The bucket-list things to do — and who runs each one.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, who runs it, and how to book it direct — so you can weigh it against your ship’s excursion and pick what suits you.
Stand on the edge of one of South America's most dramatic canyons — Itaimbezinho, a 5.8 km fissure dropping 720 m into the Atlantic Forest below. A private guided descent into this UNESCO-recognized landscape is a once-in-a-lifetime spectacle.
Glide through the emerald waters of Babitonga Bay — Brazil's largest mangrove estuary south of the equator — aboard a private yacht, spotting Guiana dolphins and anchoring off deserted islands for a champagne lunch.
São Francisco do Sul is one of Brazil's oldest continuously inhabited cities, with a perfectly preserved 17th-century colonial core. A private architectural historian leads you through cobblestone lanes, Baroque churches, and a vibrant artisan market.
Plunge into the last remnants of Brazil's endangered Mata Atlântica alongside a professional naturalist, trekking past cascading waterfalls to canopy-level viewpoints where toucans, pumas, and exotic orchids share the sky.
Journey into the misty highlands settled by Italian immigrants in the 1870s — now Brazil's premier wine country. A private tour pairs a barrel-cellar tasting at a boutique winery with an authentic gaucho churrasco lunch at a working estância.
Cassino is home to one of the world's longest uninterrupted beaches — 212 km of wild Atlantic shore. A private dune buggy convoy sweeps you along the surf line and into the vast dune fields bordering Lagoa Mirim for a champagne sundowner.
You know what to do on the day. Here is the trip it belongs to — each one opens as a whole plan, not a list: where to fly in, every port, what it runs.
