I LOVED IT! A MUST EXPERIENCE WHILE IN SALVADOR! - 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!

Great vibe - 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!

Unforgettable Idf Tours - We booked a private tour with Netto from Idf Tours (71) 9 8162 - 8532 and it was unforgettable. Smooth navigation, explains all the stops, we covered the entire island with several wonderful spots, he brings a cooler and speaker to make the tour even more enjoyable, he recommends a wonderful restaurant CANTINHO DA SHEILA. It was simply an incredible day

Wonderful - Wonderful place, well worth visiting! Great and attentive team! It would be better to just remind the regulars about the other little church on Frades Island, unfortunately we only know the one with the panoramic view, but I later discovered that there is another one that I would have loved to have known.

Best do 1 day Frade 1 day Itaparica - Tour Isle of the Frades + Itaparica. We negotiated directly with the company (Passeios as Ilhas) at the nautico terminal, when we went to meet the Model Market. Boarding fee per person at the nautique terminal (including child) and environmental fee per person in Frades Island (including child) are charged. I really liked the structure of Frades Island, the village and its decoration are charming. Sorry you ran. A couple of hours. And we went to Itaparica for lunch, and at 2:30 we came back. The boat suffered a lot with the waves on the return, we arrived immersed. I didn't know, but it looks like you can only go to Frades Island. And only for Itaparica. It would be more interesting 1 day at home. With the same company we did a land tour, Praia do Forte and Guarajuba. Where in Praia do Forte with the running time, you can: meet the Tamar Project or dive and take a photo or buggy ride. In Guarajuba, we arrived for lunch and "like" the beach.

Unpleasant experience, almost frustrating - I made the Reservation via Trip's website. When we arrived on boarding, the boarding information and values were unfounded. We were greeted by Cleber, an employee of the agency Tours the Islands. The boarding fee costs 20 reals, not 13 as in the Listing. My Reservation was not confirmed with the agency, it was necessary to show all supporting documentation (Reservation, voucher, proof of payment). Cléber, very kind, solved the situation and put us on another boat of a partner agency. In this sense, I do not recommend buying for the trip, look for the agency directly. However, after warranty and execution of the service, we were very satisfied with the tour and services provided.

I strongly advise against - Staff who do everything so that you consume dirty toilets no water to wash your hands on Itaparica Obligation to have lunch in the restaurant where you stay on the beach without an umbrella the restaurant was bad and expensive I I was offered an excursion to go around the island in a non-air-conditioned van and in a pitiful state, we were crammed in and we took a very short tour to the port and the guide had to speak French in fact no I strongly advise against
