Where is Morro de São Paulo?

MSP is 63km from the city of Salvador, Bahia. I'll tell you: it is part of the Ilha de Tinharé and the archipelago municipality of Cairu (which also includes the tourist attractions Garapuá, Boipeba and Gamboa do Morro). This little point to the right of the Ilha de Tinharé is where our paradise is:

How to get to Morro de São Paulo?

Of course, the Ilha Bela TM takes you! Firstly you must buy your ticket. Take a look at our online store, choose the desired date/time for your trip, enter your email and name, make the payment and that's it! The voucher will arrive in your email to be used on the day of boarding. You can leave the rest to us 😀

Daily our catamarans make direct sea crossings between Salvador and Morro de São Paulo. The journey takes between 2h and 2h30min. We depart from Terminal Turístico Náutico da Bahia (in the Comércio neighborhood, at Salvador) and dock at the pier at Morro de São Paulo. However, it is worth noting that although our focus is direct catamaran transport, on days when there is some impediment to making the sea crossing, we operate with the semi-terrestrial system (more details in our post), but don't worry, we will always take care of everything for you. It’s no wonder that for over 20 years our slogan has been “the certainty of coming and going” ;P

Why go for Morro de São Paulo?

This destination, specifically, captivates many tourists due to its natural beauty, proximity to the capital and pluralism. Morro is dynamic and presents options for all types of itinerary. It's a growing tourist attraction that has been gaining ground since the 70s. You can't help but fall in love with it!

What is the best beach in Morro de São Paulo?

Surprisingly, the best answer is: it depends. That's because Morro de São Paulo has beaches for all tastes, whether your preference is for a popular beach or a more deserted beach, in MSP you'll find what you're looking for. From now on, Marujo recommends going through them all, from 1st to 5th. Following your interests, there will certainly be no shortage of options to enjoy your trip with moments that you will miss.

Where to pick up catamaran for Morro de São Paulo?

Our boats leave from Terminal Turístico Náutico da Bahia, in the Comércio neighborhood, in front of the famous Mercado Modelo and under the gaze of the iconic Lacerda elevator. In other words, by arriving early you can still take the opportunity to take photos of some of the main tourist attractions in Salvador. In addition, you will also find our physical ticket store there. We recommend arriving 30 minutes before boarding for check-in.

Firstly, we hope to have answered some or the main questions of yours. However, if there is still something missing, leave your question in our comments. It will be a pleasure to help you plan your trip to MSP. Who knows, maybe a part 2 of the post? ;P
