Getting to Jericoacoara isn't a single ride — it's a long road to Jijoca plus a 4×4 crossing over the dunes. That's why the way you book matters so much: the difference between a smooth arrival and a stressful one usually comes down to whether both legs, your pickup and your schedule are handled together. We'll be straight with you about when a transfer with us is worth it, and when it isn't.

Directional comparison for a typical international traveler. "Book on arrival" means arranging the road leg and the 4×4 separately at Jijoca.
Your shuttle to Jijoca and the 4×4 jardineira across the dunes are on a single ticket, with the timings synced. No waiting, no arranging the crossing yourself.
Book and pay by card with instant confirmation. No carrying a stack of reais for the ride, no negotiating a fare at the roadside in a language you may not speak.
We help you in English, French and Portuguese — before, during and after the trip. That's the single biggest reason international visitors pick us over locally-arranged transport.
Plans change. Cancel up to 48 hours before departure at no cost — clearly stated, not buried in fine print.
We'd rather you choose well than choose us blindly. A locally-booked regular shared seat can show a lower headline price, especially for Brazilian travelers comfortable arranging the 4×4 in Portuguese. If your only priority is the rock-bottom fare and you don't mind organizing each leg yourself, that route can work. Renting a car makes sense if you're touring Ceará more widely — just remember you'll still park at Jijoca and pay for the dune crossing, because no car enters Jericoacoara.
Where we win is the combination international travelers actually care about: everything in one booking, paid in advance, in your language, with a real cancellation policy.
Transfer Jerico isn't a generic marketplace listing thousands of unrelated tours. We run one dedicated service for a single journey — Fortaleza ⇄ Jericoacoara — with trusted local operators (our partner on this route is Sim7). One route, one team, all our attention on getting you there.
Is Transfer Jerico the cheapest way to reach Jericoacoara?
Not always the lowest headline price — a local wholesale seat can be cheaper. But our fare is all-in: shuttle + 4×4, hotel pickup, a fixed synced schedule and free cancellation up to 48h. Cheaper options often price only one leg or add costs on arrival.
Can I pay online in advance?
Yes. You book and pay online by card with instant confirmation, in English, French or Portuguese. No cash needed for the transfer and no haggling on arrival at Jijoca.
What is included in the price?
The air-conditioned shuttle Fortaleza→Jijoca, the 4×4 jardineira across the dunes, door-to-door hotel or airport pickup, and free cancellation up to 48h. The R$41.50 national park fee is not included.
Do I get support in my language?
Yes — English, French and Portuguese, before, during and after the trip. It's one of the main reasons international visitors choose us over locally-arranged transport.
Hotel pickup, shuttle to Jijoca and the 4×4 across the dunes — one booking, paid online, support in your language.
