Pantanal + Amazon + Beach
From £4,000 ppIf you want to experience the very best of Brazil’s wildlife and natural landscapes, combining the Pantanal with the Amazon is an ideal choice. The Pantanal is the country’s top location for spotting jaguars, while the Amazon offers an extraordinary immersion into the world’s largest tropical rainforest. Spending around three nights in each region gives you enough time to enjoy their highlights, with the necessary overnight stops in Manaus on either side of your Amazon tour. After exploring the inland wilderness, we can take you to one of several windy coastal areas in northern Brazil. For this itinerary, we recommend Icaraizinho, a charming seaside village that offers excellent Wingfoiling, Kitesurfing and Windsurfing all in one easy, relaxed location.

Northern Brazil - Jericoacoara + Maceio + Parnaíba Delta + Atins
From £2,495 ppNorthern Brazil is where the wind blows almost every day and the coast never stops changing. Over sixteen days this tour links four of the northeast's best riding spots, from Jericoacoara, the windsurfing and wing foiling capital of Brazil, west through Maceió and the wild Parnaíba Delta to the flat-water lagoons of Atins. Partway through, the Parnaíba Delta breaks up the riding with something extraordinary off the water: a rare open-sea delta of more than 75 islands, freshwater lagoons and mangroves, alive with scarlet ibises, caimans and capybaras and best seen on a sunset boat trip. The tour finishes with the ultimate experience of Atins and the Lençóis Maranhenses.

We take every booking personally. Anything that doesn’t look right, anything that needs chasing — we’re the ones awake worrying about it, so you’re not.
Your money goes into trust
Not into our bank account. It sits with an independent trustee and is only released after you have travelled. If we stopped trading tomorrow it would still be there, and it would come back to you.
We book it all, and then check it
Flights, transfers, the room you actually chose, your lessons. Confirmed before you fly, not arranged when you land. We don’t book the cheapest transfer — drivers who turn up and speak English.
We call you before you go
Documents, visas, kit, anything you’re unsure about. A real conversation with the person who booked it, not an automated reminder.
We’re on WhatsApp the whole time you’re away
Any hour, any country. Flight moved, room not right, lessons cancelled for weather — one number, answered by someone who already knows your booking.
Talk to a Wingfoil travel expert — not a call centre.
Tell us your dates, your level and what a perfect week looks like. We'll come back with a shortlist of spots with the right conditions and the right hotel — usually within one working day.
