5.00A great day. From an easy pick up to a fun and informative day filled with the sights and sounds of Cape Verde. Didn’t feel rushed but definitely got our monies worth. Thank you to Tony and the driver for making the day so enjoyable. Have already recommended to others! Great value for money and a fantastic experience.
Full and rewarding excursion 🤩

5.00This full-day excursion is a must. Our guide Toni was great. Even though this tour was only offered in English, some have been experienced. And if nothing works anymore you can still communicate with your hands.😉

4.00Nice day to change from the pool Attention there is nothing exceptional to see on Sal. Only the visit of sharks and swimming in the lake changes Nothing exceptional D but it's not the guide's fault
Great experience

5.00This was a brilliant way to see Sal's main attractions all in one day. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly, and we learned a lot about the island. There were 7 people in our group and we chose to ride in the back of the pickup. Windy but fun! Just be sure to bring money for the optional extras/lunch. Lunch was at a local restaurant - food was delicious
Lemon Sharks Amazing!!!!

5.00Excellent day touring the island, pick up 9am and finished at 15:30. KiKi very knowledgeable and friendly. Well worth the trip. Highlights were sharks and the salt lake. Some useful hints: Crocs/swim shoes for sharks- can rent for €2. Wear swimwear for sharks, you’re going to get wet. Lunch looked nice- although I didn’t partake. Would say it didn’t look the best for vegetarians (we had one in our party) maybe take some food with.
Excellent experience
