The guesthouse "POUSADA TROPICÁLIA"  
is situated on the island of Itaparica,  
in the heart of the „All-Saints-Bay"  
(Baia de Todos os Santos).  
The bed-and-breakfast lies on the main road  
in Ponta de Areia,the "Avenida Beira Mar".  

 

There are different possibilities,
regarding transport:

Ferry-boat or Catamaran:
The Ferry is the most popular way
to go to the island.
It costs around 2 US$ per person (by feet).
It leaves the suburb "São Joaquim"
in Salvador approximately every 90 minutes
and takes one hour to cross.

Now we got a new catamaran-ferry
which is much faster and comfortable,
the engine works with the newest
technology worldwide.
From "Bom Despacho" on the island
to the guesthouse is only 4 miles by taxi.
We also offer our Pick-up-service at the airport to bring you to the Ferry
or direct to the Pension.
These costs are variable that's why
we will inform about this by email.

Lancha:
Departure from the Mercado Modelo in Salvador.
These solid, wooden boats need only 40 minutes to cross to the island
and departures every 30 minutes during the day.
From the arrival in Mar Grande to the guesthouse go by taxi.

The roat BR-101 comes from the south of Bahia, passws Nazaré das Farinhas
and arrives at Itaparica Island by crossing a bridge, linking the island to the mainland.
From there it´s 20 miles more to the main intersection Mar Grande – Itaparica town.
