore, has the most traditional original characteristics and the most charming nature. The tour starts at Barra da Lagoa Canal Harbor, where you all board the boat. It will take you to Canal da Barra da Lagoa, the Canal surrounded by two picturesque fishing villages all along the way to the sea. Barra is where the canal mouth is located. We will head to the natural pools of Barra da Lagoa, a place you can only reach by hiking or by boat. Praia da Galheta is the next stop, here naturism is common, optional though. The tour continues to paradisiac Gravatá beach. This area of the island is 100% preserved, as there are no constructions or inhabitants whatsoever. The only construction is a fisherman’s shed used by fishermen whenever they are around this remote part of the island. The next step is most turquoise water that can be found in Southern waters, Campeche Island. Campeche Island is one of the pearls of Santa Catarina. It is located less than 2 km away from Praia do Campeche, in a region of Floripa South. This archipelago has paradisiacal scenarios and immense historical and cultural importance not only to the State but also to the country
