Highlights
- Baia de Todos os Santos - After hotel pick ups, you will get to the Pier where you will embark inside the Schooner. Departure is around 9 am. The Schooner trip until the first stop takes around 1:30h. Enjoy the views of All Saints Bay to the sound of live music and cool off with tasty drinks (not included) from the onboard service.
- Ilha dos Frades - Upon arriving at Ilha dos Frades, you will understand why it has the blue flag seal, which is assigned to places that have crystal clear water! Entering the island and its village (about 100 inhabitants), you will probably hear the pleasant sound of the saxophone played by a former resident of the island who receives visitors playing music.
The beach has tables and parasols, as well as service and vendors.

Great day - For a nice day trip, I would recommend going to IIha dos Frades and Itaparica to relax and to get out of the city. The live samba band on the boat was nice!Tour guides were very friendly, however they did not speak English which was disappointing, I was happy that my A1.1 Spanish lessons helped a little. I did not learn much about the islands, it was just a transfer going from island to island... They should change there page, saying that the tour is in Portuguese or Spanish because then you know what to expect!
