Perfect experience

Wonderful experience, great and very competent guides and drivers, the tour was wonderful even though the strong winds prevented the navy from allowing us to do the full tour, but it was perfect anyway, it didn't matter!

It’s just too much.

Six hours round-trip in a van is not worth it. The music on the boat is loud and mostly in Portuguese. They move around too often. 30 minutes is not enough time to barely make it to the beach before it’s time to turn around and go back. It would be better to spend more time at less beaches. I was picked up at 7 AM and was returned to the hotel at 9 PM. A very, very long day.
