The engine hums steady as the hull parts the green-blue shelf off Bombinhas. Low cliffs and scrubby headlands slip past; each cove opens like a page in a coastal atlas. You feel the spray, hear gulls test the wake and watch narrow beaches—many reachable only by water—reveal untouched sand and rocky outcrops.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.

The engine hums steady as the hull parts the green-blue shelf off Bombinhas. Low cliffs and scrubby headlands slip past; each cove opens like a page in a coastal atlas. You feel the spray, hear gulls test the wake and watch narrow beaches—many reachable only by water—reveal untouched sand and rocky outcrops.
This stretch of Santa Catarina coastline carries a simple maritime history: small fishing hamlets, oyster and shellfish farms that still work the tidal rhythms, and a local stone-working tradition preserved at the Lítica Workshop. Geologically the coast alternates between granite outcrops and sheltered bays where wave action has left clean sand and natural tide pools; currents here keep the water clear and rich with life.
The tour threads ten deserted beaches—Cardoso, Basílio, Lagoa, Casqueiro, Pasto, Lau/Hermínio, Triste, Mauri, Santa and Vermelha—pausing at Praia Triste and Hermínio. At Triste a 700-meter trail (medium difficulty) leads to a modest waterfall and natural pools, a refreshing payoff after a short climb over root-strewn paths.
Practically: the trip runs about 3.5 hours, includes a guide, a stop for a swim in rock pools, and a visit to the Lítica Workshop. It’s not recommended for children under five, pregnant travelers or those with serious mobility or cardiac issues. Bring reef-safe sunscreen, secure footwear for the trail and a wind layer for the return leg. Weather and sea state dictate cancellations—check tide and wind forecasts the morning of your trip.
Expect close encounters with marine life, practical local history, and an active half-day that mixes easy hiking with sheltered boat cruising.

The trail is about 700 meters and rated medium—short but uneven with roots and rock; wear grippy shoes and allow 20–40 minutes round trip depending on pace.
Children under 5 are not permitted on the waterfall trail; the operator also advises against the trail for pregnant travelers, elderly guests and those with reduced mobility.
Yes—there’s a 30-minute stop in natural rock pools and additional opportunities at calm beaches when sea conditions allow.
Trips are canceled for high winds or unsafe sea states; the tour provider will refund if canceled at least 24 hours before departure or if weather forces same-day cancellation.
The Bombinhas coast developed around small fishing and shellfish communities; the Lítica Workshop preserves a local stonecraft tradition tied to coastal livelihoods.
