Can improve
We didn't even go to the little church on Frades Island, we could have enjoyed the island better, maybe short stops at each beach. And for the amount paid, the fee at Marina could easily have been included. It's practically 200 just for the round trip transfer from the hotel, complicated. But overall the trip was really nice
Response from the operator: Agradecemos por compartilhar sua experiência. Ficamos felizes em saber que, no geral, o passeio foi agradável. Sentimos que alguns pontos do roteiro não tenham atendido às suas expectativas e agradecemos as sugestões, que serão consideradas pela nossa equipe. Esperamos receber você novamente para uma experiência ainda melhor!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Tour to Frades Island and Itaparica - Departure from Salvador: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Salvador da Bahia.
How much does Tour to Frades Island and Itaparica - Departure from Salvador cost?
+
Prices start at $52 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 Tour to Frades Island and Itaparica - Departure from Salvador take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Salvador da Bahia is not rushed.
Is Tour to Frades Island and Itaparica - Departure from Salvador worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 83 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 102 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.
Can I cancel or reschedule Tour to Frades Island and Itaparica - Departure from Salvador?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Tour to Frades Island and Itaparica - Departure from Salvador suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Tour to Frades Island and Itaparica - Departure from Salvador?
+
Around 36 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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tour to Frades Island and Itaparica - Departure from Salvador start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Salvador da Bahia within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Salvador da Bahia?
+
On Outty we rank every Salvador da Bahia experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cooking class in Salvador, fun hands on experience with caips, Salvador Walking Tour Through Pelourinho, Historic City Tour - Half Day in Salvador. 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.
