  • Private Transfer (~5-6 hours)
    Book a private transfer from Fortaleza Airport directly to Tatajuba. A 4×4 vehicle is required for the final stretch, which involves crossing sandy roads and dunes. This option offers door-to-door service and flexibility in departure times and is the most comfortable and direct.
  • Shared Shuttle to Jericoacoara + 4×4 to Tatajuba (~6-7 hours)
    Take a shared shuttle from Fortaleza to Jericoacoara (about 5 hours). From Jericoacoara, hire a 4×4 vehicle or join a buggy tour to Tatajuba, which takes an additional 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Rental Car (~5-6 hours)
    Rent a 4×4 vehicle at Fortaleza Airport if you prefer driving. The drive to Tatajuba is around 340 km, with the last stretch requiring off-road capability. Note that regular cars may struggle with the sandy roads, so a 4×4 is essential.
  • Bus to Jericoacoara + Local Transport to Tatajuba (~7-8 hours)
    Take a bus from Fortaleza to Jericoacoara (around 7 hours) and then arrange local transportation (a 4×4 or buggy) to Tatajuba. This is the most economical option but involves multiple transfers and a longer journey.

Tatajuba is a remote and tranquil location, so plan your trip in advance, especially during peak kitesurfing season.

  • Buggy & 4×4 Rentals: The best way to reach kite spots, lagoons, and remote areas. Suitable for sand dunes and off-road terrain. Available for hourly or daily rental, often included in guided tours.
  • Motorbike & Bicycle Rentals: Good for moving between accommodations, small shops, and beach access points. Some guesthouses offer rentals.
  • Taxis & Private Transfers: Reliable for trips to and from Jericoacoara or other nearby areas. Best arranged through hotels or local drivers.
  • Walking: The village is small, and some accommodations are close to the beach, but other transport is needed for reaching different spots.
  • No Public Transport for Spot-Hopping – Buses only connect to larger towns, not useful for moving between kite spots.
