Itaparica & Ilha dos Frades Tropical Islands Full Day Boat trip
Good day trip
A good day out and highly recommended, but with some cautions. As other reviewers have stated, this is two islands, the first is almost Robin Crusoe-like, and we loved it, the second, Itaparica, is more of a mixed bag. Getting on and off the boat here is not simple and not at all recommended unless you are in good shape. Also, you are sort of trapped in a small enclave with food and some hammocks. We enjoyed it, but with tips and lunch its more expensive than you might plan for.
