Private Creative Pictures Full Day Island Tour (Off Road inc.)
Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
Pink Pick-up car, top Sal's attractions plus off-road gems spiced up with funny pictures and more - that is Franek Foto Tour in a nutshell.
I will take you to the most popular spots on Sal Island such as Kite Beach, Buracona, Murdeira, Salinas (both those close to Santa Maria, as well as in Pedra de Lume – the latter we will see however from out-of-the-box view).
But what I want to show you is less known, yet stunning sights of the island. My tour goes partly off-road – we will go to the places where ony quads or 4x4 vehicles can go. It will be also a trip in time - I will show you some medical plants and places that have traces of how Sal used to look like. If ocean conditions are favourable, we will also swim in natural swimming pools.
Every tour us different and tailored according to the needs of my guests and we stop in every place as long as you wish. So you can leave your watch at the hotel, but please do not forget to bring your swimming suit, sun cream and camera!

5.00Francisco took very good care of us. He has interesting details to tell. which was perfect for us. Not too much and not too little - just right. The mounted sunroof was great, so you could often sit outside without burning! Francisco is a good and careful driver. we felt very comfortable with him. All the stops were super selected and he had cool photo ideas. The results of the photos make us very happy and we had a exceptionally nice day! Thanks!!!!

5.00Lovely trip of the island - seeing the salt pans, the salt lake abd the old salt extraction village, the Martian landscape, the town of Espargos,m with mini Pretoria, the sea caves and the Blue Eye. The highlight was walking into the bay full of lemon sharks and have these amazing creatures swim around us and through our legs with no fear. Thank you for a wonderful experience
Highly recommended tour

5.00Highly recommended. Francisco was great. He showed us the whole island at our own pace since we were traveling with a small child, giving us all kinds of explanations. It was great!!!! Although it may be a little more expensive to do it privately, it is well worth it.

5.00We did the excursion on the 28th with Franek (he likes Polish). You visit all the points worth seeing on the island and Franek tells you about island life. You can see he has experience with tourists, and the fun part is the creative photos he takes. Fun and recommendable.
Great experience

5.00You don't want to miss this Pink Panther trip during your visit to Sal. Franek is - besides a friendly (multilingual) guide - a fantastic driver with an incredible knowledge about the island and also, a creative photographer who has a lot of ideas how to take the most funny pictures in order to make your day trip an unforgettable experience with great memories to take back home. Thanks again, Franek! We absolutely enjoyed this trip and had a fantastic day.
Great day in Sal
