    Amazing visit and photo sessions, starting with pickup at the hotel, Diving with sharks in a unique experience. Best feeling in the world floating in the Salina de Pedra de Lumi, simple and healthy lunch at Mama Elsa's house. It was a fun day, full of emotions, I highly recommend it.

    Definitely a 10/10 experience Ranging from the pickup at the hotel, to the amazing tour guide with all the fun facts and local knowledge, to the beautiful location that we explore such as the Salinas De Santa Maria, the snorkeling with sharks where we were face to face with them, the termal water at Salinas De Pedra de Lume and last but not least the extraordinary lunch at a local family home of Mama Elsa (such an angel) to end our day with the home cooking food. A SUPERB EXPERIENCE INDEED!

    This tour was the best tour of my life it was wonderful, I learned about the history of Sal Island that I didn't know, visiting salt flats and swimming with sharks was amazing, it was my first time swimming, it couldn't have been better, an experience that I will take with me for life, the guide was wonderful, super attentive and a lot of fun. I highly recommend this tour to everyone, you won't regret this unique experience, not to mention the homemade food that Mama Elsa made was very delicious. Thank you very much for the experience.

    Bathing in the saline water is a fantastic experience. Negative point showers are paid apart and have to move a few "m" on foot

  • From start to finish great experience

    From the moment we meet our driver Vandy we knew we were in safe hands. Turned up spot on time and from the offset told us where we were going and what we doing. A wonderful experience from Shark Island to The Salt Mines with an excellent guide. Would highly recommend.
