About this activity

Discover Florianópolis from the perfect vantage point — your bike! This is more than a ride; it’s a chance to see, feel, and taste the Island of Santa Catarina.

We’ll meet at Park Bikes Floripa, where I’ll set up your bike, adjust your helmet, and share tips for a smooth ride. Then we’ll pedal through the heart of the city on an easy, flat 13 km route almost entirely on cycle paths, with just 90 meters of elevation — great for all levels and family-friendly.

We’ll stop at Florianópolis’ urban treasures: the beautiful Beira-Mar Avenue, the charming 15th of November Square, and the iconic Hercílio Luz Bridge. At each stop, I’ll share stories that bring the city’s geography and history to life, and you’ll have time for great photos.

Before the final stretch, we’ll pause at the Public Market, where I’ll recommend the best Brazilian street foods and drinks. A perfect ending before returning to Park Bikes Floripa — full of new memories, flavors, and photos to treasure.
