How do I get to Barra Grande from the airport?
We collect you at Ilhéus or Salvador airport. Depending on your accommodation and arrival time, the route can combine a car to Camamu with a boat to Barra Grande, or use the peninsula’s road access. Any travel beyond Barra Grande pier is planned around your guesthouse and detailed in your quote.
What is the boat crossing like?
Our team reserves your departure and issues your tickets in advance, directly with partner operators in Camamu, at the exact published crossing fare, with no booking fee or markup. Once your reservation is confirmed and tickets are issued, your places are reserved: there is no ticket-counter queue and no need to find space on a fully booked boat. The ticket cost is itemised in your quote, rather than offered as a package benefit. Departures remain subject to operating and navigation conditions.
Which airport should I fly into, Ilhéus or Salvador?
Consider the whole journey, not just the flight price. Landing time, boat connections and your accommodation all affect the route from Ilhéus or Salvador. Send us the flights you are considering and we can help compare transfer options before you choose.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
Let our team know as soon as your plans change. We review the meeting point and connections and explain how to continue. If a crossing is involved, alternatives depend on the time and availability that day.
How much does the transfer cost?
Your departure point, accommodation, date and group size affect the price, along with luggage and vehicle requirements. Ask for a quote on WhatsApp to see the route, price and inclusions.
What is included in the transfer?
The car journey is private for your group. For travel via Camamu, your quote specifies the boat type, tickets, assistance and transport beyond the pier included in the proposal. You can choose knowing which stages you are booking.
Do you take us all the way to the guesthouse?
We plan your arrival at your accommodation, including travel beyond the pier when your route involves a boat. Your guesthouse name helps us choose the right access. If the vehicle cannot reach the door, you will know the drop-off point when you book.
Can I bring a surfboard?
Include your boards in the transfer request so we can choose a vehicle with enough space. Send the number and size of the boards. If your route includes a boat, the team also checks arrangements for that part of the journey.
How much luggage fits?
We choose the vehicle around your group and bags. Surfboards, pushchairs and bulky items need to be included in that choice; send dimensions or a photo so we can assess the space. Luggage capacity may also differ on the boat leg.
Do you provide child seats?
Children need a comfortable journey too. Tell us their ages when requesting your transfer. The team checks the availability of a suitable child seat or booster for the route and includes this in the travel plan.
How does payment work?
Your quote sets out the price, payment methods and conditions for securing the booking. It also explains which parts of the journey are included, so you can review the complete service before deciding.
Can I change or cancel?
Yes, and the earlier you tell us the easier it is. Flight, date and time changes happen constantly and we reorganise without fuss whenever there is notice. Applicable legal rights are respected; after that period the 20% reservation fee is non-refundable, because the vehicle and driver have already been held for you. If your flight moves, message us as soon as you know — most of the time we simply shift the pickup time at no cost.
Does the driver speak English?
If you would prefer an English-speaking driver, ask for this in your quote request. The team checks availability and agrees the language arrangements when you book.
What is the road onto the peninsula like?
The Maraú Peninsula has dirt and sandy access roads that can change considerably after rain. The best route and vehicle depend on your accommodation and conditions at the time of travel. Our team helps you choose, so you know how you will reach your destination.
How do I reach Taipu de Fora?
Taipu de Fora is in another part of the Maraú Peninsula. If you arrive by boat at Barra Grande pier, there is still a road journey to your guesthouse. We can include that leg in your transfer. If you travel overland from the airport, the route is planned around your address in Taipu de Fora.
How will I find my driver at the airport?
Our team welcomes you with an identification sign at the agreed meeting point. Before you travel, you receive instructions to recognise your pickup and continue to your transfer.
