The experience was...

The experience was fantastic! Filipe and Cristiana were amazing. Cristiana speaks excellent English and Spanish and provided informative and helpful communication throughout the tour. Loved it and would highly recommend this to anyone seeking adventure in Brazil.

Easy brasilian style tour

It is easy tour for those who not very demanding and wants to see some beaches and swim a little. Loud music and nice people.

Long excursion that is worth it, but watch out for the early morning pick-up time

The excursion is long but it is worth it. The 6:30 AM start time is misleading; hotel pickup is between 5:00 and 6:15 AM. Watch out for the fine print because you only find out the actual time after booking, and nobody gets 6:30 AM. Regarding lunch, if you choose to include it, keep in mind that it is at the end of the boat trip, around 4:30 PM, which is very late. I recommend not paying for it and having lunch on board or bringing something. The guide Cristiane was very good. The agency should include the boarding fee for greater convenience, since at the pier they only accept cash (which nobody has) or Pix, but the line for Pix payment is eternal. It ends up being a nuisance and delaying the rest, which is unnecessary. It is a small amount of money; the agency should resolve that.
