What a journey !!!!! Honestly, I never wanted that day to be finished ! Great crue, awesome band, amusant and dedicated photograph. You have to try the best cocktail made on the boat by the bartender. It is something coloured in red somehow. Do not miss it !

Basically from those 8 hours you are spending more then half of them on a boat. The driver brought us by car and was good in English. After that they only spoke Portugese. At the first stop the guide gave the info in Portugese and left the boat as first. We did not knew what we had to do on the island & where and at what time we had to be back. We had to contact the company to get more information. You were only 1,5h on that island which was only enough time to explore the beach. Also you had to pay to enter the island. The second stop we had lunch. The buffet was excellent! If you wanted to explore the island you had to pay extra. Again you only had 2 hours for exploring which is not that much. The band on the boat were nice and the cocktails looked good. If you love sitting at calm beaches and understand Portugese, this is a good tour. If you think you can “explore” the islands with a guide then don’t book. When we arrived back we had to book our own taxi!! Not a private tour!
