“Hola, es un paseo que no aclara de ante mano que cuando llegás al lugar tenes que tomar una camioneta que te la cobra 60 reales por persona, porque el tour se hace con esa empresa. Uno va creyendo que son los mismos te hacen el tour pero no lo aclara, o sea que el precio es mas caro de lo que indica el paseo. En cuanto a lo visitado, se puede hacer perfectamente a pie, sin necesidad de esas camionetas, que es como debió ser. Gracias saludos.”

Review of Porto de Galinhas from Recife, with natural pools, optional buggy rides, beach time, transport tips, and practical advice.

“On a payé la totalité du prix alors que rien n'a été proposé. Durant le trajet le guide nous explique l'agenda du jour. 20 minutes plus tard nous avons reçu un message que ni la sortie en bateau ni la plongée était possible à cause de la marée. Le diner aurait été payabt aussi. Le transport assez nul. Le chauffeur roulait à max 50km/h et la clim était à 18C. Quand. on a demandé à la lever à 20 C il s'est fâché. pas du tout a recommender!”

“Dia perfeito! Olinda faz jus ao nome. Com guia e motorista, o passeio se torna muito mais proveitoso! Gostaria de ter tido a oportunidade de comer no restaurante Oficina do Sabor, que dizem ser inesquecível, contudo, estava de difícil acesso por conta de ensaio de blocos de Carnaval (fev 2025). Almoçamos no Castelus, bom restaurante (porém caro) den Instituto Ricardo Brennand, que é realmente imperdível!”
