The experience

The tour opens at Praia da Vila, the former stage of the World Surfing Championship, then moves through Mirante do Porto to Praia dos Amores, known for calm, transparent water. From there you reach Praia da Ribanceira to see the region's largest dunes, each stop lasting five to ten minutes for photos. The route is built around the landscape itself: each beach has a distinct character, from the sheltered coves to the mountain-backed waves of Praia da Silveira.

The day's anchor is a two-hour stop at Barra de Ibiraquera, where the lagoon meets the sea and Ilha do Batuta sits visible offshore. This is where you eat (lunch is on your own) and have time to move at your own pace. In the afternoon, the tour continues to Praia da Ferrugem and its white sands, then passes Praia da Silveira before reaching Siriú Dunes, where you can try sandboarding or skibunda if you rent the equipment there. The final stop is Praia Central de Garopaba at sunset, a twenty to thirty-minute photo opportunity that closes the day.

An experienced guide travels with the group and speaks English, Spanish or Portuguese. The vehicle is air-conditioned and pickup is arranged from your accommodation. The full day runs ten hours, so plan accordingly if you have evening plans or an early departure the next morning.

What makes Praia do Rosa one of the world's most beautiful bays?

Praia do Rosa is recognized internationally as part of a select group of the world's most beautiful bays, though the tour itself focuses on the ten beaches of Imbituba and Garopaba rather than Praia do Rosa alone. The region's appeal lies in the harmony between settlement and nature that has preserved the beaches and landscapes intact.

How much time do I actually spend at each beach?

Most stops last five to ten minutes for photos. The exception is Barra de Ibiraquera, where you have two full hours to eat lunch and explore the lagoon-to-sea connection at your own pace. Siriú Dunes gets thirty to forty minutes if you want to try sandboarding or just walk the dunes.

Is lunch included in the tour price?

Lunch is not included. You have two hours at Barra de Ibiraquera to eat at a restaurant of your choice, and the stop is timed to give you space to sit down and take your time.

Can I try sandboarding at Siriú Dunes?

Yes, sandboarding and skibunda equipment are available to rent at Siriú Dunes, but the rental cost is separate from the tour price and paid on-site.

Does the tour end in time for dinner, or will I be back late?

The tour runs ten hours total, finishing at sunset in Garopaba. The exact return time depends on your pickup location and traffic, but plan for a full day with evening arrival back at your accommodation.
