Peri Lagoon or Frenchman's Island: Which tour is for you?

Florianópolis is a paradise for paddling enthusiasts, but with such diverse landscapes, a common question arises: should I choose the tranquility of Peri Lagoon or the vibrant beauty of Frenchman’s Island (Ilha do Francês)?

At Adventure in Floripa, we’ve prepared this comparison to help you decide which experience best fits your profile and what you’re looking for in your day out.

A moment of deep connection with nature and yourself.

Peri Lagoon: Immersion and Tranquility (Freshwater)

Peri Lagoon is the largest body of freshwater in Florianópolis and a protected Conservation Unit. It is the perfect place for those looking to disconnect from the hustle and bustle.

The Scenery: Calm, dark waters surrounded by mountains of preserved Atlantic Forest.

The Paddle: Since there are no waves or sea currents, paddling here is lighter and more consistent. It is the ideal location for beginners or anyone looking to focus on meditation and silence.

Instructor's Highlight: Perfect for practicing paddling technique without interference from sea winds.

Frenchman’s Island: Crystalline and Vibrant (Sea)

Located in the North of the Island, between Canasvieiras and Jurerê, the Ilha do Francês is one of the most sought-after destinations in Floripa.

The Scenery: Green, crystalline waters that resemble the Caribbean. It’s common to spot fish and marine life during the trip.

The Paddle: This is an open-sea tour, but in a protected region. It offers a bigger dash of adventure, and the reward is an unforgettable swim at a paradisiacal island.

Instructor's Highlight: Here, monitoring wind and tide conditions is essential. Our instructor is not only a Physical Education Professional but also a certified sailor by the Brazilian Navy. This expertise allows him to choose the best times to ensure the crossing is safe and enjoyable for everyone.

Conclusion: Why not both?

If you are looking for a "paddling baptism" with a focus on technique and relaxation, start with Peri Lagoon. If your goal is breathtaking visuals and the thrill of exploring the ocean, Frenchman’s Island is your place.

Regardless of your choice, at Adventure in Floripa, you will be accompanied by a certified and qualified instructor to ensure your only concern is enjoying the view.
