Fun even for a non native speaker

At first it was a little difficult because the original group was cancelled so I was moved to another group with no English speaker. It was a bit difficult to get around but if you know the hearts of Brazilian people, someone will help you out. The tour was amazing fun especially for the price. 2 Wonderful beaches in a secluded area and music, food and drinks available.

The tour guide was...

The tour guide was helpful. There was limited English but the Spanish was good enough to follow along. The food/restaurant for lunch was amazing. A few hiccups because of the weather but staff on the boat kept us entertained and calm for the ride back. Thank you

You surprised me!

It is a walk that will occupy your entire day. We arrived at the place of boarding at 8am and we went to land on the return around 6am. Despite this, the tour is well worth it!

Easy way to get to beautiful beach

Boat trip to beautiful places, opportunity to swim and eat well. However, the tour does not provide any particular guidance in terms of information about the places. We were served fruit on the boat. Place No. 2, didn't actually have a beach. But there was good food there.

Beautiful Island Day Trip

This schooner trip to Ilha dos Frades was a fantastic way to enjoy Bahia’s stunning coast and the calm, crystal-clear waters of the island. The crew was friendly and helpful, and we loved the relaxed beach time and exploring the area. The boat ride across the Bay of All Saints offered great views and a peaceful vibe. Highly recommend for anyone looking to get out on the water and experience a lovely Brazilian island escape - fantastic atmosphere with dancing, music and caipirinhas on the boat!

We signed our walk...

We signed our walk that said to leave Salvador at 8:30 a.m. The boat left only after 9 a.m. The guide informed everyone that the trip would take 1h20, but we only arrived on the island of the frades 2 hours later compromising the time he stayed on the island of the frades. In return the same situation. We already left late and the journey that was going to take 1h20 - spoken by the guide - also took 2 hours.

Bom dia, Conforme informado no comunicado enviado no dia anterior, marcamos o encontro com meia hora de antecedência para realizar o check-in, compra dos tickets e coleta de informações dos passageiros. Em seguida, iniciamos o embarque e aguardamos a autorização da Capitania dos Portos — procedimentos obrigatórios e importantes para a segurança de todos. Para sair da ilha tambem precisamos de autorização das outoridades portuaria. Sobre a travessia, mesmo em águas tranquilas, quando a maré está baixando a embarcação faz mais esforço para chega na ilha pois navegamos no sentido contrário, como se estivéssemos “subindo uma ladeira” na volta aconteceu o mesmo a maré estava subindo quando vontamos para Salvador. . Ao que tudo indica, foi o que ocorreu no dia do seu passeio. Ainda assim, o encanto da experiência permanece, começando já na saída do porto, com a bela paisagem da nossa baía. Tenha certeza de que fazemos sempre o melhor para oferecer um ótimo passeio aos nossos clientes.
