Paradise islands. - The journey to the islands is quite fun, I had never stayed in the open sea like that, I felt in the Lost series, it felt like I was in another country. The island of the frades is very beautiful, the beach is excellent, with clear waters and calm waves. Already in Itaparica I got the desire to live there, everything very beautiful. It was worth the walk. The agency is excellent, I had no downtime and the service was excellent.

Frades Islands/Itaparica - Great tour, the island of Frades is beautiful. The boat trip was quiet and everyone very excited. I have nothing to complain about.

Very nice islands and very cool boat trip - Very beautiful islands. Music is played on the boat, free fruit is distributed and you can buy drinks. I would recommend taking a seat at the back in case of rain and if you do not want to be wet sprayed a place in the middle or back. Attention: You pay an additional R$16 for terminal entry and R$25 for island entry. Lunch costs R$80 per person and is really good (buffet).

The beach of Frades Island is Incredible - Frades has a beach with excellent quality, wave-free, fluffy, friendly water. It's a place I intend to go back to. Itaparica was more for lunch, I did not enjoy the island, so I can not comment. The tour departed and returned in the scheduled, well performed service..

Great team! - The tour was very nice even if unfortunately the weather was not much, almost everything is to be paid extra, but then again the tour is very cheap, the staff on board I really liked especially the bartender at hand and very nice and also the musicians thank you for the beautiful day!!

I would never take this walk again. - The frades island is beautiful, worth it. The part of Itaparica is dispensable. The Mangezal buffet is bad. I didn't even like lunch. Check out the restaurant reviews on tripadvisor. They're pretty bad. My coconut water seemed to have water, baptized. You should review this tour and this bad stop in Itaparica. If you can, go on the walk that only goes to Frades Island.

Fun but not in English - The views were gorgeous and the boat trip had a great vibe, the buffet was tasty too. However, we were told our tour guide for the boat and the city tour would speak English, when in fact, they did not. So I would not recommend to English language only customers.

Entrance to the Nautico terminal - The tour is nice, but you can buy the ticket directly at the Nautico terminal. I paid almost double buying on Tripadvisor. The boat leaves every day at 8am from the Náutico terminal, next to the Model Market.

not a great day out - the good : nice beaches and the boat was a good vibe the not so good : the operators at the beginning didn't accept the ticket i bought online and forced me to buy another on entry the "guide" changed his stance on whether he spoke english or not multiple times, apparently only speaking it when it involved me paying for something was ignored by staff multiple times when they did the rounds for fruit / drinks don't bother with this trip unless you're brazilian or plan on going with one.

Bad experience with food - The boat tour was nice and the places very beautiful, but several people of my family and I were sick while eating in the restaurant imposed by the Guide. Very poor quality food probably damaged.
