Floripa By Bus was an incredible experience! They took us to the best locations and beaches, including a beautiful turtle sanctuary, where we learned about conservation efforts. The guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and made the trip fun and engaging. Everything was well-organized, and they even helped us get discounts at local restaurants, which was a great bonus. A perfect way to explore Florianópolis—highly recommend!

We drove past historic sites in Florianopolis Centro and then stopped at 6 places on Florianopolis Island. Three sites were beaches, but they were quite different from each other. My favorite places were the sea turtle research center (with living sea turtles in several tanks and also activities for kids) and Santo Antonio, the town where 6000 immigrants from the Azores settled. It was cool to see the oyster farms just offshore. Every stop has great views and we took a ton of pictures. Our guide explained the sights in Portuguese, Spanish, and English (we are English speakers). She was also happy to answer individual questions and was knowledgeable about the area. The tour took about 8.5 hours, as noted on the website. Lunch was at a buffet -style restaurant in Canasveiras (50 Regis all you can eat). I learned a lot about Florianopolis on this tour and thought it was well worth the price. One thing that was unusual by U.S. standards was that you had to provide your passport number, confirmation number, and phone number when calling the Floripa By Bus WhatsApp number to arrange pickup. Just be prepared to have that info on hand.

So many stops. I had time to play in the waves, eat and learn about the island. Overall a very relaxing and enjoyable experience.

Covers a lot of area for a good price. The tour guide was extremely nice and knowledgeable. The driver did a great job as well on the small streets. Make sure you bring a jacket. And if you only speak English just realize you may only get an abbreviated explanation of some of the points of interest. This is only because there is not enough time to explain in 3 different languages while passing a point of interest. But if you have any questions you can just ask the tour guide when you make stops.
