Paddle from Lagoa do Peri
to Gurita Waterfall

A natural refuge of calm waters and preserved forest

If you’re looking for a peaceful experience surrounded by native forest and far from the buzz of urban beaches, this kayak and Stand Up Paddle tour is for you.

Lagoa do Peri, located in the southern part of Florianopolis island, is one of the largest freshwater reserves in region and a true ecological paradise.

The journey to Gurita Waterfall is done on extremely calm waters, perfect for SUP and Kayak beginners. The scenery features mirror-like water, patches of Atlantic Forest, and the soothing sounds of untouched nature. At the end of the paddle, a short trail leads to the waterfall, where we can rest, cool off, and recharge our energies.

📍 What's Included:

  • High-quality equipment (SUP or kayak, life jackets, and paddle);

  • Guidance from a qualified instructor;

  • A practical briefing before we set out, so you feel confident and safe;

  • Personal accident insurance.

💡 No Experience Needed!

The route is calm and current-free, perfect for those experiencing paddle sports for the first time.
Before we begin, you’ll receive all the necessary instructions to paddle safely and enjoy the experience to the fullest.

And the best part: you don’t need to know how to swim - life jackets are mandatory and ensure your safety.
You can choose between single, double, or triple kayaks (in triple kayaks, the middle seat is ideal for small children and doesn’t require paddling).
