With long stretches of unspoilt beach and a rich cultural heritage – Sal has all the ingredients for a perfect day trip. This tour packs in the best sights, including Buracona lagoon and Pedra de Lume salt flats. To top it off, there's a traditional Cape Verdean lunch, and you'll get a glimpse of laidback, local life in Espargos and Palmeira. Rodrigo, one of our local guides, says, ‘Pedra de Lume is in the middle of a volcanic crater, and you reach it via a tunnel. You can sometimes pick up compressed salt crystals the size of a golf ball, while at other times the salt is so hard that you walk on the pans.'

Turtle Watching Adventure

After picking up customers from their hotels at 8:00 PM, our group heads towards the beach. Upon arrival, you'll witness a fascinating sight as the guide introduces you to the turtles, explaining what to expect and how the process unfolds. Patience is key, as the turtles are cautious creatures—if they don't feel secure, they won't come ashore. You'll observe as the turtle carefully selects a spot on the beach, prepares the ground, and begins digging. If the sand isn't suitable, the turtle will search for a better location. Once satisfied, it will lay between 65 to 100 eggs. After completing this delicate process, the turtle covers the nest and camouflages it before returning to the sea. This extraordinary experience concludes with a return trip to your hotel, ensuring you have a memorable and educational evening witnessing the wonders of nature on Sal Island.
