Great day!

Ariel was excellent! He gave us all the info we needed. TAMAR lived up to expectations. I thought after reading some reviews we'd find the conditions sad, on the contrary, everything is clean, well managed and gets you close.to these amazing creatures we must protect. The day was well planned and despite the windy, cloudy day we enjoyed hugely!

Fabulous and Fun Day

Our guide Gabriela’s motto ‘Go against the crowds’ meant that our day was absolutely timed to perfection. She found us the perfect spot and we spent plenty of time at the beach, then with the Turtles, we tried lots of delicious local snacks and learnt a lot about local customs. What made our day most enjoyable was Gabriela herself, she is so easy going, has a beautiful smile and we chatted about literally everything. She was also super helpful in recommending further things to do in Salvador and even when we travelled back to Rio, she sent us information. Communication was excellent, We would give this trip Six stars ⭐️

Praia do Forte beautiful trip

Ariel was a great guide and we really enjoyed our time both at Praia do Forte and Guarajuba beach. The only downside is that it takes long time to pick everyone up - too many inconsiderate people who aren't ready in time

Good trip...once you get going...

The trip itself was good, and Rodriguez is an energetic guide, who clearly enjoys his job. Thank you... The organization of the trip, could be improved. The pick up time, at my hotel was identified as 07:00. Since I always endeavour to be on time, I was out front at 06:55. As I waited outside and saw 2 tour vans go by, I thought this is the one...no such luck, then 2 school buses go by. At 07:25 I text to ask what the delay is and I was informed that I needed to walk down to the main street and along to a bus stop, as the road I am on is too small. Clearly it is not given the traffic I saw go by. This 10 minute walk, wasn't such a big deal because I am fit - were I not it could have been an issue - I also didn't argue as my street is a one way and it would have added time to the route. I was finally picked up at 07:45 and we then we spent the next 45 ish minutes driving to the other hotels to collect the other participants. Forte Beach was timed well for me as I only wanted to do the Tamar Project and not the snorkeling or dune buggy and so I shopped. Lunch at Guarajuba Beach was excellent and the beach beautiful with plenty of time to enjoy both! The return trip also took a long time because of the additional time driving to everyone's hotels to drop them off. This added an hour, since I was 2nd last. Further, the same excuse about the road being to narrow was given and I was dropped off at the corner and had to walk up and since I spent most of the day sitting I didn't argue...Please do not tell me to be ready at 07:00 and make me wait. ~Addendum a huge dump truck went by this morning and actually backed into a construction site with no issues.

Salvador da Bahia

Know before you go

Praia do Forte is a great place for a variety of outdoor activities—besides swimming and other water sports, enjoy horseback riding on the beach, buggy tours, or hiking and cycling in the surrounding rain forest.
Add some beach shoes to your beach bag if you plan to explore the tide pools, as the rocks can be slippery.
Beach bars may charge for tables and umbrellas, or require the purchase of food, but you can normally stay as long as you like. Prices may vary, so shop around—and take cash instead of credit cards.
