A complete tour around the Island, stopping at the most popular attractions in Sal. The time spent in each stop was relatively brief and would've liked to stay longer at some of them, like the salines. Also, we were a bit unlucky with the weather and unable to enjoy a couple of attractions. All in all, it was a good experience and the trip was good value for money.

Hello 😊
Thank you very much for your feedback!
We’re very happy to hear that overall you had a good experience and found the tour to be good value for money 👍
Regarding the time spent at each stop, we completely understand your comment. In group tours, we always try to balance the itinerary so that it’s possible to visit the main highlights of the island in one day. However, we also offer private tours, where the time spent at each location can be adjusted according to your preferences.
We’re also sorry that the weather didn’t help during your visit, as it can indeed affect the experience at some spots on the island.
We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you again on your next visit to Cape Verde ☀️
Best regards,
Evandro Cruz

Tour Operator and our driver/guide were great. Our tour start time was delayed due to our late arrival by boat to the Island and they worked with us to adjust start time while still giving us the full tour.
Wading with the baby lemon sharks was a highlight!

Great chance to see all the main sites of Sal. Elvis is a good guide with a good sense of humour. Got a bit dusty in the back of the truck but only briefly.

We got to explore Sal about Eddy's leadership. He is an enthusiastic person, cheerful and knows a lot to tell. As curious as we are, we got answers to our questions every time.
