Florianopolis Airport → Pousada Drops de Aniz
💡 Airport Uber has a separate pick-up zone to the right of the main exit. 99Pop is usually 15–20% cheaper but drivers are less likely to accept the long route. On peak summer weekends, double the estimated time.
Florianopolis Airport (Hercílio Luz) → Pousada Drops de Aniz (Praia Brava)
💡 Buy a fixed-price voucher at the airport booth right after baggage claim to avoid surge or meter games. The trip north is about 45km—longer if traffic hits the bridges.
TICEN (Central Bus Terminal, Florianopolis centre) → Praia Brava (final stop, 200m from pousada)
💡 This air-conditioned line runs via the north coast and drops you right at the beach. Buy a rechargeable bus card at TICEN—cash is not accepted onboard. Don't take the cheaper 331; it's slower and stops further inland.
Florianopolis Airport → Praia Brava (hotel drop-off)
💡 These vans run from the airport exit and serve the north beaches. Look for the 'Praia Brava' sign. They're cheaper than a taxi and almost as fast, but don't accept credit cards inside the van—carry small notes in reais.
