Sal - Get out for an adventurous sightseeing tour that is perfect for discovering the desert and, the hidden treasures of this popular and most deserted destination. This trip will take you to Salt Lake Salinas of Pedra de Lume, the second saltiest water in the world after the Dead Sea, an incredible lake where you can lie down and float, even if you can’t swim, and you will be left with smooth skin as if you had a natural scrub. Next, you will travel to Buracona, where you will see the “Blue Eye”, one of the 7 wonders of the island and its natural pool, where you will have time to swim in its crystal clear waters if the conditions are ideal for bathing.
Then you will move on to Miragem, where you will see the fata morgana effect of water illusions in the desert. Admire the natural reserve of Murdeira Bay and enjoy the beautiful view of Lion mountain. At the end, you will visit Shark Bay, where you will experience lemon sharks in their natural habitat up close.
Enjoy a half-day island tour and visit places like Blue Eye, Miragem, Salinas Salt lake and Shark Bay. Swim in the salt lake and Buracona natural pool with your group, before heading out to sea to see some lemon sharks.

Blue eye and sharks bay - Picked up from the hotel ontime and Nanny our guide was very informative and funny. We went to see the sharks and although we received emails saying we can wear our own sliders this was not allowed and Nanny lent us the money to hire the crocs. Great experience and would highly recommend.

Magnificent Experience in Sal Cape Verde - It was the first time I went to a guide and researched a lot until I chose this company, the price factor weighed a lot, it was the cheapest company on the island I found and the reviews were also
Nice. We contacted via WhatsApp to confirm the visit and the necessary material and the time of collection, on the day of the visit also informed us that they would be a little late. We went to know the whole island to tourist places like shells cemetery, buracona, spargos, see the lemon sharks, the Salinas, the fishing port, to know the culture and the places where the population with the most difficulties live, to the Bairro de lata. We still had lunch at a very good local restaurant. We loved the experience and the guide Jackson who was tireless during the 8h of the tour provided a magnificent visit, explained everything and even took photos to the whole group.

To make eyes wide open - The 4h tour is ok to visit the main sites, cross the desert accompanied by history of the island, its anecdotes to industrial, social and other enriching points of interestq without too much, just what it takes.
I could see a mirage, I loved it 😍 🙏
The different visit points are well defined and organized to make the most of it.
Humor and courtesy are on the cards.
I recommend this excursion as not time consuming.
Thanks to the team and the organization 👍

Sal all inclusive tour - Great trip. Punctual on timing picking up, went to see various locations, including the salt lake, the "blue eye", dessert, and the lemon sharks. Some amazing views. Particular praise for, Vanessa, the tour guide. Not only explained the tour highlights but about life, people and history of this island which was very insightful and gave a real feel for the place. It is not an all day tour which we preferred as they can be quite laborious and tiresome. Would recommend.

Watch out for scam - Very nice town, take the walk along the beach, go to the pontoon to see the fishermen. Be careful, when you walk, people approach you by presenting themselves as staff of the hotel where you stay to sell you products at exorbitant prices, real professionals of the scam.

Friendly Viste - Transportation from the hotel is offered.
The guide was super friendly, very involved, it is really given to the full, to give a lot of information and anecdotes and frankly, BRAVO to him!
As for the content of the tour, the visit to the capital of Espargos Island is nice. The Blue Eye site is to be done, but be careful, we see nothing if there is no sun. Shark Bay is great, sharks sometimes brush our legs and are really between us (plan a GoPro). The lake and the Salt mine is nice. to see and especially to swim to have the sensation of flotation out of the norm (do not forget a bottle of water for this rinse, it is essential and the shower there is paid).
Friends of ours took the option "guide on the beach" at 20€/pers. but they were disappointed (we pressed them on the sites, so not too much time to look)
