5.00It was incredible day! We had a guy called Hamilton (Hams) and he did an amazing job! First stop was unique reserve with breathtaking views. Second one was lemon sharks experience. They swam around our legs! I've never had so closed contact with wild animals. The next stop was salty mine. You can't sink! We made exfoliation for our bodies. The next stop was mirage in the desert.We went to the port and we saw the fish market there.We had time for lunch with very tasty local food. The last stop with 180°C view was from the top of the our tour guide home town. Absolutely fabulous day out!

5.00Excellent tour, was just the right balance of seeing the best sights in Sal and having experiences. Chan, our host, was very friendly, charismatic, and knowledgeable, with just the right mix of providing facts with touches of humour. One of our favourite parts was going to his home town for lunch at a local restaurant (Dreams), which was clean and had tasty food, this made the whole experience more personal. Thoroughly recommended.
Beautiful discoveries ...
