TESTIMONIALS

Hear It from Our Riders

Our kids did a few hours of kiting with Atins Kite Boarding during our recent trip to Atins. The experience exceeded all expectations. Instructors speak perfect English, have international experience, are very accommodating, safety oriented and informative. Our kids absolutely loved the experience and picked up kiting very quickly. In fact what started as an idea to just do an hour or two of learning to control the kite turned into an amazing day that our kids will remember forever. We all loved the energy and professionalism of the Instructors and their willingness to offer extra time and explanations. Also worth mentioning is a high quality equipment, logistics made easy and just absolutely flawless execution throughout the entire day. We only wish we had more time in Atins! Two thumbs up.

It was an incredible experience. The course was extremely well structured, as learning divided into various stages, which greatly facilitated the assimilation of techniques and concepts. Atins is an optimal place to learn kiteboarding, with constant winds that greatly facilitate the learning process. Also, the school takes us to a beach bank to learn, along with boats and bathers, providing a safe and quiet environment for practice. I strongly recommend doing at least 6 hours of private classes for enough time to learn these stages calmly. Not general, the course was excellent. The progressive methodology and attention to safety details make everything different. We owe much to the instructors Pedro and Kelly, who are extremely educational, patient and will pass us very safely during the process.

When you arrive to start with its breathtakingly beautiful, and after a few days you come to love this little village which gives a rare chance to disconnect from the world and live in peace and harmony with nature for a while. About the Kite School - absolutely perfect. Pedro, Igor and the team work so hard to make sure you have fun, new adventures, feel part of the family and improve on your kite skills. They share their love for the place, the people and the sport, and they use their deep knowledge of the area and the conditions to make sure everything is just right and so that everything is both exciting and safe - I definitely felt completely secure with them looking after me, that meant I was able to improve my skills a lot. I particularly appreciated how easy it was to communicate with them before I arrived and be able to make plans in advance so not to waste any days.

FROM THE NEAREST AIRPORT OF SÃO LUÍS (SLZ)

The easiest way is to schedule a private taxi from the airport to the port of Barreirinhas and book a private speedboat from Barreirinhas to Atins.

There are other possibilities of public transportation that significantly lengthen the duration of the transfer.

FROM JERICOACOARA OR FORTALEZA AIRPORT (FOR)

It is possible to transit from Fortaleza airport by 4×4 to Caburé, via Paulino Neves. In Caburé, you will have to take a boat to reach Atins on the other side of the river. Many people enjoy this long journey to visit and kitesurf in other places alongside the coast.

Our recommendation is to use the transfers services offered by our partner Pousada Muita Paz for comfort, safety and convenience: muitapaz.atins@gmail.com
