“Guide was excellent very friendly and informative during entire trip. Picked up on time and back at resort exactly when they said we would be. Fantastic service and would recommend this to everyone. Take plenty of water especially to wash your face with after the salt lake. Deffo need crocs or sea shoes for shark bay as is very stony and sliders or flip Flops just ain’t gonna do it. There were stalls at shark bay but no pressure to buy souvenirs there . Great day”

Explore Sal Island’s Blue Eye, lemon sharks, salt lakes, desert mirage, fishing villages, and coastal views on a full-day tour.

“Nice day out on a small island. Bus was good, driver and guide (Fabio) were great. Nice group vibe, Germans, French, English and even a few Portuguese. Shark bay is cool, basic but really authentic. Lunch in local restaurant was nice, local cooking and friendly people. Other stops weren’t super exciting, but it’s all a part of the day. Only gripe would be that €6 entry each for salt flats is a little steep for what it is. All in all worth the money and we would recommend a first time visitor to do it once.”

“Aucune interaction avec le guide Babacar qui s’est contenté de nous transporter d’un point à un autre sans aucune explication. Sur les questions posées, pas de réponse à donner . Sûrement un guide PAS local qui était constamment avec son téléphone et ses oreillettes et qui n’en avait clairement rien à faire . Arrêt requins de 10 minutes à peine, moyennant 3 euros par paire de chaussures. Toujours aucune explication sur la faune observée . Ni sur l’exploitation de la mine de Sel. Finalement excursion sans trop d’intérêts. Quel dommage !”

“Det var en rejäl skrubb med salt och därefter bad i saltvattnet, direkt efter det fick vi en lerinpackning och sedan bad igen. Det bjöds på en drink före och det var en härlig upplevelse men efter detta så blev dom det svårt att åka på andra turer för alla har saltbad i Salinas i sina utflykter. (gjorde det ett nytt bad för det var skönt). Värt pengarna och en trevlig stund med lite avkoppling.”
