Costa da Lagoa Boat Tour: Trails, Waterfalls and Villages in Florianópolis

The Costa da Lagoa boat tour mixes sailing with exploring on foot, in a light-adventure style. It departs from Barra da Lagoa aboard the Neptune and crosses Lagoa da Conceição to the Costa da Lagoa community, which sits on the lagoon shore and can be reached by boat or by trail. There is time to explore trails, waterfalls and riverside communities, between mountains and calm water. On board, the group has a kayak and snorkel gear, and the barbecue is optional. Groups are small, up to 14 people, and if you travel without a group you can join one that is already formed.

Costa da Lagoa is a community on the shore of Lagoa da Conceição, on the east side of Florianópolis, reachable by boat or by trail. That is why the boat plays a central role: it is the way to a place the operator describes as a hidden paradise between mountains and calm water. The tour fits the nature and local culture category, where the scenery and the riverside communities are part of the day.

In Curta Floripa's operation, the Neptune leaves the Deck do Passeio with up to 14 people, accompanied by a guide, and carries life jackets, accident insurance and a restroom on board. The route is adjusted to the sea and wind, so the program can vary from one day to the next. If you want a meal during the trip, the barbecue on board is optional, with the menu set by the group.
