Kite Adventures prides itself on the local knowledge and kiting experience our guides have. We have personally traveled to each location and tested the waters, so we know the best spots for various wind directions and conditions. Kite Adventures tours are all-inclusive: you can leave your worries behind and maximize your time on the water. We're hooked in with the local scenes, as well as some of the top rated hotels in the areas we visit.
Sure it's easy to rent a 4x4 or hire a truck company and be "toured" around the areas, but will they help you with a broken kite line, when you're having trouble with the language, when you're your being charged "Gringo" prices? We are there to be part of your experience, to show you areas you never could find on your own. We want you to come down and feel like a part of the Kite Adventures family, and spend each new day exploring different and exciting kite locations around the world.
As kiteboarders, we all know what it's like to chase the wind. While you're with us, we want you to do as little chasing and as much riding as possible. We also have specific beginner tours and activities, so those of you who want to bring a non-kiting friend or companion, can feel at ease while you are out riding.
The wind blows (18-25+ knots) EVERYDAY from July-January so you won't get skunked out of kiting!
Air and water temps are a mild 80-85 degrees, so you can leave your wetsuits at home!
Brazil is a top destination for a variety of reasons. Kiting, however is the newest. With constant wind (18-30+ knots) from July through January, it really is a kiters' paradise.
Our 7- Day tours begin after the airport pick up, we take you kiting in 4x4s on the beach through Cumbuco and Paracuru. Cumbuco is a hip little fishing village that's famous for the Cauipe lagoon. From there, we downwind to Paracuru which is the best spot for flat water, waves, and consistent wind. After 3 days, we take you back to Cumbuco befor departing for the airport the next day.
We design our tours so it's the perfect combination of kiting, nightlife, and as much sun as you can handle! By the end of the trip, you're one of the Kite Adventures crew. We share stories, photos and friendships from the beginning of the tour through months after. Just look at what our clients say below...

Below see what some of our kiters have said about us:
"This was the best kiteboarding trip I've ever been on; that's why I'm coming back again and again!
- Pro-Kiteboarder, Dimitri Maramenides, NC
"Your 10 day Kite adventure downwinder was literally one of the best trips ever, I'm hesitant to give it such accolades as I don't want to be shut out (due to the popularity it deserves) when I book it again next year. I really appreciate how hard you all worked to make it exceptional."
- Chad Nichols, CA
"The trip is amazing, the wind was great every day, food delicious, and Alberto Rocks. Topping off the trip for me was getting in 60k of downwinding one day. Alberto knows just the right amount of coordination without mothering. Would I do it again? Of course! Next time for longer. I just spent the last two days recovering from so much kite surfing. I've never been happier taking some time off from kiting than after this trip. Thoroughly worn out. Alberto definitely makes the trip since he seems to know everyone. Highly recommending this to every kiter I know."
- Eric Due, CA
"I just got back from a Kite Adventure in Brazil. Book this trip, it is worth every effort! I have been to DR, PR, MX, HI, etc. Nothing can compare to the conditions and variety of spots we had in Brazil. Flat, freshwater lagoons, side-on head high waves, freeride, freestyle, touring. The food, the people, this is the only destination of the sort. Send IT!"
-Byron Cleary, CA
Kite Adventures gives you a rare opportiunity to see and kite along parts of the northeast coast that you would never get to experience if traveling by bus or on your own. The tour allows you to completely relax and enjoy your time in Brasil. There are none of the typical worries or headaches that go along with unassisted third world travel - missed buses, flakey tour guides, exorbitant "tourist" prices, eight people telling you eight different things. The nice thing about Kite Adventures is that it is all inclusive and it is chill - I can't think of a better way to maximize your Brasilian kitesurfing experience.
-Nick Smith, WA
"The world's only kite trip of 1 worry. You don't have to worry about hotels, transportation, food, getting lost, dealing with the locals, finding secret kitespots, or wondering who will pick you up after an epic 10km downwinder. Your 1 and only worry is keeping your lines straight. Have fun."
- Tom Reilly, CA
"I am still seriously "decompressing" and can't get motivated enough to do anything but think about what an absolutely INCREDIBLE time I had. Everything about Brazil: the tour, the crew, the locals, the food, the women, Jeri, and last but not least the KITING, has exceeded my expectations tenfold."
- Chris Kadyszewski, PA
