Getting there
Getting to Ilhabela
Short answer
The reference airport is Guarulhos International Airport (Governador André Franco Montoro) (GRU), in Guarulhos, about 195 km (121 mi) from Ilhabela. By car, it is 197 km (122 mi) from São Paulo, a 3h drive costing about R$ 132 in fuel and tolls.
Flying to Ilhabela
The reference airport is Guarulhos International Airport (Governador André Franco Montoro), with the code GRU, about 195 km away. From there you continue by car or bus to São Sebastião, and from there you cross by ferry, about 20 minutes, to the Vila of Ilhabela. São José dos Campos Airport (SJK) is closer, about 110 km away, but has few scheduled flights.
There is no bridge: the ferry leaves every 30 minutes from 5:30 a.m. to 11:30 p.m., and every hour in the early morning. From São Paulo to São Sebastião it is 197 km (about 3 hours) along the Rodovia dos Tamoios, and from Ubatuba, 73 km (about 1.5 hours) along the Rio-Santos highway. In high season you can book your crossing at least 2 hours ahead to avoid a good part of the wait.
Routes and airlines change often; the safest approach is to check them when you plan your trip.
