Exciting and Fun!!!
We were allowed to sit in the open air bit at the back of the 4x4! It was amazing! I love floating in the salt lake it’s so relaxing.

Great half day tour of Sal
Our private half day tour was a great experience with Nani as our driver and guide. He was obviously very knowledgable and had loads of stories and information about where we were travelling through. Shark Bay and Pedra da Lume were particular highlights!

Sal experiences were...
Sal experiences were professional and informative. Highly recommend this quick trip to see the salt lake.

Family half day tour of Sal
The 3 hour tour was sufficient but I do advise to wear hard sole water shoes like crocks when going to see the lemon sharks. If not have you can hire for 2€ which enables you to walk comfortably out to see the sharks. Also suggest if you have water shoes for beach do wear them when you enter the salt lake. You must rub the mud from the lake onto your body for an amazing experience.

Baby sharks still a bit scary
Kiki was a great guide with sense of humour and informative about history of salt mine and Sal. You will pay 2 euro for shoes to see sharks and 6 euros to enter the Salinas (salt lake)

A must do excursion in Sal
Visiting the Salt Lake and seeing the lemon Sharks were enjoyable experiences. The guides were informative and helpful. The transport was an old bone shaker of a minibus which didn’t make you feel completely safe.

Good experience
The tour was very good with a knowledgeable guide.
The salt lakes were great fun.
The blue eye was amazing but you can only see it when the sun is out!

A once in a lifetime experience
The Shark Bay with the small sharks swimming around your feet is something I recommend for everyone visiting Cape Verde.
The shallow water was to my knees and quite windy so my skirt got wet - in the warm sun it didn't take long for it to dry. Short would have been better though.
Slippery, so swimming shoes on.

Great half day trip with excellent guide
The half day trip was great and we enjoyed it very much. Kiki was an excellent guide who made us laugh. The sites we visited were close to each other and it was well planned. Highly recommended. Thank you very much!

Great guided tour
Kiki is a charming guide and good driver. He and his colleague gave us a very memorable trip to the lemon sharks followed by a swim in a salt lake. We even saw a turtle swimming in the marina at Pedro de luna. Booked only the day before but nothing was too much trouble. All arrangements very slick and relaxed. The tour is a perfect length too.
