Extreme sports in Florianopolis, Brazil

Make no mistake, the Nexus Brazil Surf Experience™ is all about one thing – amazing surfing. That being said, there is a huge variety of options for adventure and extreme sports in Florianopolis and it simply wouldn’t do the island justice not to provide you with access to them.

So whether your muscles need a day off from the intense surf sessions or you’re just curious to try a different adventure sport for the first time, Nexus can make it happen. Your Florianopolis extreme sports options include:

Kitesurfing either in the ocean or in the Lagoa – kiteboarding is an incredible rush and should not be missed. Beginner lessons available.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for beginners to blackbelts, learn advanced techniques of the world's most effective martial art from one of the world's top Jiu Jitsu champions.

Windsurfing in the Lagoa da Conceição lagoon, literally at the backdoor of your accommodations and reachable by short walk or a few minutes’ drive.

Sandboarding in the sand dunes near Joaquina beach, just a 5 minute drive from your accommodations. Think snowboarding minus cold and snow, plus bikinis and shorts.

Motorcycle tours with rentals located just a few minutes from your accommodations.

Para-gliding off of the cliffs high above Praia Mole beach, literally in front of your accommodations, or off of the famous vista point Morro da Lagoa -- you won't find a more stunning view anywhere in Florianópolis, or perhaps the entire world for that matter.

Snorkeling and diving with absolutely incredible marine wildlife just a short distance off the coast of Florianópolis accessible by boat.

Boat tours to quaint and authentic fishing villages inaccessible by car, deserted island paradises or sunset cruises in a 42 foot yacht.

River rafting tours just about an hour outside of Florianópolis.

Ecological hikes that take you to the edge of breathtaking cliffs and through lush green forests in remote parts of the island.

Yoga and Pilates available directy in front of your accommodations or nearby in the Lagoa towncenter.

Swimming in deep rocky ravines and caves where natural springs are fed by seasonal waterfalls.

Massage Therapy at our beautiful indoor/outdoor massage studio with stunning views overlooking the Lagoa da Conceição lagoon, available by appointment.

All of these adventure sports in Florianopolis are at your beck and call with Nexus. If any of these outdoor activities sound interesting, just let us know at the time of booking your trip and we’ll make all the arrangements in advance. Or you can decide once you get here – “no stress”, as the locals like to say.

And of course you needn’t feel pressured to try any of these extreme sports activities. Many of our guests end up being so enchanted with the Brazilian culture and the way of life in Floripa that they are content to make like the locals and spend most of their time relaxing after surfing, enjoying the atmosphere, socializing on the beach and partying – hard to argue with that approach!!
