The Experience

The day starts with pickup from Balneário Camboriú and a drive south to the Bombinhas peninsula, the only one of its kind in southern Brazil. You travel in an open-sided safari-style vehicle—the kind that lets you feel the breeze and see without glass between you and the coast—stopping at each of the seven beaches as the guide points out what makes each one distinct. Bombas opens with a Blue Flag international badge for water quality. Four Islands gets its name from four visible offshore formations: Galés, Arvoredo, Deserta and Macuco. Mariscal sits on a hilltop that divides two neighborhoods, and from there you can see three beaches at once—Mariscal, Mar de Fora and Mar de Dentro—plus the landmark Morro do Macaco across the water.

Conception is one of the most protected beaches in the region, also carrying the Blue Flag award. Canto Grande stretches about 4 kilometers and splits into two coves—Sea of Dentro and Sea of Fora—making it one of the largest and most photographed in Bombinhas. Zimbros runs about 2 kilometers of fine sand inside a natural bay, sheltered by green slopes and dotted with small boats that make it look like an enormous natural pool. The guide is certified in Spanish, Portuguese, English, Italian and one additional language, and the vehicle is air-conditioned for the stretches between stops.

After the safari portion, you have roughly 4 hours of free time at Bombinhas beach itself. That's time to swim, walk into town for lunch at one of the restaurants near the sand, or browse the shops in the charming center. You're not on a fixed schedule for that part—you choose how to spend it. The return journey to Balneário Camboriú happens in the late afternoon, and the whole day runs about 8 hours from pickup to drop-off.
