Overview
Embark on an unforgettable journey to the Right Whale Coast with a comfortable transfer from Florianópolis and an expert bilingual guide. In Imbituba, you will discover the calm bays that serve as natural nurseries (berçários) where right whale mothers give birth and nurse their calves. First, visit the Right Whale Conservation Center alongside a local monitor and step back in time at the historic Museu da Baleia, South America's last 18th-century whaling station. Next, visit the Mirante da Praia do Porto for a historical talk connecting the port to the whaling era. Then, enjoy a short hike to the observation deck at Ribanceira Beach. This is our main stop: we will gather on shore to observe the whales in their most important nursery, using our guide’s professional binoculars. Finally, savor a delicious, typical lunch at a charming restaurant by the sea and unwind on the beach before heading back to Florianópolis. Join us to experience this magical marine sanctuary!
