Southern Ilha de Santa Catarina
Aerial views of the pristine Naufragados and Campeche beaches immediately after takeoff from FLN.
Guarda do Embaú
The winding Rio da Madre meeting the Atlantic Ocean, creating one of Brazil's most scenic coastal landscapes.
Farol de Santa Marta
A glimpse of the historic lighthouse and the massive sand dunes surrounding the coastal community of Laguna.
Whale Watching (Seasonal)
Between August and October, keep an eye on the shoreline of Imbituba to spot Southern Right Whales near the coast.
Sit on the left for the best morning lighting, as the sun will be behind the aircraft, illuminating the coastline perfectly for photography. This side is also superior for spotting the intricate lagoon system of Laguna during the descent phase. Look for the 'moles' where local fishermen work with dolphins.
