Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best way to get to Pousada da Praia do Sonho from Florianopolis airport, and what should we expect regarding travel time?

We usually recommend renting a car for the most flexibility, as it allows easy access to the park and surrounding beaches. The drive from Florianopolis Hercilio Luz International Airport (FLN) takes about an hour, depending on traffic. Alternatively, a pre-booked transfer or taxi is feasible, though it will be pricier.

We find Pousada da Praia do Sonho offers a charmingly simple yet comfortable experience. While it's not a luxury lodge, the rooms are clean and well-maintained, and the family-friendly atmosphere is palpable. Expect a relaxed vibe perfect for unwinding after a day exploring the nearby Serra do Tabuleiro State Park.

Is Pousada da Praia do Sonho truly as child-friendly as it seems, and what activities are there for younger travelers?

What kind of wildlife can we hope to see when exploring Parque Estadual da Serra do Tabuleiro from this lodge, and are there any specific trails we should prioritize?

While the park is vast, we often spot various bird species, monkeys, and if we're lucky, perhaps even some larger mammals on quieter trails. We recommend heading towards the higher elevations for a better chance at spotting diverse fauna. Always go with a local guide for safety and to maximize your wildlife viewing opportunities.

Considering its coastal location, are there any specific safety considerations we should be aware of at Pousada da Praia do Sonho or in the immediate vicinity?
