What travellers are saying
- SandyGrimBala Cynwyd, PA118 contributionsActually, the night before our trip we got an email saying that the trip to Ilha dos Frades only was canceled and we could switch to the Frades/Itaparica tour for the same price, which we did. It was an entertaining and excellent experience. There are several boat companies that run the same tour though you cannot tell from TripAdvisor who you are booking with. Our boat was run by Apolonio. The Marina embarkation point is slightly chaotic and we had to wait around for quite a bit not knowing when our boat would leave.
There were three guides, all of whom spoke good English, though of the 80+ passengers there were, as far as we could tell only 6 non-Brazilians. The best part of the experience was the boat trip itself. Those Brazilians really know how the party and the on-deck bar which opened t 9:00 AM did a roaring trade in caipirinhas made with many varieties of fresh fruit. The chief guide was an amazing dancer and had the entire company dancing and singing along to Brazilian carneval music — everyone seemed to know all the words to dozens of songs.
After about 1 hour 40 minutes sailing, singing, drinking, and dancing we reached our first destination. The Ilha dos Frades is a lovely, well maintained and protected island. Everyone headed for the beach, but the chapel on the hill, and the little village were also well worth visiting. The sea was calm and warm and well worth a dip. We spent a relaxing 2 hours before heading back to the boat for the 40 minutes trip to Itaparica.
This was our lunch destination. The restaurant (Restaurante Manguezal) had no dock, and we went from our boat to the beach on some sketchy looking motor boats with about 20 passengers each. You needed to jump off the big boat into the little boat, then wade ashore from the little boat to the restaurant, where there was a massive all-you-can-eat buffet for 75 reales. We did not indulge, but pretty much everyone else did. There was certainly plenty of choice of Brazilian, Bahaian, and international type food. We went through the restaurant into the village, which was pretty scruffy and rundown - not worth visiting.
After 2 hours of eating and drinking, it was back on the (overcrowded) motorboats and then clambering up onto the “Schooner” for the 1.5 hour trip back to Salvador. The dancing guide worked had to get everyone moving again, but most people were exhausted.
Overall this whole trip was a blast and a real insight into happy, indulgent, music obsessed Brazilian party life. The islands themselves are nice stopping points, but the boat trip itself is the major draw.Written March 18, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

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.Written February 1, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Tarek AMichigan3 contributionsNice beaches and good transfer. There wasn’t enough beach buggies to accommodate everyone in the tour and communication wasn’t very smooth.Written July 7, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Doc KJNew York City, NY1 contributionI 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!Written August 5, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mathew IsaacProvince of Barcelona, Spain6 contributionsCarla was great! We had such a blast through the whole experience! She started by taking us shopping in the markets and picking out the groceries. Then she took us to her place and taught us how to cook so many dishes. Starting with Caipirinhas all the way through appetizers, mains and dessert. Absolutely amazing experience and would 100% recommend it to everyone. We learnt a lot about the culture through the food and Carla was a great teacher and we could step out of the experience knowing that we could cook some good Brazilian food!Written March 19, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TLSOttawa, Canada24 contributionsThe trip itself was good, and Rodriguez is an energetic guide, who clearly enjoys his job. Thank you...
The organization of the trip, could be improved. The pick up time, at my hotel was identified as 07:00. Since I always endeavour to be on time, I was out front at 06:55. As I waited outside and saw 2 tour vans go by, I thought this is the one...no such luck, then 2 school buses go by. At 07:25 I text to ask what the delay is and I was informed that I needed to walk down to the main street and along to a bus stop, as the road I am on is too small. Clearly it is not given the traffic I saw go by. This 10 minute walk, wasn't such a big deal because I am fit - were I not it could have been an issue - I also didn't argue as my street is a one way and it would have added time to the route. I was finally picked up at 07:45 and we then we spent the next 45 ish minutes driving to the other hotels to collect the other participants.
Forte Beach was timed well for me as I only wanted to do the Tamar Project and not the snorkeling or dune buggy and so I shopped. Lunch at Guarajuba Beach was excellent and the beach beautiful with plenty of time to enjoy both!
The return trip also took a long time because of the additional time driving to everyone's hotels to drop them off. This added an hour, since I was 2nd last. Further, the same excuse about the road being to narrow was given and I was dropped off at the corner and had to walk up and since I spent most of the day sitting I didn't argue...Please do not tell me to be ready at 07:00 and make me wait. ~Addendum a huge dump truck went by this morning and actually backed into a construction site with no issues.Written March 8, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

On the day, they also had a male teacher so we learnt the male steps while the ladies learnt the other steps. It was a fun class for beginner. It’s not a class where you’ll learn everything step by step or getting the techniques fully right but it’s a class to just watch and follow and just have fun. I’d recommend it certainly.
Contact the school directly for the timetable of the classes as they offer other classes also at different time.Written March 11, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
