Flying to Morro de São Paulo

The gateway from abroad is Salvador International Airport (SSA), about 30 km from the maritime terminal in Salvador, where the catamaran to Morro de São Paulo departs (about 2 hours 15 minutes). There is also an air taxi from the airport itself, with a flight of about 25 minutes to the island.

Another option is to arrive through Valença, on the mainland, and take a motorboat or a schooner for between 30 and 90 minutes. Since there are no cars on the island, anyone arriving overland leaves the car in a parking lot on the mainland.

The routes and airlines that fly into Salvador from each country change often; the safest approach is to check them when planning your trip.
