Praise - Very good tour, Itaparica is all good! I just think you should warn that you have the part that you have to translate to a boat, given that it can become impossible for some people! I fell for example when I went by boat.

Great value, beautiful islands and views, amazing staff. - The staff, the views, the islands, and the service were all amazing. The group playing live music makes the boat ride super fun and engaging. My only downside was the amount of people on the boat and yet that’s also part of what made it fun. Plus, despite the amount of people, the staff handled everything very well and in an organized manner. There’s lots of domestic tourism here so be ready to jam out to Brasilian songs with locals. I’d definitely do it again! My gf and I spent ~$120 USD TOTAL for 2 ppl!!! Boat ride. Port fee. Protected island fee. Food. Drinks. And drone shots. If that’s not an amazing deal, then I don’t know what is.

Fun but needs organization - This tour was super fun! And honestly perfect, the only problem was that they don’t really communicate times well, it has a time on here but when they text you it’s another! Luckily we were able to go on the next boat

Consider Taking Public Ferry To Larger Island - The trip overall was pretty good and as expected. They pass out a drink with the unused fruit. They don't tell you there is a charge but they do. The first island is very exposed and hot. You can pay R30 to get a tent. The money is based on food or drink orders. People on the boat enjoyed the live music and dancing. The first island for me is not as nice as the second one. If I knew, I would take the public ferry on my own and enjoy that island which is closer to Salvador.
