French Island Kayak, Snorkeling & Paddle Boarding Tour
Activity Details
Ready to discover one of the most beautiful spots in Santa Catarina? We’ll meet at the intersection of Rua Conselheiro Cláudio de Vincenzi and Canasvieiras Beach.
On this stretch of sand, we’ll equip ourselves with life jackets, paddle boards, and paddles. If you prefer, we can also provide you with a canoe. Once ready with all the equipment, we’ll begin paddleboarding or kayaking along one of the most beautiful areas of the northern coast of Florianópolis.
After paddling for about 20 minutes, we’ll reach French Island. Do you know why it’s called that? We’ll find out while enjoying the scenery of this untouched paradise, known for its waters in different shades, ranging from turquoise blue to emerald green. These colors blend with the island’s lush native vegetation.
If wind and tide conditions are favorable, we’ll paddle around the island on paddleboards or kayaks. In case of bad weather, we’ll admire the silhouette of the islet from a distance.
Next, we’ll provide fins, masks, and snorkels so you can explore the crystal-clear waters of French Island. Without needing to dive very deep, we’ll be able to appreciate the yellow and orange tones of the coral reefs.
After admiring the beautiful seabed of Santa Catarina, we’ll paddle back to the meeting point in Florianópolis, where we’ll conclude this 4-hour activity.
