A good day out and highly recommended, but with some cautions. As other reviewers have stated, this is two islands, the first is almost Robin Crusoe-like, and we loved it, the second, Itaparica, is more of a mixed bag. Getting on and off the boat here is not simple and not at all recommended unless you are in good shape. Also, you are sort of trapped in a small enclave with food and some hammocks. We enjoyed it, but with tips and lunch its more expensive than you might plan for.
Excursion well organized by the contracted Enterprise, comfortable escuna with various drinks options (paid separately), well safe, counting tbm with very nice musical group that very animated the tour! The first stop on Frades Island was magnificent! Practically deserted, but has a small infrastructure to serve tourists. Hot and crystal clear water, breathtaking landscape! Sorry the stop on this island is too short! When you start to enjoy and relax, the guide gives the warning of return to the boat. The second stage of the tour was really disappointing. First, the squirrel does not strike on the beach because there is no bridge. The arrival on the beach on the island of Itaparica is made by small boats.. passengers need to pass from the escuna to this small boat that for many people who have some limitation is really very sacrificial and the same happens when returning to the escuna. According to the restaurant where lunch is served is not of good quality especially if we take into account the value of R$69.90 per Cover and counted only one dessert option (banana sweet). Unfortunately it seemed to us that the only intention of taking the tourists to the island of Itaparica would be to attend this restaurant because we barely tasted lunch, all passengers are immediately invited to board the escuna for the return to Salvador. I believe that all the tourism companies in the area have this logistics.. a pity!
Very efficient and punctual translation. The extra values of the tours were explained without any surprise, although there was a charge of 10,00 per Cover by the band that played on the boat. The guide was excellent too, just compliments. Definitely worth the service package, I recommend!
Really good time. Everyone very nice . Food and drink very good! Would recommend to anyone who wants to see island.
Everything was well organized and they handled our times quite well although of course, the typical of a good tour but without possibility of choice, if they feel unsure with the language is bioen but next we will do it for free
It was an unforgettable tour, well organized and with very fun people, I recommend this tour with this Enterprise. Deserves a note 10
We hired YourTour Brazil to carry out the semi-terrestrial transfer and return from Salvador – Morro de São Paulo. The staff were quite attentive and helpful throughout the journey and throughout the journey they were informing the travel time and where we were. Both on the way and back we boarded at the agreed time, the guides took care of our luggage and we had a very quiet trip, because they passed security at all times. I recommend!
