Forget the basic walking tours. Floripa is also an outdoor gym and a social playground. Here is how we actually spend our days:


1. The "Sand Culture" (Beach Tennis & Altinha)

If you aren't moving on the sand, you’re missing the heartbeat of the island.

  • Beach Tennis: It’s exploded here. I can point you to the best courts in Jurerê or Campeche where the vibe is high and the networking is even better.

  • Altinha: You’ll see circles of people keeping a soccer ball in the air on every beach. It looks intimidating, but there’s an art to joining in. I can help you find the "friendly" circles where beginners are welcome.


2. High-Energy Beach Clubs

When you want the music loud and the drinks cold, Floripa delivers world-class vibes.

  • From the sophisticated lounges of Jurerê Internacional to the more laid-back, "barefoot luxury" spots in Praia Brava.

  • My Support: I’ll tell you which club matches your vibe for the day—whether you want a wild party or a sunset lounge—so you don't end up at a tourist trap with bad music.


3. Hikes (Trilhas) with a Reward

We don't just hike for the exercise; we hike for the secret views.

  • Lagoinha do Leste: The big one. I’ll give you the "local's briefing" on the two different paths (the steep one vs. the long one) and the best time to go so you aren't fighting crowds.

  • Naufragados: A hike to the literal end of the island, ending at a lighthouse with wild waves.


4. The Surf & Wind Connection

Floripa is the surf capital of Brazil for a reason.

  • Whether it’s the consistent swells of Joaquina and Campeche or the kite-surfing winds of Lagoa da Conceição, I can connect you with the right local instructors who speak your language and know the tides.


Why Have My Support?

You can find a list of beaches on Wikipedia, but you can’t find the vibe there.


  • The "Right" Day: The wind changes everything in Floripa (the Vento Sul is no joke). I’ll tell you which beach is perfect today and which one will be a mess.

  • Skip the "Gringo Price": Knowing where to go means you pay what we pay.

  • Safety in Numbers: For the more remote hikes or late-night clubs, having a local contact who knows your itinerary keeps you safe and relaxed.

"I’m not here to book your chair; I’m here to make sure you’re sitting at the right beach, with the right crowd, doing the things you’ll actually remember."

Want to know which beach is hitting the right vibe this weekend? Let's get you sorted.
