Description

Lagoa da Conceição is known for being a hippie and hipster neighborhood where everything happens. The lagoon is huge, it has around 20 km2, and it is surrounded by abundant biodiversity and with distinct views from every corner. This is what we’ll be exploring together on this boat tour day trip.

We’ll start the day by boarding the boat on the green waters of the Barra da Lagoa Canal. A tour of the sea will show you why this traditional fishing village is so special. After that, we’ll try the Lagoa sandboarding, with awesome views of Lagoa, the sea, and the mountains. After that, we'll have some swimming time and play time (Fresbee, floating noodles) at a hidden lake beach.

Then, we’ll head to the Lagoon Coast, another fishing neighborhood that can only be accessed either by trail (most of it) or by boat, where we will have lunch, a traditional authentic restaurant on the water, where you’ll have the chance to have delicious seafood dishes, as fresh as it gets, with a home-feeling seasoning. It'll be a seafood feast. Veg option is available.

After lunch, we'll have a learn how to fish wil a local fisherman from the fishing village and, then, we'll have an easy 10-min hike to Costa da Lagoa Waterfall. Then, we'll have more time to swimming, but now at Praia do Saquinho.

The day will end with a sunset happy hour by the scenic lagoon. 1 Caipirinha and a snack are included.

Great lazy day boat tour...

Great lazy day boat tour of the lagoon include sand, seafood and sunsets!

This day was a blast!

This day was a blast! I went on both boat trips and they were so different. The sandboarding was a fun, silly excursion. All of the stops, food, drinks, and views were fantastic. Even the boat drivers were having a great time. All around, my favorite tour from a month in Floripa!

Great boat day with swimming, seafood and sunsets!

Another great boat day in the lagoon with the whole RY gang! Expect to get wet because you have to enter and exit the boat multiple times from the beach. After a lovely drive, our first stop was at the sand dunes to go sand boarding - definitely a calf workout walking up and down the dunes! After getting sand in ALL the wrong places, we were back on the boat to head to lunch. Lunch was a "seafood sequence" with tons of delicious seafood options (very little non-seafood or vegetarian options so beware). We did a short/easy hike to a waterfall (which turned out to be a water "trickle" due to the time of year but peaceful nonetheless). Then we were back on the boat to head to a beach for relaxation and swimming. And finally we headed to a beach-side restaurant for sunset which included a complimentary drink. Overall a very pleasant and relaxing day chilling with the group.
