Overview

This is an opportunity not just to see the Island of Santa Catarina but to feel it and taste it! We will meet at Bike To Go, a Bike rental shop. I will help you set up your bike and give you general instructions. Once on our bikes, we will get to know the geography and history of the central region of Florianópolis. The 22 kilometers of the route are almost entirely on cycle routes and it is quite flat, with a total elevation of only 137 meters. The path is easy and safe, even more so when traveled in a group and guided by a professional, but if you feel you need a little help we offer electric bikes for an extra price. We will make 6 stops along the way for geographic and historical contextualization, but at any time participants can interact with me and ask questions. At the end of the tour, in Bar do Ori, I will reccomend you the best bars and restaurants in town.

Great experience and education

Published on Nov, 2024

Isaac is a wonderful guide. He is genuine, encouraging, and knowledgeable. His stories and the path of the tour made for an excellent introduction to Florianópolis.

Get some exercise and see Floripa

Published on Nov, 2024

Great ride along some beautiful bike paths in Floripa. The guide, Isaac, is energetic and knowledge. The route is pretty safe and goes along the water most of the way. 90% flat with a couple of moderate/difficult hills but they were only a block or so. There were three of us in our 40s/50s in decent shape. Super fun. And a great way to see the city and get some exercise for four hours.

Fun and safe ride with Isaac

Published on Jul, 2024

The ride was fun! The course is safe and relatively easy, plan most of the path. Isaac is a careful guide, great person, good sense of humor. The bikes are top notch. We saw little monkeys very closely, drank sugar cane juice and after the ride we had beer and sandwiches

Passeio maravilhoso

Published on Apr, 2024

This tour by bike was an excellent opportunity to see the city and the hidden nature even smal crocodiles in the mangroves. The guide has profound knowledge of the history of this island.

Excellent experience with a smart, great tourist guide!

Published on Feb, 2024

This experience deserves nothing less than 5 stars. Isaac is simply amazing. His knowledge, charisma, and attention to detail make the tour even more special. He knows exactly how to engage with the group, ensuring that everyone feels included and informed. Safety first: The bicycles provided are extremely safe and well-maintained. Beautiful scenes and lots of lessons from Florianópolis and Brazil's history. As you pedal through Beira Mar, Isaac unveils some interesting points of Brazil's history, highlighting why the island was a strategic point during the country's colonization. Learning about the past in such an immersive way turns the tour into a very cool experience, where you sweat out but also gain valuable knowledge.
