The New Attraction at Unipraias Takes Visitors to a Viewing Platform with a Rotating Cabin for 56 People, Offering a 360º View of Balneário Camboriú Amidst the Atlantic Forest and at Over 200 Meters High, Combining Tower Height and Hill.
The arrival of the Giro Tower expands the repertoire of experiences in Balneário Camboriú, with a climate-controlled and rotating cabin that ascends about 50 meters from the top of the hill where it is installed. The natural slope of the park projects the visitor above 200 meters, opening the horizon over the urban coastline and the beaches to the south, in a gentle turn that eliminates the need for additional movements.
For the public, the appeal lies in the continuous panorama of the city and coastline. The controlled rotation ensures that all seats have the same quality of view, without the need to change seats, which reduces internal queues and improves operational safety.
What is the Giro Tower and How Does It Integrate with the Park
The Giro Tower is a observation tower with a rotating cabin for 56 people, installed within the Unipraias Park.

He buried 1,200 old tires in the walls to build his own self-sufficient house in the mountains with glass bottles, rainwater, and an integrated greenhouse.
The system operates in vertical movement and simultaneous rotation, allowing 360º observation throughout the ascent, at the elevated level of the hill covered by the Atlantic Forest.
The experience was designed to complement the Unipraias cable car circuit, facilitating the logistics for visitors who already arrive at the platform via cabins.
The view includes the central area of Balneário Camboriú and the rugged beaches further south, forming a visual route that combines nature and skyline.
How the Experience Aboard Works
Boarding takes place in a climate-controlled environment, with fixed seats and instructions to remain seated throughout the journey.
The rotation is smooth and continuous, and the ascent maintains a steady pace so that landscape references can be clearly identified.
During the turn, points of interest such as the central coastline of Balneário Camboriú, the Barra neighborhood, and the axis of the Interpraias Highway emerge.
On clear days, Laranjeiras, Taquaras, Taquarinhas, Estaleiro, and Estaleirinho appear, as well as tourist boats like the pirate ship.
Tickets, Add-Ons, and Access Rules
To access the Giro Tower, it is essential to purchase the Unipraias ticket. According to the reference material consulted, the stated park price is R$ 80 full and R$ 40 half for people aged 60 and over and for PWD.
The Giro Tower is an add-on and, in the same material, costs R$ 45 for the specific ride.
The operational rules prioritize safety and flow. Everyone must remain seated during operation, standardizing weight distribution and reducing internal movements. Boarding and disembarking occur through distinct doors, speeding up the circulation of the next group.
What Can Be Seen from Above and Why the Angle Is Different
The visual impact of the attraction comes from the combination of the tower height and the hill elevation. The result is a viewing platform above 200 meters high, with 360º field of vision. The rotating cabin eliminates blind spots, which democratizes the experience for those in any row.
In addition to the coastal front of Balneário Camboriú, the rotation reaches the Serra do Mar and the valleys covered by the Atlantic Forest, creating a contrast between urban density and environmental protection.
Landmarks of the skyline, such as iconic residential towers, also form part of the picture, facilitating the spatial orientation of the visitor.
Comfort and Safety: What to Observe Before Boarding
The cabin is enclosed and climate-controlled, which minimizes discomfort from wind, heat, or passing fog. On days with high humidity, seats and flooring maintain grip, and the operation adopts technical stops when necessary for adjustment of rotation and boarding.
For a better experience, arrive early during peak times and follow the instructions of the staff and signage.
People with reduced mobility have organized access and marked seats, maintaining priority for safety on board.
Who Is It Worth It For and How to Plan the Visit
The Giro Tower is recommended for those seeking a complete view of Balneário Camboriú in a short time.
The ride pairs well with the cable car itinerary and other activities on the plateau, taking advantage of the journey already made to the top of the hill.
For photos and videos, prefer soft light times, such as early morning or late afternoon, when the contrast between sea and forest is more defined. On days with fog, the effect is different, but nonetheless the rotation allows visibility windows throughout the cycle.
The Giro Tower adds to Unipraias a unique viewpoint over Balneário Camboriú, with a rotating cabin, smooth operation, and integrated access to the park.
The proposal is technical and direct: to offer real 360º observation, with comfort and predictable flow.
Do you intend to visit the Giro Tower in Balneário Camboriú or do you prefer other viewpoints and trails in the region to see the city from above? What type of view do you seek the most on such a trip: urban coast, rugged beaches, or Atlantic Forest?
