Why you'll love Ilha Do Guajiru

Why you'll love kitesurfing in Ilha Do Guajiru!

Ilha Do Guajiru

There are so many amazing kitesurf spots around Brazil, most of them amazing in one way or another, whether it be beautiful accommodations, huge kite lagoons, wave spots, great places to eat, Wing Foiling, and high-standard professional kite schools. However, it is very hard to find all these things in one place, making Ilha Do Guajiru such a unique place for the ultimate all-around Brazilian kitesurf holiday. The resort works really well for solo travellers, couples or families, although the choice of accommodation is essential.

Here is Ilha Do Guajiru the first thing you notice is the stunning flat water lagoon created by a massive sand bar; this is an excellent flat water spot. There are some small gusty sections, and at very low tides, it is necessary to kitesurf just outside the lagoon (or over the sand bar into the open sea), but on the whole, the kiting area is great with lots of space. As well as this, there are 3 other super flat water lagoons a short drive away, or you can visit some as part of a downwinder. There is also one trip here where you can kitesurf in a river estuary amongst a mangrove forest - an incredible experience. Ilha Do Guajiru is one of Brazil's best all-around kitesurfing spots, and maybe even in the world!

Other than amazing kitesurfing, there is also amazing food, both in our recommended properties and outside. Just behind the main Lagoons beach, there are a number of superb restaurants and small bars, but all quite relaxed - this is not a party town, but it does have a great ‘vibe’.

It is definitely possible to spend 7-10 days (or longer) here without getting bored. Still, Brazil has so many amazing and very special spots, so we do recommend combining a stay here with one to two other locations as part of your trip, if time allows. Speaking to one of the Brazil kitesurf holiday specialists is always best. We have extensive first-hand knowledge of the majority of kitesurf locations in Brazil, as well as other interesting places such as the stunning Parnaíba Delta, the Amazon, the Pantanal wetlands and the cities of Rio and São Paulo. We can construct personalised, tailor-made itineraries to ensure you get the most out of your Brazil experience. Brazil can be a complex destination to understand and requires good planning, the use of experienced off-road drivers with the correct permits, and it is very important to get the correct accommodation.

Suggested tour Pantanal + Amazon + Beach

Pantanal + Amazon + Beach

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 Wild North Kite Adventure

Wild North Kite Adventure

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.
