Get out for an adventurous sightseeing tour that’s perfect to discover the desert, the beaches, the hidden treasures of this popular destination and more wilderness. This trip will take you to salt flats of Santa Maria and riding on its surrounding sand dunes before continuing to the white sands of Kite Beach. Get to know Pedra Lume Salt Caldera an extinct volcano filled with salty seawater (The Lake is the second saltiest lake after the Dead Sea, so you really do float much better than any normal sea or lake). In Palmeira at the Pier there are always locals doing fun jumps into the ocean. The fisherman will place the fish on the floor which you can buy.
Enjoy a full day island tour and visit places like Shark bay, Salinas salt lake, Espargos city, Buracona Blue Eye, Kite Beach, Santa Maria, Miragem, Palmeira fisherman village and Murdeira bay. Swim in Salt Lake with your group, and have lunch at a local restaurant before going into the sea to see some lemon sharks.

4.00This trip was an excellent way to see around the island. It took in all the most popular locations however I felt that some of it was rushed and that more time could have been spent at some of the areas. It was also difficult to hear what the guide was telling us as at times due to him still driving and some of the roads that he was travelling on were practically non existent and full of stones and big holes.
An excellent tour.

5.00Our local guide was most welcoming and informative. The sites visited were numerous with just the right amount of time to take in the scenery and atmosphere of the locations. The spectacular coast surrounding the Blue Eye and bathing in the salt water of the extraordinary Salinas were highlights.
Essential.

5.00Fully recommended. A day to tour and get to know the island of Sal. Very friendly staff. Maybe you see a lot of things and I missed some time to get to know Palmeira. Still a 10.

4.00The trip itself and the guide was fantastic. However we stopped at a local restaurant for our lunch and had the national dish of cachupa. When I arrived back at my hotel I was violently sick for 12 hours. Therefore I would recommend taking your bow no lunch and drinks with you.
Perfect overview of Sal
