There are quiet beaches with vast expanses of white sand, and little hills for you to climb. Note: bring your own shade if you need it. Be careful about your timing with the tides on the walk between Encantadas and Nova Brasilia. i always felt safe on the island. One local claimed that it's because it's too hard for criminals...

only spent 3 days here but it's lovely. no traffic, deserted beached (I was here in the off season), sand paths, great easy walks

A small paradise island, with overpriced places where to stay and to eat. Food is actually bad (if you are lucky you get frozen fish brought from Curitiba down to the sea). But the beaches, and the rustic climate, the car-less experience, are unique.

Honey Island is an amazing getaway, beautiful beaches, with or without waves, great trekking through sub tropical jungle and up rocky headlands. It can take up to a day to get there from Curitiba, but the trip is also beautiful. There are plenty of shops and resturaunts but take cash with you, i didnt see an ATM. You can hire... More

this is a smal island em front of city paranaqua, there you will take a boot to arrive to the island. Nice beaches, if you will go there not on high season, it is better, not so much people. Wether there is mostly good.

I find I add negative reviews when I get told by so many people that a place or something is amazing and I build up expectations. Ilha do Mel is a 1.5 to 2 hour boat trip (which is an experience). It is a relatively peaceful island with locals playing football on the beach and a few surfing. You can... More

I was on my own, but it is a great place to travel solo, with friends, as a couple, with kids... Encantadas beach faces the continent so the waves are not too strong, good for the little swimmers or grown-ups who just want to chill out. Many trails for the adventurous kinds that can take you to even more beautiful... More

We stayed for a weekend. this is a large island but you can take boats to othere areas of the island and then do some walking form there. There are no cars so we left our car on the mainland and took a ferry to the island.

We visited during the off-season and stayed at Encantadas so had the place to ourselves almost. Judging from the number of accommodations and restaurants I would guess that the island is much busier during summer and holiday periods. Getting there from Curitiba was pretty easy - Graciosa buses run daily every few hours and will drop you in Pontal do... More
