Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior panoramic view of the Serra do Tabuleiro's rugged peaks and the stunning southern bays of Florianopolis island during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🌲

Araucária Forests

Spot patches of the prehistoric-looking Paraná Pine trees across the central highlands.

⛰️

Serra do Tabuleiro

The most dramatic part of the flight, featuring dense Atlantic Forest and steep mountain escarpments.

🌊

Baía Sul

The sparkling waters of the South Bay, providing a beautiful contrast between the mountains and the sea.

🏖️

Ilha do Campeche

Depending on the landing pattern, you may see this crystal-clear turquoise water island to the south.

✈️

Coastal Lagoons

Views of the diverse coastal ecosystem including wetlands and small lagoons near the airport perimeter.

The right side is best for natural landscapes. For the best lighting, choose an early morning flight when the sun illuminates the Serra do Tabuleiro. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes before landing for the transition from the mountains to the ocean.

🛶

Rio do Peixe

Immediate views of the winding river valley surrounding Joaçaba right after takeoff.

🚜

Catarinense Plateau

Expansive views of the high-altitude agricultural fields and rolling hills of the state's interior.

🏙️

Florianópolis Downtown

Clear sight of the city's urban center and the modern skyline as you cross the channel.

🌉

Hercílio Luz Bridge

The iconic suspension bridge and the two smaller bridges connecting the island to the mainland.

⛵

Baía Norte

The calm waters of the North Bay, often dotted with small boats and oyster farms.

Sit on the left if you want the best view of the Hercílio Luz Bridge during the final approach. Morning flights are ideal for this side to avoid the harsh afternoon sun while looking north toward the mainland coast.
