Confirm all flight arrangements directly with operators, as no scheduled commercial service currently operates here.
Maricá's free electric bus system (BRT Verde) runs in the urban core — useful once you reach the city center.
The lagoon road (RJ-106) connecting Maricá to Niterói and Rio can be congested on weekends; allow extra travel time.
