The boat cruise was a pleasant way to spend the day. For some unexplained reason, our itinerary was reversed from the reservation itinerary - we went first to Itaparica, arriving at 10am, where we were taken to a restaurant to eat a buffet lunch. Who wants to eat lunch at 10am? There also was offered an optional (extra cost) tour of the island. We declined both the lunch & the tour, and instead spent the 2+ hours walking and exploring the island. You don't need a tour to visit the island sites. Then the tour sailed to Ihla Dos Frades, where we had a fabulous meal at a restaurant, and after spent time on the beach. Overall, the tour was ok, but definitely recommend you strike out on your own and not hang with the group all day.

Cissa is extremely attentive and friendly.
Excellent experience! Everything with great care
It was a great tour with a wonderful guide!!! Too bad the beach wasn't clean! 🥹 But the sunset was worth it. 😍
We loved the whole trip. Frades Island is incredible, I would definitely go back. Patrick's guide is great.
Great experience! Patrick from Luck was very attentive and was always willing to help, doing everything to make the trip smooth and pleasant. I would like to thank him and the entire Luck team for the excellent service and the great work provided. I highly recommend it!
Guide Patrick was very attentive and careful. We like to take tours with Luck because they have a very good team.
Beautiful places, pleasant atmosphere.
It was excellent! Patrick the guide is very kind and attentive!
I really liked the service of the guide Patrick
Wonderful experience. Super attentive guide. The Frades Island is a spectacle.
Our trip with Patrick was wonderful! He was great and made all the difference in our experience of knowing Salvador. We felt very well accompanied and enjoyed the day a lot. It was one of the special moments of our trip! Patrick, thank you very much for the kindness and the excellent work. I recommend it with my eyes closed! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
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
Excellent trip to Itaparica island. Delicious seawater. The super attentive and careful guide.
The outing went well. From reception to pick up at the hotel and take to the boat. The guide Patrick is always attentive and helpful. The tour was very good. First we went to Ilha de Itaparica and then to Ilha dos Frades.
Frades Islands is an incredible place, it has several cool restaurants... a beautiful church with a perfect sea view... I recommend visiting this island..Fantastic trip. I traveled with Luck Receptivo. From the Saleswoman (Raiane) and the Tour Guide (Isa)... excellent people..with incredible charisma..
The tour was great, but the experience can be improved. It is not a trip with easy accessibility, disembarking and boarding at Itaparica beach is difficult for older people, for overweight people, the boat was without a ladder and the exit and entrance were adapted.
The trip was wonderful! A special thanks to Uallas (guide) who provided a lot of security and support. And also Clóvis (the shuttle driver) who was very helpful and agile.
Excellent tour, very organized company
Excellent experience. Very interesting and relaxing trip! The guide had immense care, in addition to impressive historical knowledge
Incredible The extremely polite, punctual, and kind guide. A satisfying experience in wonderful places
Wonderful unique experience
We were not able to finish lunch.
100% legal guide I really enjoyed the experience but I found that I'm not suited to be a sailor because I felt too sick on the boat
It was an incredible experience, the place is truly something cinematic, a true Brazilian Caribbean. I would like to especially thank the guide Patríck for all the attention and care during the tour and the entire Luck Receptivo team.
From the first contact for package negotiation, the service was exemplary. I booked 3 tours, one of them didn't close because there wasn't a minimum number, and the company was super transparent, offering other tours or a refund. The guides made all the difference: Glória (northern coast), Patrick (islands). They were very attentive, caring, and explained the points with all the history of the place. "Mr. Josemir", the driver who took us. Passionate!
Guide Patrick who accompanied us on the tour, very attentive, great tour,
The experience was very good, we loved the tour, the guide was extremely attentive. And nature was a spectacle!
Great experience with Patrick. The trip was very beautiful and invigorating.
Patrick, super nice guy! Enchanting Frades Island Sea.
Great translation, punctual, and the guide was very attentive, very dear! I will take more trips when I return to the city 💙🦋
With Luck receptive there is no mistake! Wonderful experience in Morro de São Paulo! The guide Daiane Lemos was very attentive, helpful and knowledgeable of the destination. Passed all the information with clarity, guided us during the walk and made everything more peaceful and pleasant. Besides being very friendly, she showed care with everyone and made all the difference in the experience. Super recommend the guide and would definitely do other tours with it! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Great experience, polite guides, great place
All perfect. The guide is excellent. Very attentive and helpful. Daí is nota mil
Very dear guide, friendly and helpful. I highly recommend!!
Very good walk. Group and crew of the boat very excited👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
To be perfect, the church of Loreto should be part of the script.
Great tour, excellent tour guide, dear Sergio.
Very welcoming the guide Sergio, and the driver Robson. Just to thank for the attention of the professionals involved.
Very good walk, all wonderful.
An unforgettable walk! Beautiful and paradisiac place, all powered by the attention and competence of guide Léo and the Apollonius team.
The tour was simply wonderful, perfect from beginning to end. From the attention and availability on WhatsApp, to all the details, with emphasis on the guides who were tireless in passing us all the information about each step of the tour, each place visited, always with a lot of availability, kindness and joy! I confess that I always had reservations for escunas tours, but this tour showed me that if you are in Salvador and with Lucky, there is no mistake! Tomorrow we have another trip with Lucky and the expectation is the best possible!
The seats are great, but missed some prior information of additional fees that arose inside the boat.
It was an amazing walk. All very organized. Ale is a super attentive guide with a beautiful energy. Super recommend
We love the walks. The guide Alê is very attentive and dear! Always cheerful and attentive to everyone’s needs. Excellent tour, excellent guide!
