Florianopolis Bike Tour: Photography, History & Street Food
Description
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.

Itinerary
Pedro Ivo Campos Bridge is one of the three bridges connecting the Island of Santa Catarina to the continent. Underneath it, the is a bike bath recently renovated filled with graffitti and urban art.
This is the longest suspension bridge in Brazil and is the city's postcard. On Sundays it is closed for cars so we can ride our bikes in it. On Weekdays we take the cycle routes on its side.
This park is the perfect place to breathe fresh air in the middle of the city's hustle and bustle. It is also where we can have a quick picnic to try brazilian nuts, drinks and snacks.
The City's Cathedral is located at the very heart of the Historic center so it's a good opportunity to appreciate the local life and architecture
To access Getúlio Vargas Square we ride thorugh the beautiful Hercílio Luz Avenue. The Square marks the end of the Historic Center.
Our last stop is at Florianopolis Public Market. Here you can buy local snacks and drinks and also souvenirs.

Bike excursion with stops at the city's highlights. Knowledgeable guide who is attentive to the participants.
Great experience to do in Floripa! We went to great spots that we couldn't go without such a great expert as Isaac was. Thanks again and we really enjoyed the experience!
This bike tour was amazing. I learned a lot about Florianopolis. I was a solo traveler and this was a great way to spend time. Overall this bike company has great communication spoke with them over Whatsapp with ease. The tour guide that I got her name Lis and she was amazing! Made the tour super fun and was a great person!
I decided to do this bike tour at the last moment and it exceeded my expectations. Rafael was super knowledgeable and I learned a lot about the city, the history, the culture, and nature. I got tons of great personal photos and everyone was extremely kind. It gave me more reasons to revisit this beautiful place in the future. This tour was worth every penny and I hope to experience it again with family or friends in the future. With this being my first time here, it made me realize how much more there was to explore in Floripa. I got a ton of great recommendations on how to enjoy the rest of my travels. Thanks a ton!
Our tour guide took us to so many great spots including the Public Market, the Cathedral, and across the Hercilio Luz Bridge. There were a lot of great opportunities for pictures and to learn more about Florianopolis and it's history. Highly recommend!
Isaac is a wonderful guide. He is genuine, encouraging, and knowledgeable. His stories and the path of the tour made for an excellent introduction to Florianópolis.
Great ride along some beautiful bike paths in Floripa. The guide, Isaac, is energetic and knowledge. The route is pretty safe and goes along the water most of the way. 90% flat with a couple of moderate/difficult hills but they were only a block or so. There were three of us in our 40s/50s in decent shape. Super fun. And a great way to see the city and get some exercise for four hours.
It was amazing to meet Floripa from the perspective of the Best of Floripa team. We were family and there were older people in the group. They pedalled super well and loved the physical activity combined with a true class of history of Brazil with several interesting facts about the development of the region of Santa Catarina.
One of the best bike tours I have ever done was in Floripa. It is an experience that I recommend to those who want to know Floripa in a unique and authentic way.
Unforgettable tour in Floripa!! A mix of history, laughter and endorphin. Even knowing Florianopolis, Isaac presented us with another surprising look at the island of magic.
