The bucket-list things to do — and the private, expert-led way to do each.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, and the private, small-group, or expert-led way to make it yours — your own pace, real access, none of the crowd.
Slip away to Florianópolis's most coveted island paradise aboard a private vessel. Ancient petroglyphs, crystal-clear Atlantic shallows, and a pristine crescent beach await — no crowds, no compromise.
Hike through Atlantic rainforest to Florianópolis's most secluded and spectacular beach — a beach reachable only on foot, where emerald lagoon meets crashing surf in total, breathtaking isolation.
Florianópolis's legendary lagoon is one of the world's premier windsurf destinations, framed by rolling sand dunes. A private session with an elite instructor turns this bucket-list waterway into your personal playground.
Uncover the layered colonial soul of Florianópolis with a private local historian — from the Cathedral of Our Lady of Desterro to the iconic Hercílio Luz Bridge — weaving Azorean, Afro-Brazilian, and republican history into every cobblestone.
Joaquina is Florianópolis's most celebrated surf break and host of international competitions. A private elite coaching session here is a genuine bucket-list moment — riding waves on one of Brazil's most storied stretches of sand.
Board a private luxury yacht for a curated coastal voyage past Mole Beach — the darling of Florianópolis's beautiful people — and on to the glassy cove of Ilha do Francês, with champagne, gourmet bites, and snorkelling in technicolour shallows.
