Atins Kitesurf Holiday

Atins is located at the mouth of the River Preguica, sandwiched between a massive Delta region to the South, and a huge National Park of Sand Dunes to the North (Lençóis Maranhenses). The river's winding path forms shifting sandbanks and shallow lagoons. and with it, some of the most dramatic flat water kitesurf conditions to be found anywhere on the Planet. The region is famous for its super consistent strong wind (but perhaps not super strong as in some parts of Northern Brazil), making it an ideal spot for kiteboarding. But Atins has something extra special to offer! The enchanting Lençóis Maranhenses, a one-of-a-kind landscape blending white sand dunes with abundant underground water sources creating kitesurf lagoons right in the heart of the sand dunes (best from June to October).

The range of accommodation in Atin has historically been quite rustic and simple, but as of 2023, Planet Kitesurf can now offer an additional super luxury small hotel option.

To get the most from your Brazil experience we suggest adding additional kitesurf region, in combination with a day's travel through the Delta. Please speak to one of our Brazil experts about putting together the perfect Brazil kitesurf holiday itinerary.

Suggested tour Remote lagoons of Brazil

Remote lagoons of Brazil

From £1,750 pp

This tour takes you well off the beaten track, up the wild north-east coast in your own 4x4 — part tarmac, part sand — to three of the country's best and least-visited flat-water spots. You start on the huge, glassy lagoon at Ilha do Guajiru, riding whatever the tide is doing. Then you push on to Barra dos Remédios, wild and remote, where a small lodge sits right by a river mouth and the only traffic is the wind. You finish at Tatajuba, one of the largest river-mouth lagoons in Brazil, where we time your sessions to the tides so you're on the water when it's firing. Empty spots, warm water, big skies, and riding you'll still be talking about years later — with the driving, the logistics and the tides all handled for you. And it's a suggested itinerary, not a fixed one: we'll tailor every part of it — budget, duration, how far you go and the standard of lodge — around exactly what you're after.

Suggested tour Best of Northern Brazil - Luxury

Best of Northern Brazil - Luxury

From £3,590 pp

A luxury kitesurfing journey along Brazil’s northern coast, combining remote, wind-perfect locations with high-end boutique stays.

It blends raw, off-the-grid adventure with comfort and carefully selected luxury throughout.

Suggested tour Pantanal + Amazon + Beach

Pantanal + Amazon + Beach

From £4,000 pp

If you want to experience the very best of Brazil’s wildlife and natural landscapes, combining the Pantanal with the Amazon is an ideal choice. The Pantanal is the country’s top location for spotting jaguars, while the Amazon offers an extraordinary immersion into the world’s largest tropical rainforest. Spending around three nights in each region gives you enough time to enjoy their highlights, with the necessary overnight stops in Manaus on either side of your Amazon tour. After exploring the inland wilderness, we can take you to one of several windy coastal areas in northern Brazil. For this itinerary, we recommend Icaraizinho, a charming seaside village that offers excellent Wingfoiling, Kitesurfing and Windsurfing all in one easy, relaxed location.

Suggested tour Gostoso + Barra Do Cunhau + Fernando de Noronhaa + Rio

Gostoso + Barra Do Cunhau + Fernando de Noronhaa + Rio

From £4,000 pp

This exceptional suggested tour combines Gostoso Windsurf, Kitesurf and Wingfoil resort (or any of our coastal resorts) with a few days on the little-known Fernando de Noronha island (a protected volcanic archipelago of 21 islands and islets off the northeastern coast of Brazil) and the iconic city of Rio.

Suggested tour lha do Guajiru Lagoon PLUS Prea

lha do Guajiru Lagoon PLUS Prea

From £1,950 pp

If you only have 10 days and want to keep your Brazil itinerary relatively simple, this tour combines some of the best flat water kite lagoons of Isle De Guajiru with the vibrant Prea resort, just 1 hour away.

Suggested tour Wild North Kite Adventure

Wild North Kite Adventure

From £2,500 pp

This unusual and unique tour takes you to Brazil's wild and beautiful North. As you move North along the coast of Ceara state, where the better-known kitesurf resorts are (such as Prea and Jericoacoara), and into Piaui and Maranhao States, the infrastructure becomes more scarce, and the coastline becomes wild. Travelling in this area typically involved 4x4 driving along wild deserted beaches, traversing estuaries and taking small, locally run make-shift ferry crossings. Travelling becomes more of an experience and less of something to endure. The kitesurfing in this area is uncrowded and breathtaking! It is some of the most dramatic and extraordinary kiting on the Planet.

Booking Atins with us

We lose sleep so you don’t.

We take every booking personally. Anything that doesn’t look right, anything that needs chasing — we’re the ones awake worrying about it, so you’re not.

01

Your money goes into trust

Not into our bank account. It sits with an independent trustee and is only released after you have travelled. If we stopped trading tomorrow it would still be there, and it would come back to you.

02

We book it all, and then check it

Flights, transfers, the room you actually chose, your lessons. Confirmed before you fly, not arranged when you land. We don’t book the cheapest transfer — drivers who turn up and speak English.

03

We call you before you go

Documents, visas, kit, anything you’re unsure about. A real conversation with the person who booked it, not an automated reminder.

04

We’re on WhatsApp the whole time you’re away

Any hour, any country. Flight moved, room not right, lessons cancelled for weather — one number, answered by someone who already knows your booking.

No obligation. We’ll come back with a full itinerary and a price.
