Best time, what to avoid, and what to bring
To make the most of the sea tours, prioritise calm seas and stable weather. The itinerary itself recommends mornings (around nine thirty or ten o’clock) and avoiding days with rough sea conditions or strong southerly winds, which may cancel departures. Before buying, check the weather, wind, waves, and tide forecast using the indicated links and adjust your choice between the short and full itinerary. Bring sunscreen, a hat, a towel, swimwear, and cash for extras (around R$16 for admission and R$ 80 for lunch, when applicable). Tide Forecast.

Themed and fun sailing
Departing from the Canasvieiras pier, the Pirate Boat tour is one of the liveliest experiences in the north of Florianópolis. The themed vessel sails through settings such as the beaches of Canasvieiras, Jurerê, and Daniela, as well as Dolphin Bay, while the costumed crew lead shows, music, dancing, and games that engage both adults and children. During the route, there is a stop for a sea swim for those who can swim, always with life jackets available and vessels approved by the Navy.
The Pocket (around 2 hours) is the most dynamic option: panoramic sailing along the beaches in the north of the island, intense entertainment on board, and a direct experience, ideal for those who want to enjoy the pirate atmosphere without committing a large part of the day.
The Full (approximately 4 hours) expands the itinerary, with more sailing time, a strategic stop for a sea swim for those who can swim, and extra moments of interaction with the crew. It is a balanced choice for those who want to enjoy it calmly, without rushing.
The Full + Fortaleza (around 5 hours) includes a visit to the Anhatomirim Fortress, with an entrance fee charged separately. In some options, there is an optional lunch stop at a local restaurant, making the tour even more complete.
Prices vary according to the option and advance purchase, usually with discounts for children and special conditions for groups. Arrive early for check-in, bring sunscreen and swimwear, and confirm the weather conditions on the day. Want to experience this adventure at sea? See the contacts below.

Guided paragliding flight
To see the coastline from a completely different angle, a tandem paragliding flight with an instructor is a strong option. The experience is usually designed for beginners and may include filming in some packages, as well as a camera option. The ideal day is clear and with favourable wind; if you have vertigo, it is worth considering before booking. Wear a helmet when instructed, stay hydrated, and follow the instructor’s briefing from start to finish.

Buggy in the north and horseback riding on the dunes
When the plan is to explore beyond the sand, two options stand out: a buggy tour around the north of the island, with photo stops and the chance to customise the pace with a driver-guide; and horseback riding through dunes and along the beach, with horses described as gentle and reservation required for some experiences (including full moon rides). Prefer dry weather to avoid slipping, getting stuck, and discomfort. Wear sturdy footwear for the horseback ride and follow the guide’s instructions in the buggy.

Speedboat tour in the bay
If you are in Canasvieiras and want to enjoy Florianópolis by sea, speedboat tours are a practical way to make the most of the day with more freedom in the itinerary. The formats vary according to the time available. The short tours, from 2 to 4 hours, are ideal for a lighter outing around the north of the island, with stretches such as Jurerê, Praia do Forte, and nearby areas. The itineraries from 5 to 8 hours offer a more complete experience, with time for swimming, snorkelling, and stops at places such as Campeche Island and French Island. On the full day tour, the idea is to spend the day at sea, with the possibility of including a barbecue on board, drinks, and extra activities, depending on the package. As the weather and sea conditions influence the experience, it is worth aligning boarding, itinerary, and inclusions before departure.

Acqua Show Park
To make the most of Acqua Show Park, choose the season: in summer you enjoy the outdoor areas more; in winter, the heated pool helps and it is usually less crowded. Avoid public holidays and high-season weekends to face fewer queues. Arrive at 10 a.m. and plan to stay for 3 to 6 hours; to leave early, go before 5 p.m. Bring sunscreen, flip-flops, and a towel. Outside food and drinks are prohibited, so set aside a card or cash for consumption and lockers. Check the height rules for the water slides and supervise children. Want to pay less? Buy online in advance.

Panoramic Helicopter Flight
If the idea is to see Florianópolis from another angle, the panoramic helicopter flight is a highly visual and memorable experience. There are shorter shared formats, ideal for those who want to fly over the north of the island conveniently, as well as exclusive flights for small groups, with more time in the air and a broader itinerary depending on the chosen package. The operation usually includes a safety briefing, an experienced pilot, and an aircraft prepared for this type of tour. As the flight depends on weather conditions, confirm the window before leaving and follow all boarding instructions. Want to request a quote or book?
