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!!
