We booked a private tour for 2 with Adilson and had an amazing time. He was very friendly and gave us a lot of information throughout the tour!
The sharks and Salinas were a highlight and the view point was great to get a full view of the entire island!
The tour was very well organized from the pick up to the various stops and drop off at the hotel.
We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who is looking to get a full overview of the island.

It was a private tour for two persons, my wife and me, with Adilson. He is a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable and friendly. We learnt a lot about Sal and Cape Verde. We were particularly grateful that he helped my wife who had difficulties in walking. And we could, being only two people, actually sit inside the car cabin instead of the rear outside. Superb experience!

We absolutely loved our time on Sal. Our guide was Nany and we were so grateful to have him. He was extremely knowledgeable about the island, its history and made us feel at ease from the get go. I would recommend doing the tour private as there was no rush whatsoever. The sites were amazing and we lucked out with the weather being able to swim at the blue eye. Nany once again stepped up and took photos for us and even positioned us into some cool photos on the desert. Can’t thank him enough for such an amazingly memorable day!

Baia kite surf, piana del "miraggio", salina, occhio blu e squali limone. PS ci hanno inviato un autista che parlava bene italiano e un SUV coperto. Viaggiare "a cielo aperto" (nella parte scoperta del SUV) non è consigliabile per il sole e il vento.

La excursión por la isla fue muy agradable gracias a la profesionalidad del guía. La isla en su conjunto es interesante, pero fueron sus conentarios, itinerario y paradas lo que hicieron que guera una gran experiencia

Unser Guide Chan hat uns die Highlights aber auch die (noch) verborgene Geheimnisse der Ilha do Sal gezeigt.
Darüberhinaus hat er uns auch Einblicke in das Alltagsleben der Einheimischen gegeben, so dass die Tour über sieben Stunden sehr gelungen war.
Empfehlenswert für jeden!
Response from Host, Jan 2022

Wir arbeiten nur mit professionellen Reiseleitern zusammen und unser Ziel ist es, Ihnen das Beste der Insel Sal zu zeigen und Ihnen ein tolles Erlebnis in Ihrem Urlaub zu bieten. Wir danken Ihnen!
