I made my reservation on the website. The terminal was very easy to get to. The trip to the island was very nice as they offered food and drink while singing Brazilian songs. The Island itself is incredible. I was blown away by its beauty. They also provided a buffet which you had to pay an additional amount for but I didn't mind. The trip back was also great.

I had such a truly AMAZING experience on this tour!! The two island stops that we made (the Frades Islands + Itaparica Tour) were just fantastic! The beaches were clean, safe, and featured such pristine waters. Make sure you ask for Mr. Gilmar Soarez. He is THE best tour guide in all of Salvador. Gilmar can arrange tours of the city, too. The could double the price (it was only $18 USD in August 2024) and it would be more than worth it!

Me, my boyfriend and my friend took this trip in February 2024 and all of us absolutely loved it. The vibe was great, live music and bar on the bout, the beaches were great and pretty quiet at this time of the year which was nice. We did a little excursion into one of the island. Our guide and the group were all good fun. Good value for money too. Recommended!

Overall a positive experience. The boat crew was interactive/high energy and the drinks were delicious. The band was good and other patrons sang and danced creating a party atmosphere. The boat ride, views and both islands were beautiful. The buffet was excellent. Negative, requested at booking and was told at window that there would be an English speaking guide. Our guide was not fluent in English. I appreciate that he at least directly communicated meeting location and departure times between islands. There was limited narration, so we didn't miss much information about the bay and islands. Highly recommend if you want nice views, calm beach for swimming, excellent buffet and a fun boat ride.

Beautiful everything from the places and the nice energy in the environment. Both on the boat as we went to each destination, where you could enjoy live music. Like the times to stay in each place. It allows you to enjoy the excursion to the fullest without touring in the rush.

The tour itself was very good from the guide to the guidelines passed during the tour, only the service at the Restaurant Manguezal that left to be desired

It was great the ride, I only don't give 5 stars because I thought the part of the ride in Ilha dos Frades could have been a while longer than the next one in Itaparica. Since Ilha dos Frades is a paradise itself.
