How to get to Icaraizinho de Amontada from Fortaleza
Icaraizinho de Amontada is on the coast of Ceará, and most Cabana do Kite students arrive through the state capital, Fortaleza: about 200 km, roughly 3 hours by car. This page gathers what to arrange before you travel, when to come and what to expect when you reach the school.
What to arrange before you travel
- Dates and level: send your dates and your kite or wing level on WhatsApp so we can book the right instructor.
- Lesson format: private or duo lessons, hour package, coaching or downwinder — the school builds the programme with you.
- Accommodation: Pousada País Tropical, the school's partner, is a few minutes' walk from the Cabana; we can book it together with your lessons.
Prices are on request: we reply on WhatsApp with a proposal and confirm everything with you before the trip.
When to arrive
The wind season runs from July to January, peaking from August to October. For your first lessons, 18 to 22 knots is ideal — July, early August and November are usually gentler. September and October bring stronger wind, better for riders who already jump. From February to June the wind is irregular.
The water stays 28 to 30 °C throughout the season, so no wetsuit is needed. The season guide breaks it down month by month.
Arriving at the Cabana
Cabana do Kite is at Av. Dep. Roberto Mesquita, Icaraí, Amontada - CE, 62545-000, right on the sand of Icaraizinho beach. We open daily, 9 am – 6 pm — that is where the kitesurf school, the storage, the restaurant and the beach bar are.
The phone number is +55 88 98152-1670, the same as WhatsApp. If anything is unclear on the way, send a message: someone from the team will answer.
Once you are here
You can cross the village on foot. From the Cabana you have the main beach in front of you and the beginners' lagoon next door; the downwinders from Icaraizinho leave from here. The guide to kitesurfing in Brazil and the spot comparison help plan the rest of the trip.
