Worst trip made in Porto de Galinhas

Exactly on the morning of 08/25, the salesman Allan from the Brasil Tur agency approached us offering a tour to Carneiros Beach, guaranteeing safety, comfort, agility, quality among others, such as a minimum of 30 minutes at each visiting point and that we would leave the next day. He also asked for an entrance fee of R$50 per person. And so we did it. The next day, Andreia arrived, who initially received us well, and was very friendly during the journey. But this scenario changed when we arrived at the boarding pier, the guide left us alone, and the Catamaran was delayed, we arrived at the location around 9:15, and exactly at 10:10 I sent a message both to the guide Andréia, who told us she didn't know what time the departure would be, it is worth remembering that at that exact moment she was no longer at the location, I contacted the salesman Andre and he had not responded, and the catamaran left after 11 am, without any support from the Brasil Tour team. And the time at the visiting locations was only 10 to 15 min. And upon the return from the mini tour, we were waiting at the restaurant, and again another delay, it was scheduled for 3 pm and no one came to pick us up, all the other tourists had already left, and the restaurant employee approached us worriedly and asked who our guide was. After a few moments Andreia arrived. It is worth noting that the amount paid per person was R$150 per person, and that on the same tour there were people who paid R$80. For the price charged, we were not offered what they had mentioned; on the contrary, we were thrown out, and this should not happen to any tourist. And at Pousada Porto Sol Flats Aft By, there are ads and employees from Brasil Tour, since the incident the salesman Allan has not appeared there. I contacted him to ask for a minimum refund, and he said he could give a discount, I said that I had already paid a very inflated amount compared to other agencies and that the experience I had with them would not make me relive the worst tour I took in Porto de Galinhas of all the times I visited.

Port of Chicken with the Paradise Route

I traveled to Porto de Galinhas with the family in June/26 and we were super well received already at Recife Airport by Marcio da Rota Paraíso. We stayed 7 days in Porto and we know the whole region (Carneiros, Maragogi, Isla de Santo Aleixo, Calhetas, Recife and Olinda and buggy end to end. Super recommend the guide Marcio, very polite, knows the whole region well. I leave your contact to those interested: 81985187137

Abusive collection

It is an absurd beach inaccessible, I am a tourist, but the locals also have the right, the servitude was a shame, having to pay for parking all right, but pay per person, and still have consumption, is a direct abuse of the consumer. I felt exploited, I didn't even get in.

Truths about sheep

The water is like this only in the pictures. Getting there the water is muddy. To get to this place has to pass perrengue and is not worth it. Go through the mango, dirty water. I do not recommend

Disappointment!

It was very disappointing to visit Carneiros. We booked a tour leaving Porto de Galinhas and, upon arrival, we stayed in a very good receptive called Bora Bora, located right in front of the natural pools, which are really beautiful. The disappointment began on the catamaran ride. The first stop was in the little church, which was extremely crowded, with many boats, tents and people. The sand space is small, the church was closed and we only had about 15 minutes to take photos from the outside. Then there was the stop for the so-called “bath of clay”, which was quite strange. They were stalls with colorful clay, where people dirty themselves in the sea, without any attraction or organization. This stop also lasted about 15 minutes. The last stop was at a sand bank in the middle of the sea, which could be beautiful, but it ended up being pretty polluted visually. There were several tents and artificial settings (networks, balances) aimed only for photos, and still charged to use them. All this ends up hiding the natural beauty of the place. For those who want to go, the tip is: the catamaran ride is not worth it. What really pays off are the natural pools that are on the shore.
