How to get to Itacaré? You have to go from Salvador airport to the São Joaquim ferry terminal. The trip takes about 40 minutes. At the São Joaquim ferry terminal, you will take the crossing and board ferry boat catamaran that makes the crossing in 1 hour to the island of Itaparica. When you arrive at the Bom Despacho ferry terminal in Itaparica, you will disembark and inside the terminal there is a small bus station (called Bom Despacho) where the buses that go to the cities in the south of Bahia are parked. One of these buses runs between Bom Despacho bus station and Itacaré bus station. To return from Itacaré to Salvador, the route is reversed.

Is there a private transfer between Salvador Airport and Itacaré? Yes, Bahia Transfer e Turismo offers private ground transfers to Itacaré. In this option, our operators take passengers from Salvador Airport (or any other point in the city) to their hostel or hotel in Itacaré. If there are no obstacles on the road (such as construction), this transfer can take up to an hour less. It is more comfortable, but also more expensive. However, taking into account the price differences between plane tickets to Ilhéus and Salvador, the cost of a private transfer may be worth it (especially for large groups of passengers).
From the first moment I contacted them, they were always available and very serious about what they do. I hired them for all my transfers, including to Morro de Sao Paulo. Congratulations, and don't hesitate to hire them—punctuality and quality!
The experience of booking the two-legged (semi-highway) and return (ferry) journey between Salvador de Bahia Airport and Morro de São Paulo through Bahia Transfer e Turismo was spectacular. We hope everything goes smoothly when I arrive next August. The payment method, both with credit card and PIX, works perfectly. They send you a QR code that instantly confirms your payment, and your voucher is sent to you by email shortly after.
From beginning to finish, an outstanding service! We took their transfer to do Salvador - Itacaré - Salvador. The communication via WhatsApp and email was incredible; keeping us posted in advance. Where they truly stranded out was when we had some delays and couldn’t get on time for our taxi and they have rearranged a new pick up for us very smoothly. Would highly recommend using their service for a peaceful experience!
Highly recommended! Very professional service. They were punctual, brought all the necessary safety equipment, and drove very carefully on both legs of the journey.
Excellent service and VERY DETAILED information, without lying or hiding anything. Same price as everywhere else (but they clarify what's included and what's not). They have all the schedules and options available for going to Morro. They're simply the best, don't look any further.
Very good service. Prompt answer to customer's needs. Safe and skillful drivers. I suggest to double check on baggage capacity of the asigned vehicles. I recommend the service.
We used Bahia Transfer to organize our entire journey from the airport, including taxi transfers, the ferry crossing, and the bus transfer from Bom Despacho to Itacaré – and everything worked perfectly, both on the way there and on the way back.
Communication was always fast and reliable via WhatsApp, which made the whole process very easy and reassuring. All transfers were punctual, well coordinated, and comfortable, even though the route involved several different modes of transport.
You could really tell that the team knows the region well and takes care of every detail. We never had to worry about connections or timing.
Highly recommended for anyone traveling in Bahia who wants a smooth, professional, and well-organized transfer experience. We would definitely book again!
We paid for the full service from Salvador Airport to Morro de São Paulo. We got off to a bad start, with a 40-minute delay. On the way back, we were informed that the service would be changed to the land-sea service (a cheaper service), which would increase the transfer time. Additionally, we were charged a fee for using the dock (supposedly, you pay for the full service, including taxes). To top it all off, the new service was delayed by five hours, compared to the 2.5-hour transfer we had booked.
I do not recommend this service at all; the operator's responses were also unsatisfactory.
100% recommendable! I hired them from Argentina, and in addition to being punctual, attentive, and very reliable, the price is 30-40% lower than other companies I've checked out! I will definitely choose them again!
We arranged all the transfers from the airport to the hotels and to Morro de São Paulo, and the experience was excellent. I recommend arranging this type of service in Salvador; it's not a city for improvisation.
Fabulous!!! Extraordinary!!! I always book tickets with this company. This time, I made a mistake on the ticket date. I contacted them via WhatsApp, explained my situation, requested a date change, and in just a minute or less, they sent me a new voucher with the new date. INCREDIBLE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Excellent! We hire the transfer service from the airport to the hotel and vice versa. When we arrived, Fernando was waiting for us, who was very cordial. On the way back they were very punctual when picking us up. Impeccable and comfortable vehicles. Highly recommended and with an excellent price (better than what we saw on other pages and what the hotel offered us).
I would like to share my first experience with the catamaran, excellent crossing, comfortable, now I won't cross again unless I'm on a catamaran, congratulations to everyone involved, the crossing is perfect!
Fast and courteous service, the service was provided by Carlos Eduardo who made it quick for my mother, my fiancé and I, ensuring that we arrived in time for our flight, but as we were staying a day earlier in Salvador, he made it quick for the van driver to drop us off at the hotel.
Excellent attention from the entire company, mainly from Carlos Eduardo. I have purchased transfers in February 2020 and due to the global Covid issue I suspended it. After years, September 2024, I decided to travel to Morro do Sau Pablo and they have recognized my credit in full. I fully recommend Bahia Transfer e Turismo. Very grateful....
Marcela from Argentina.
Excellent Service and I always found it easy and accessible to hire them from Argentina. I have traveled with them on several occasions. Super recommended.
Excellent service. Punctuality and waiting. Car in perfect condition. Everything as agreed by email. Ease of doing everything online without problems. Highly recommended.
Through the agency, I bought the ferry tickets to Morro de Sao Pablo, the attention was immediate, there was no space for the time I needed to travel, they quickly offered me other options and in less than half an hour I had everything resolved. Very expeditious
I looked for it on Chat GPT and it didn't fail me. Everything is excellent. Serious. Compliant. Communication is a luxury. They respond by email and WhatsApp almost immediately. The exact times. And top-notch service. I recommend it to my friends who go to Brazil. Thank you Carvahlo for your attention!!!!!! Congratulations on the level of the company.
