A Great Beach Day Excursion with De Boa Turismo
Had an amazing experience on this schooner trip to Ilha dos Frades, a gorgeous island right off the coast of Salvador. Though our English-speaking guide didn't make it with us on the trip to the island, I was able to use Google's live translate feature on the boat to keep up with the announcements. The waters on the island are calm, warm and crystal clear, perfect for a beach day where you don't have to worry about rip tides. The beach umbrellas are free as long as your order food from the restaurants. The meals were a bit pricey, but that was to be expected. All in all, it was a great day. We really enjoyed being serenaded on the boat trip back. It was the perfect ending to a picture perfect day.

Taking flip flops...
Taking flip flops (havaianas) is a good idea. Dońt forget sunscreen and enjoy the brazilian people singing and dancing along the way to the ireland

Fun even for a non native speaker
At first it was a little difficult because the original group was cancelled so I was moved to another group with no English speaker. It was a bit difficult to get around but if you know the hearts of Brazilian people, someone will help you out. The tour was amazing fun especially for the price. 2 Wonderful beaches in a secluded area and music, food and drinks available.

The tour guide was...
The tour guide was helpful. There was limited English but the Spanish was good enough to follow along. The food/restaurant for lunch was amazing. A few hiccups because of the weather but staff on the boat kept us entertained and calm for the ride back. Thank you
Response from the operator: Agradecemos, Esperamos um retorno para melhor servi-lo.

How much does Schooner Trip Only Ilha dos Frades, Leaving Salvador-Bahia. cost?

Prices start at $48 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Salvador da Bahia usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Schooner Trip Only Ilha dos Frades, Leaving Salvador-Bahia. take?

Is Schooner Trip Only Ilha dos Frades, Leaving Salvador-Bahia. worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 89 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Salvador da Bahia, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Is Schooner Trip Only Ilha dos Frades, Leaving Salvador-Bahia. suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Schooner Trip Only Ilha dos Frades, Leaving Salvador-Bahia.?
+
Around 31 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Salvador da Bahia can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Salvador da Bahia and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Salvador da Bahia?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Salvador da Bahia?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
