Sleep
During our Baleia Kitecamps you’ll stay in a beautiful pousada right at the kitespot. Cool off in the pool, relax in hammocks and lounge areas, and enjoy comfortable rooms with everything you need. The vibe here is laid-back and easy-going: roll from breakfast straight to the beach and wrap up the day with a drink by the pool. The perfect mix of kiting, chilling, and sharing good times with the group.

What makes Baleia so unique is that it’s still an undiscovered bay in Brazil. Leave the crowds of Cumbuco behind and arrive in a small fishing village with epic kite conditions and… Rafa’s secret lagoon! Eat.Sleep.Kite.Repeat.
Weather & Wind
In Baleia you can pretty much rely on the wind with your eyes closed. From July to January the famous Alísios trade winds blow here. This thermal wind is powered up every day by the temperature difference between land and sea: calm in the morning, pumping from lunchtime, and often super steady until sunset. That’s why Baleia is one of the most wind-secure kitesurf spots in the world – sessions are almost guaranteed.
The water is warm all year round, so you can ride in just boardshorts or a bikini. But don’t underestimate the sun: in Brazil it’s strong and high, especially during long kite days. A lycra isn’t a luxury – it’s a must.
Pro Tip: grab one from KiteActive and you’ll be protected and stylish on the water during your kitesurf holiday Brazil.

First time travelling with KiteActive to Sicily. I’ve had a really great time. Even if i can kite already and do some tricks here and there, the instructors gave some nice tips and newer tricks to practice on. The kitespots were spot on!
On no-wind days there was always something organized, wakeboarding behind the boat, another boat trip and snorkeling, going to an old city, etcetera, and you also have the freedom to explore at your own pace.
You’re also not alone, staying with an collected group at the place which makes it more pleasant!
Thanks again KiteActive for the amazing stay!!

Just back from the Wadden Weekend Kite Trip with KiteActive, and wow, what an awesome weekend! 🌊🪁
Everything was super well arranged, the food was absolutely amazing, and the vibes were super chill. We had great wind conditions, and the progression sessions were epic.
What really stood out was how much time the guys took to explain things and help us push our kiting skills further. You could really feel they wanted to see everyone progress, and that made it even more fun and motivating.
Great people, great vibes, good food, good wind, can’t ask for more. Already looking forward to the next one!

Amazing! Great people, chill vibe and the best instructors 🫶

Yallah habibi, what an epic week this was! Just got back from Egypt after my second kite holiday with KiteActive — and once again, absolutely worth repeating!
The spot is amazing: you can walk straight from your hotel room onto the (kite) beach. The collaboration with Kitelagoon Hurghada was top-notch — we were fully taken care of (pumping kites, launching and landing, chill tunes on the beach, warm tea during breaks). Everything was perfectly arranged by KiteActive as well — from a group chat and quick replies to any questions, to thinking along about boardbags and capturing awesome (action) shots!
We also had such a fun group (which of course KiteActive can’t fully control), but it made the week even better. On the — luckily only two — windless days, we went wakeboarding, snorkeling, and just enjoyed the resort to the fullest. Under the always cheerful (and super experienced) supervision of Roderick, this week was not only super fun but also incredibly educational — what a legend he is!
Beginner or advanced: I recommend going on a trip with KiteActive to everyone — you won’t regret it 🙂 Let’s go!

Top locations — I’ve joined trips to Brazil and Rhodes! Everything was super well organized, with a chilled vibe, awesome people, and relaxed but spot-on coaching. You get tips & tricks for both beginners and independent riders. And there’s even a photographer joining to capture your progress with epic (drone) shots. Highly recommended!
Just got back from Sicily too — such an incredible spot. And that Italian food from our own chef… buonissimo!!
Mirte L
Had an amazing week in Sicily! A super fun group and enthusiastic, friendly guidance from KiteActive. Even when there’s no wind, they always line up awesome activities. Definitely recommended!
Valentijn Munsterman
Wat een chille gasten zijn dit! Op madnes meerdere clinics bij ze gevolgd en hier en daar een dansje met ze gedaan. Zeer zeker aan te raden!
Bart Biermans
Wat een mooie ervaring. Na een aantal lessen in Nederland heb ik tijdens mijn Kite Acitve vakantie op Sicilie de eindjes aan elkaar kunnen knopen. Van de 6 dagen hebben we 5 dagen op het water gestaan. Goede begeleiding, heerlijk eten en een prachtige locatie direct aan de Kite spot. Ik ga zeker dit jaar nog een keer met ze mee, dit keer naar Brazilië, die bekend staat om zijn down winders. Dit smaakt naar meer!
Sandra te Loo
2 super leuke weken gehad in Sicilie met het team van Kite Active! Mooie kite sessies meegemaakt, leuke mensen om ons heen en vooral veel genoten van de mooie spot 😊
Tot de volgende!

The Trip
Go with the flow
As a kitesurfer you live with the wind, the waves, and the tides. That’s exactly how it goes during our trips. You go with the flow. And with us, the flow is always… The Wind!
During the Baleia Camps you’ll stay 7 or 14 nights in a comfortable pousada, right on the beach. Want to stay longer? Extra nights are always possible.
Every morning a fresh breakfast is prepared by our private chef – think tropical fruits, eggs, bread, and authentic Brazilian dishes. From the breakfast table you can stroll through the garden straight to the beach. The wind usually picks up around 10:00, so you decide whether to hit the water right away or relax in a hammock a little longer.
For beginners, our instructor creates a tailor-made schedule, fully adapted to wind and tides. Advanced riders can choose daily: kite right in front of the pousada or join a downwinder to Mundau or Icarai de Amontada. The wind is almost always steady between 18 and 25 knots, and no wetsuit needed here.
After a full day on the water, there’s plenty of time to relax – in the garden, on the beach, or with a caipirinha in hand. This camp is the perfect balance of action and pure relaxation, making it the ultimate kitesurf holiday Brazil.

Right in front of the pousada: wave kiting, depending on the tide.

Questions?
Got a question? We’ve selected a few of the most frequently asked ones for you.
Which material to bring?
The wind always blows at least 16 knots and often even harder, around 20 knots. In the afternoon, the wind sometimes drops a bit, so it’s also a good idea to bring larger sizes. The golden rule: bring all the wing sizes you have!
What is the level?
All our downwinders require a minimum level of 4. You must be an independent and confident kitesurfer who can manage on your own.
Is this trip for beginners?
Absolutely, one of the very best destinations to learn kitesurfing thanks to the private lagoon that is always calm and undiscovered!
Can I make my first downwinders?
Certainly, this trip is especially designed for people who want to start downwinding or improve their skills!
Do you also organize extra overnight stays outside of this trip?
Absolutely! We have a wealth of experience in Brazil, so with a few good questions, we’ll know exactly where you’ll want to stay for a few days before or after your trip! We especially recommend our Baleia camps, as they offer everything in one!
Recommended flights?
From Europe, KLM or FlyTAP are good options. It will roughly cost you between €800 and €1200 round-trip.
How is the group?
Our groups consist of enthusiastic kiters aged 25 to 65. This trip is designed for experienced kiters, so you’ll always travel with like-minded people who share the same passion. More and more women are joining our trips, and we strive for a good 50/50 gender split.
