What To Expect
Santa Maria
The Spinach Tours route passes through several tourist attractions on the island of Sal, starting in Santa Maria.
Ponta do Sino
Ponta do Sinó is located at the southern tip of the island. It's a place dedicated to protecting beaches and is like a five-star resort for our shelled friends, turtles and an authentic convention of local and migratory birds. The picturesque lighthouse offers stunning views of the island and the Atlantic Ocean.

5.00We went out with Harley who was just fabulous! We saw the shell beach and went to the salt lakes stopping at other places on the way. The spinach cars are fun! Loved bombing around in these. We were a family of four so had two cars, we are in our late fifties, kids late 20's so no age limit , just enjoy!. We had a couple of hiccups, one of the cars needed replacing as Harley didnt like the sound of brakes on one. This was done quickly and with no stress!! We stopped at a local home where Harley bought us the most delicious sorbet/ice, much needed after soaking in the salt lakes, lovely and refreshing. We stopped to get charged up allowing us to have a look around town as well, we encoutered an aggressive male unfortunately who seemed to not take no as an answer, which was a real shame, but again Harley stepped in and dealt with him and we walked away. I definately recommend this activity with a guide. We loved it and as we stayed close by we continued to bump into Harley, we will miss you 😀🥰

5.00Took this tour with my 7 year old son. It’s the best way to tour the island taking us to places we would not have reached. Antonio our guide was fantastic. The electric cars were lots of fun. This is the tour to do & very good for younger children.

5.00Exploring Sal in a Spinach was the perfect mix of fun and learning! The electric car was comfy, and the tablet guide made sure we didn't miss a thing. If you're looking for a different plan, this is it!
Fantastic and fun experience

5.00We had a fantastic tour, and found the audio guide informative and funny. We have quite a dry sense of humour and found ourselves laughing out loud with some comments. The cars take a bit of getting used to, but it was good fun. Edvin went ahead of us, so we simply had to follow him around, but in addition, he was very informed and helpful about some of the locations we stopped at. Very happy to recommend this company and this tour.
Don't walk under the sun, take a spinach car!

5.00The staff is very friendly, the booking process it's easy, all was ready when arrived at the shop. Even though the roads in Santa Maria are a bit bumpy the car is quite comfortable. The information that is given during the tour gives you a good overview of the history of the island without being boring. It's the best way to know Santa Maria without having to take a long and boring walking tour.
