Step away from the renowned beaches of Florianópolis and embark on an exclusive, full-day journey into the heart of Santa Catarina’s rich history and truly unique wildlife. Designed for the discerning traveller, this private tour to Laguna promises comfort, deep cultural insight, and an unparalleled natural encounter.
The primary focus of your private expedition is to witness the globally recognised cooperative fishing phenomenon between local artisanal fishermen and the wild Bottlenose Dolphins, known locally as Botos.
This extraordinary interaction, which occurs at the mouth of the Tubarão River, is a masterclass in nature's synergy: the wild dolphins actively herd schools of mullet towards the waiting nets of the fishermen, often signaling the exact moment to cast the net.
Your dedicated private guide, an expert in the region's ecology, will ensure you are positioned at the optimal location for observation. Prioritise respectful, quiet viewing to maximise the chances of witnessing this unscripted natural event.
Complementing your wildlife encounter is a visit to the breathtaking Farol de Santa Marta. Stand atop the dramatic cliffs surrounding this powerful lighthouse, one of the largest on the South American coast. The vistas offer sweeping, panoramic views of rugged, untouched beaches and the vast Atlantic Ocean, providing superb photographic opportunities.
Explore the distinct geological formations and pristine local beaches that define this iconic landmark, providing a stark and beautiful contrast to the urbanised areas of Florianópolis.
Laguna is more than just natural beauty—it is a cornerstone of Brazilian history. Walk through the charming, preserved colonial centre and learn about the revolutionary heroine, Anita Garibaldi, whose spirit of adventure and courage shaped the region's identity.
Appreciate the historic architecture and museums that tell the storey of colonial and imperial Brazil, transforming your nature escape into a cultural immersion.
