This experience combines a scenic coastal walking trail, a boat trip, local cuisine, and a view of the sun setting over the South American continent. It is an ideal day for those who enjoy nature, authentic gastronomy, and exploring Florianópolis’s distinctive island culture. The day begins in the traditional fishing village of Barra da Lagoa, where the slow pace of island life and the fresh sea air set the tone. From here, the Pedra da Boa Vista Trail begins — a 5.3 km route leading to Praia Mole, passing through stretches of Atlantic Forest and offering natural viewpoints with sweeping views of the coastline and the vast ocean. Along the way, there is a stop at Praia da Galheta, a protected and remote beach known for its untouched beauty and crystal-clear waters. The hike ends at Praia Mole, famous for its soft golden sand and relaxed atmosphere.

After visiting the beach, travellers take a short ride to a nearby pier and board a boat to Costa da Lagoa — a peaceful, car-free village accessible only by trail or boat. Surrounded by lush greenery and calm waters, it is the perfect place to enjoy a traditional island lunch featuring fresh shrimp dishes.
