Our guide will take you to Pontal do Sul and from there you will go on a private fast boat to quickly reach the Island and visit both sides of this paradise on the Paraná Coast. No more waiting to make the most of your day! Travel time from Curitiba to departure for Ilha do Mel is approx. 2:30 am on normal days. This time may be longer on busier days, such as holidays. Boat time is 10 minutes. Ilha do Mel is a magical place: sandy trails lead from one side to the other and there are no cars or motorbikes there! You will visit the Gruta de Encantadas, the Farol das Conchas and have free time to have lunch, enjoy the beach or take a walk to the Fortaleza (optional by bike or boat). Our guide will give you tips on places to have lunch and you can choose what you prefer. Have a different day to get out of your routine and enjoy the nature of Ilha do Mel.
Gruta de Encantadas is a natural formation accessible via a quiet trail and an access deck with rocks at the end. At low tide it is possible to access the interior of the Cave to see it. It is a place of legends and fantastic stories.
From the disembarkation point to the base of Farol hill it is approx. 40 minutes walking along the trails of Ilha do Mel. From there there are 144 steps to the top. Go at your own pace and enjoy the scenery. From up there you can see Praia do Farol, Praia de Fora and further down, Praia Grande.
Vila do Farol on Ilha do Mel has several restaurants of varying prices and our guide will give you tips on where to have lunch. Lunch is optional and you can choose what you prefer.
Praia do Farol is a peaceful place for swimming on Ilha do Mel. Stay away from the base of the lighthouse due to the current and rocks and make the most of the beach. Here on some days the sea looks like a swimming pool, with few waves and crystal clear water.
The small Praia de Fora is one of the favorites of surfers who live and visit Ilha do Mel. Take the opportunity to explore and enter the sea if you prefer a beach with more waves.
This is an optional location on the tour! If you want, you can rent a bike, walk or take a boat there. It is 5 km along the practically deserted beach to the Fortress, which was built in the 18th century to protect the bay of Paranaguá. The interior has cannons and the well-preserved structure harks back to Brazil's colonial era, when pirates and enemy attacks were a constant threat.

Que bom que gostou!!
We loved everything, excellent work, we were treated very well by all guides, I emphasize the punctuality, cordiality, kindness and dedication of guides Carol and Reginaldo, to whom we only have to thank, thank you for everything! I also point out that I had requested at the purchase of the package the special snack for the train ride since my wife is celiac, being treated fully, which left us very happy. We went somehow we were 'imitated by Reginaldo' who took us by car to the pointal and accompanied us on the crossing to the island of Mel, helped us and go up and down the boat, passed important information about the points visited, led us with total safety throughout the journey, total attention to the smallest details, always asking us if everything was right, impeccable behavior.
