Great value, beautiful islands and views, amazing staff.

Published on Mar, 2025

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.

Great experience on the Bay and 2 Island stops

Published on Mar, 2024

The schooner left from the Terminal Náutico da Bahia, where it was necessary to pay a tax of R$25. The first stop on Ilha dos Frades (at Ponta de Nossa Senhora de Guadalupe) required payment of an "access fee" of R$25. The trip information advised of the second fee, but not the first. The beach at Ponta de Nossa Senhora de Guadalupe is really lovely. There is a proper dock for easy disembarking and re-boarding. The second stop, on Ilha de Itaparica, required passengers to transfer from the schooner to small boats, and then to wade ashore through very shallow (and very warm) water. We had lunch at that stop. The schooner trip on Baía de Todos os Santos (All Saints Bay) was relaxing and the views really grand. A wonderful experience!

Beautiful day trip

Published on Mar, 2024

Awesome day trip trough Bahia de Todos os Santos! Stopped at two islands: Ilha dos Frades (very ecological) and Itaparica.

Fantastic all day trip I would recommend

Published on Aug, 2023

This is a great all day experience that gives a different view of Salvador and islands in the bay. We were picked up from our hotel looked after all day and then left back to the hotel at the end. The islands are beautiful and very interesting but best of all was the really fun atmosphere on the boat. We had only been in Brazil for 2 days and we left the boat having made lots of new Brazilian friends. Food and drinks are great too. The tour is very well organised by the leader Isaco Costa who is a great English speaker and took us under his wing - even giving us introductions to guides for the following stages of our holiday. I would thoroughly recommend this trip and this company.

Great Day Trip

Published on Jan, 2023

Thr excursion was timely. The rides from the city to the islands is about 2 hours each way. The crew was awesome, the drinks were great and the live band was on point. Make sure you are wearing clothes and shoes for water.
