The most common. Salvador → ferry to Bom Despacho (Itaparica) → car, van or bus to Valença, Graciosa or Torrinhas → boat to Boipeba. Typical total time: around 4h to 6h. Valença has more infrastructure and schedules; Graciosa and Torrinhas usually mean shorter final crossings.
Sea crossing without Itaparica. More frequent in high season; subject to open sea and, sometimes, a minimum group. Typical time around 2h to 2h30. Confirm availability for your date.
Short flight in a small aircraft to Boipeba's airstrip — around 25 minutes. The fastest and most scenic route. Charter / on request; luggage limits apply.
Around the bay via BR-324/BA-001 to Valença, Graciosa or Torrinhas, without the ferry. Longer overland leg; paid parking on the mainland — cars do not go to the island.
Those already in Morro can take a 4x4 to the southern tip of Tinharé and cross by boat to Boipeba. Total duration often cited at around 1h to 1h30, subject to local transfer operations.
Door to door on your schedule — Valença, Graciosa, Torrinhas or Morro. On request. No reliance on public boats or minimum groups.
Some landings and crossings depend on tide and weather. Authorised operators and the house boat help fit the best time. If the sea is rough (more common in certain months), plans may change — flexibility is part of island travel.
