Remote lagoons of Brazil
From £1,750 ppThis 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.

Pantanal + Amazon + Beach
From £4,000 ppIf 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.

Wild North Kite Adventure
From £2,500 ppThis 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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Talk to a Kitesurf travel expert — not a call centre.
Tell us your dates, your level and what a perfect week looks like. We'll come back with a shortlist of spots with the right conditions and the right hotel — usually within one working day.
