    The tour isn't what it says, they merge you with a tour company that sales similar trip in the city (and has lower rates on Trioadvisor!), but much cheaper compared to this one. The tour turned out to be on a boat with about 100 people. It started at 8:30 (not as advertised in the Viator, 7 or 7:30). There was no english speaking guide. Although the portugese speaking guide was in a good mood.
    Response from Host, Jan 2023
    Good night, First, you did not specify that it was English language when purchasing, we sent a message the day before in Portuguese and you replied, even so the guide introduced himself and you did not say anything else. The delay happened because the harbor captaincy was slow to release the schooners, but to compensate we stayed another hour on the second island. Our schooner had 115 people but its capacity is for 150 people. We have schooners of various sizes. Thanks for the feedback

    This tour is not what is advertised. This tour ONLY went to Ilha dos Frades Island and not to Itaparica. There is another tour that goes to both with another tour operator but leaves at 08:00.
    Response from Host, Jan 2022
    We apologize for what happened, there was an internal error that will not happen again. Thanks for the signage!
    Carefree music on the bay

    Once I found the window inside the terminal building it was all smooth sailing. The boat was spacious and clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. Once we got underway and the drinks started coming and the band started playing i was able to relax and enjoy the bay.

    Good time

    Great experience. Enjoyed both islands and the boat ride. Wear sunblock. Only option on both islands was swimming in the ocean and lounging on the beach, but both locations were great and the water was warm.

    Great day out

    Great trip. Boat was not crowded, staff were friendly. A band of ‘musicians’ even joined us for part of the way and although they weren’t great, they generated a lovely atmosphere. Lovely day out

    O lugar é incrível,...
    Julianasantos_C, Feb 2024
    O lugar é incrível, paraíso na terra. Mas esperava mais pelo valor que paguei, pois tive que pagar mais taxas, não tem nada de mais no trabalho que é prestado pelo guia, somente informações, que poderiam ser passadas via folheto, o único trabalho de guia que é feito fica por conta de pagamento de mais taxas, eu e meu namorado esperávamos bem mais. Não vimos a igreja que fica na beirada da praia, fomos sozinhos até a a praia da variação, os preços praticados pelo pessoal das barracas da praia são exorbitantes. E o almoço servido não vale o valor cobrado a única coisa saborosa mesmo, foram as saladas. Mas eu comi bastante, pra fazer valer o valor pago. Enfim, o valor que eu paguei ficou pela beleza do lugar, pois o serviço prestado deixou muito a desejar. O fotógrafo do passeio e o grupo de samba, são muito simpáticos, a eles deveria ser pago um valor extra pela agência.

    Nós agradecemos pelo feedback. Sobre as taxas de embarque Salvador e de entrada em Só Frades que são pagas a parte é informada ao cliente, pela plataforma e mediante envio de informativo. Em relação aos restaurantes o guia sugere os lugares, fica a critério do cliente escolher um local mais accessível.
    Hermosa jornada, excelente excursión
    Claudio_F, Feb 2024
    La navegación fue calma y eficiente. Obsequian frutas. Las bebidas y snacks se pagan (consultar el precio en el momento). Los músicos son criticados en otros comentarios; es música y canto brasileño con un trío que solo califica como razonable, pero para amenizar el viaje más que suficiente. Si, hay que darles propina, hubo quién no puso nada y no lo echaron por la borda, es una compensación por música alegre todo el viaje. Isla dos Frades un playa de paraíso; en Itaparica nos llevan un único restaurant, con comida brasileña que no nos gusta a todos, no es un menú internacional a la carta, pero no hay que dramatizar. R$ 75.- por persona no es caro ni barato. Ahí ofrecen una excursión por la isla opcional a R$ 25 apenas. Quienes no quisimos ir tuvimos la playa una hora y media y las instalaciones del restaurant a disposición. Además nos tocó un día de clima excelente.

    BOA EXPERIÊNCIA
    Ricardo_B, Jan 2024
    O Guia, a tripulação e a Banda forneceram experiências muito boas. A evitar: piadas inoportunas por parte do responsável da Foto/video reportagem com cidadãos de outras nacionalidades.

    Passeio escuna Ilha dis Frades X Itaparica
    marisa_f, Jan 2022
    O almoço no restaurante Manguezal na Ilha de Itaparica caro e péssimo, parte da ilha de Itaparica péssima. Em toda a propaganda do passeio está claro que seriam 3 h na Ilha dos Frades, coisa que não ocorreu e fomos deixados na Ilha, tivemos que apelar para outra empresa nos levar até itaparica. Disseram que seria incluso a banda na escuna, no entanto, passaram o chapéu e disseram que os músicos não eram remunerados.
    Response from Host, Jan 2022
    Boa tarde, O restaurante indicamos é opcional um o buffet livre com 3 proteínas e sobremesa custo R$60,00. Temos outras avaliações aqui elogiando a comida isso vai da pessoa. Passeio as duas ilhas permanência em Frades é 2h com esta neste descritivo ficamos 2:30 e a senhora não apareceu. Pedimos para escuna de uma agencia parceira que ia sair mais tarde leva-la ate a próxima ilha. Assim foi feito a senhora não foi abandonada. Nossos colegas estavam ciente. Tínhamos um grupo grande e não podíamos comprometer o passeio dos outros cliente já que todos foram avisados pelo guia. O pessoal do samba permanece na escuna em um trecho e tem ajuda de custo, ficam livre para passar o chapéu que é opcional. Agradecemos pelo retorno.
    Passeio das ilhas
    Baeta-82, Feb 2020
    Passa-se mais tempo na escuna que nas praias. Ilhas dos Frades é bonita. Itaparica é regular. Não recomendo para quem tem crianças pequenas
