5.00Elvin Tours is certainly the best choice for any activity/excursion on the island of Sal. The tour was taught by one of your guides named Yanick, an excellent guide and a great person. It was also accompanied by a photographer who offered you without any obligation if you wanted the photos that had been taken all day giving you the possibility to see them quietly to finally decide if you wanted them as a memory or not (I for the price and the quality and incredible photos he made us did not hesitate to accept this extra) Very grateful to all of them for the excellent day we spent!

5.00We are brightly enthusiastic, seen so much of the island in one day and experienced a lot. At no stop was the clock looked at, simply top. And the guide was just great.
Island tour highly recommended

5.00We were on the island of Sal from 1.7 to 15.7.25 and, by recommendation, did the island tour with Elvin. We were a group of 8 people and it was an experience we would gladly recommend. We were picked up at 9h in front of our hotel in the morning and brought back there around 4h. The nice thing was that Elvin speaks German very well and could explain everything to us. Our tour operator also offered the tour (at a cost of 120€ per person), but a highlight of the tour was not included: Shark Bay...that should have been booked separately. Elvin Tours included this excursion point. And we only paid a third of what the tour operator wanted. It was also charming that we were allowed to attend a private birthday party. The islanders are very welcoming and it was just fun. The journey to the HotSpots was very adventurous in places, but the trails have to go everyone, including the tour operators. Our tip: take something to drink and eat. Otherwise, there is nothing against booking with Elvin. We got to know all the hotspots on the island: Port of Santa Maria, Blue Eye, SharkBay, Salt Lake, Fatamorgana... And Elvin is really a cool guy, we enjoyed the tour a lot. Tanja and Mike

4.002nd booking with Elvin Tour, recommended for seriousness and professionalism. Visiting the beach with turtles was an exceptional and unforgettable experience. Our group had the chance to see them laying eggs, we were able to follow the steps from beginning to end: from laying eggs to returning to the sea. The instructions given are very clear and really respectful of the animals and their welfare: do not disturb them whether by too much proximity, light or noise. Please be serious when booking, these living beings offer us a wonderful and unique moment, some tourists unfortunately forget it.
Perfect 👌

5.00The Elvin day tour is great! We go through the most beautiful places on the island, driver and guide really take the time to let us appreciate and are adorable. Our guide provided us with a lot of information. The experience with lemon sharks is great! Finishing with Salinas is great to end this beautiful day. I really recommend;-)
Not great.

3.00A driver who is late, so-called Francophone, but who only speaks to Portuguese. A meal not at 12 € but rather 20 € per person, no visit to Santa Maria so no school visit....but the encounter with sharks is perfect thanks to the locals who give explanations....excursion to compare with other providers a little more serious
Good day
