The Experience
Before You Go
Buy Unipraias admission in person
The park entrance fee (approx BRL 70) is paid on-site; carry cash or a card to avoid delays at the gate.
Arrive with sun protection
Exposed beach and hilltop viewpoints mean high UV—wear SPF, a hat, and sunglasses even on overcast days.
Secure loose items for the ZipRider
Ziplines enforce strict rules—use provided tethers or lockers for phones and hats to avoid losing gear mid-ride.
Plan for transport time
The tour includes hotel pickup in Florianópolis; expect several hours of round-trip driving—pack water and snacks for the journey.

Conservation Note
The Unipraias corridor crosses fragments of Atlantic Forest—visit responsibly by staying on trails and avoiding single-use plastics to reduce pressure on sensitive coastal habitats.
Once a small fishing settlement, Balneário Camboriú expanded rapidly in the 20th century with the rise of coastal tourism, transforming its shoreline into a high-rise beach destination.
