Top Salvador da Bahia Day Cruises

This full-day adventure will allow you to enjoy both the magnificent panoramic views Salvador offers, as well as discover its rich history, extraordinary architecture, and dynamic culture, result of the blend of Portuguese, African and Indigenous people. We will see the city from different angles, discovering the Lower City, with its bucolic interior atmosphere, around the calm waters of the All Saints Bay, and continuing to the tip of the Itapagipe Peninsula, the extreme west part of Salvador, and then the Upper City with its Historic Center – the cradle of our city’s history.

The tour begins when the schooner leaves the Nautical Terminal towards the first island. A contemplative journey within the Baía de Todos os Santos, at the exit we have the São Marcelo Fort, the city of Salvador seen from the sea, the Itapagipe peninsula, Monte Serrat Fort, the Bonfim Church and other attractions. We head towards Ilha dos Frades where calm, crystal clear waters invite us to take a swim, there are natives as well as a snack and a cold drink, we stay for around 2 hours. Next we go to Itaparica Island. Where we will have lunch at a restaurant on the beach, a buffet with good homemade food. Then just relax on the sand or warm waters of the Itaparica sea. At 3:30 pm our guide begins boarding. On the way back, you can enjoy the sunset at our Todos os Santos Bay. Time: SSA-Frades 1:40; Frades-Itaparica 0:40; Itaparica-SSA 1:10.
