Additional Info Whales & Dolphins - Wildlife adventure off the coast of Santa CatarinaEvery year, between June and November, the Southern Coast of Santa Catarina becomes the stage for an amazing natural spectacle, with the arrival of the Southern Right Whales. Escaping the Antarctic winter, they migrate north in search of warmer and calmer waters for reproduction and nurturing of their young calves. In the small, half-moon shaped bays of Santa Catarina, they come very close to the shore and in clear days they can be seen from your hotel room or the beachfront. The boat trips, though, are a must for a close encounter with these giant mammals. In the nearby historical town of Laguna you will meet the famous dolphins that for generations help the local fishermen catch their fish.
Day 1: Arrival in Florianopolis and transfer to Praia do Rosa (1h30 min drive), one of the most beautiful beaches in Brazil. Afternoon free. Dinner at the hotel. Day 2: Breakfast briefing with the biologist or
monitor that accompanies the whale watching trip. Transfer to Garopaba
or Imbituba for the boat trip. After lunch, return to the hotel. Dinner
at the hotel. Day 3: After breakfast transfer to Imbituba to visit the Whale museum, located in the old whaling station (please note that the museum only opens on certain days). Afterwards continue to the fishing area of Laguna, a perfect place to spot dolphins. This symbiotic behaviour has been documented in many nature programs including a recent one by Animal Planet. Lunch in the area. Afternoon free back in Praia do Rosa and dinner at the hotel. Day 4: Breakfast and return transfer to Florianopolis airport. Price in US$ (Aug. 1-Oct. 31 2010): from $1015 single, $569 per person double Price Includes: Additional Info
