Lemon sharks in Sal - We went on our own at 8.30 in the morning so were the first people there. One of the locals approached us, which we had become vary wary of with the amount you get harassed everywhere you go on the island, but he was very friendly and helpful. We paid €5 each and in return he let me use some of the sea shoes they have (basically crocs) which they had many sizes of and were all clean. He then took us out to where the sharks were and used fish bait to entice them over. The sharks were completely harmless and occasionally bumped into our legs. He then told us a bit of information about them and stayed with us for a good half an hour.

Highly recommended - We were picked up outside our hotel and returned within 3 hours. Safely driven minibus with well informed guide who was a marine biologist. We booked through TUI, and would recommend that route to booking. The beach area is very underdeveloped so have a few euro coins to use the toilet! We hired crocs for 3euro to walk safely in the water. This trip is not over subscribed, so there was plenty space between groups. And all visitors were respectful of the staff and wildlife! And of course we saw plenty lemon sharks! 🦈 Amazing life experience!

Shark excursion - Great experience! The guides were top we saw plenty of sharks big and small. If you don’t have the right shoes, they’ll lend you shoes so you can go in the water

COULD NOT UNDERSTAND GUIDE. - Boring, only tiny shakes, not as advertised. Guide was not English, hard to understand on a trip that we only booked as it was supposed to be in English. Not worth the money
