Tour Highlights

Ilha do Guajiru

There are so many amazing kitesurf spots around Brazil, most of them amazing in one way or the other, 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 and this is what makes 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 accommodation choice is important. 

Here is Ilha Do Guajiru the first thing you notice is the stunning flat water lagoon that is created by a massive sand bar; this is an amazing 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 the best all-around kitesurfing spots in Brasil, and maybe even in the world!

Other than amazing kitesurfing, there is also amazing food, both in our recommended properties, as well as 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, but 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. It is always best to speak to one of the Brazil kitesurf holiday specialists. 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 Sao 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.

Tatajuba

Tatajuba in Nothern Brazil is a secret hideaway where you can reconnect with nature and in an astonishing location that will work on your soul. Here you can live according to the rhythm of nature with high and low tide and the wind determining your daily activities. Tatajuba is known for its fantastic sunsets and beautiful night sky which is full of stars. Tatajuba is the jewel of Brasil, still untouched with white sandy beaches, and sunny warm weather which lasts the whole year. Amazing nightlife is also available close by in Jericoacoara.

Barra Grande (Macapa)

Barra Grande is one of the best kitesurf destinations in Brazil for those looking to kitesurf directly from their accommodation, in a large flat water spot, with a choice of a good restaurant to eat out close by. This makes it a great location for all types of kitesurf holiday, including a family kitesurf holiday. The kitesurf and wing foiling school here is especially good and very professional.

Barra Grande, located in the state of Piauí, has been a renowned kiteboarding destination in South America for many years but is less known by Europeans, although this is now changing. The closest airport is Jericoacoara (around 2.5 hours away). Barra Grande works really well in combination with Atins or Prea, also really outstanding kitesurf resorts. 

Main Kite Spot - Directly from the main beach there is a large flat water area with lots of space for those learning to kitesurf. A little upwind to the right there is a sand bar fringed with Oysters - this makes the water downwind very flat, but the sharp Oysters should be avoided 

Macapa - A short distance upwind, approximately 2 kilometers from the beach, there exists a rocky bank that acts as a natural barrier, shielding the spot from excessively large waves. Consequently, during low tide, you can expect mostly very flat water, but as the tide rises, it can get choppier. Thanks to the bay's shallow water and the side-onshore wind from the right, this is a great place for those learning to kitesurf.

One of the main attractions in Barra Grande is incredible the flatwater lagoon and river estuary at Macapa Beach, located 2 kilometers downwind. You can kite here in the river mouth at any times, but there is also a massive lagoon that fills up with the incoming tide. This is a perfect playground for freestyle kiteboarding amidst several sandbanks and butter flat water.
