Description
This exclusive 8-hour boat tour will take you to the most desired northern beaches on the island and the mainland of Florianópolis. The boarding will be in Jurerê Internacional, the most famous party beach on the island.
The beaches in the north of Floripa are the most popular on the island. A panoramic tour of many of them will be offered, as well as stops to dive and relax in the most scenic spots. After boarding, the boat will sail in the North Bay to Ilha do Anhatomirim. This is one of the first three fortresses constructed by the Portuguese in Santa Catarina in order to protect the South of Brazil around 1740. We’ll stop here to visit the fortress. After passing by Baía dos Golfinhos, the Dolphins Bay, we will go to Praia dos Magalhães and Praia do Tinguá, two small hidden beaches, both perfect for diving and floating and snorkeling. Snorkeling masks, floating spaghetti, and floating Island Buoy will be provided at no extra cost. Ilha do Francês, or the French Island is the next stop, where you will be able to swim from the boat to the shore. This is a perfect spot for diving and using the giant floater. The barbecue can begin at either Praia do Tinguá or Ilha do Francês. Our sailor will make the traditional Brazilian-style barbecue: rump steak, pork sausage, chicken wings, Brazilian curd cheese and garlic bread.The next stop will be Jurerê and Jurerê Internacional, the two famous party locations.
The last stop will be Praia do Forte, another spot the Portuguese chose to build a fortress in 1740. The chosen locations were in the North of the island as the invaders would come from the North. This way, Santa Catarina was well covered. We will end the tour at Beira-Mar beach.
