To reach Beto Carrero World in Penha from Florianópolis, you can arrange a return transfer or rent a car. A transfer lets you travel without driving; a rental car gives you control over timings and stops. From Praia dos Ingleses, allow for the drive to the BR-101 and set aside the day for the park. Compare total costs and your family’s pace.
Where the park is and how to leave Ingleses
Beto Carrero World is in Penha, on Santa Catarina’s northern coast. From Florianópolis, the road journey follows the BR-101 north and the roads into Penha. Plan from your accommodation to the entrance: timings from downtown do not represent a departure from Ingleses, Santinho or Canasvieiras.
Check traffic and allow for breaks, parking and entry. Set aside a full day. If the driver is tired afterwards, staying overnight nearby may be more comfortable than pushing through the return trip.
A transfer to Beto Carrero: who it suits
A transfer suits visitors who want to rest on the road and avoid driving and parking. Ask whether it is private or shared, where pickup happens, the return time and whether it stops at other accommodation.
Request the total for everyone and confirm child restraints, luggage space, cancellation and delay arrangements. Do not assume park entry, food or attractions are included. Use Bumba’s WhatsApp to ask about options and confirm the operator and terms for your date.
A rental car: flexibility for your family
A car lets you choose departure time, take breaks and use the vehicle on other days in Florianópolis. Share passenger numbers and luggage needs. Request suitable child restraints ahead of time and confirm availability, compatibility and price.
Add rental, selected protection, fuel, tolls and parking when comparing costs. Account for the vehicle return time too. The better value option depends on your dates and group; neither is always cheaper.
Enjoying the park as a family
Check dates, attractions and rules on the official Beto Carrero World website. Choose priorities around children’s ages, heights and interests. Madagascar Circus Show and Hot Wheels Epic Show are possible choices, subject to the current programme.
Alternate activities with food, water and breaks. Check each ride’s restrictions and paid extras. A short priority list allows time for surprises instead of rushing to see everything.
Before leaving Florianópolis
Confirm tickets, visit date, weather, departure address and return transport. Bring required documents and keep tickets accessible on your phone. Agree on return arrangements before entering the park.
If you also want to visit Balneário Camboriú, plan a separate day or overnight stay. See our family itinerary for Balneário Camboriú.
