What To Expect
Get out for an adventurous sightseeing tour that is perfect for discovering the desert and, the hidden treasures of this popular and most deserted destination. This trip will take you to Salt Lake Salinas of Pedra de Lume, the second saltiest water in the world after the Dead Sea, an incredible lake where you can lie down and float, even if you can't swim, and you will be left with smooth skin as if you had a natural scrub. Next, you will travel to Buracona, where you will see the "Blue Eye", one of the 7 wonders of the island and its natural pool, where you will have time to swim in its crystal clear waters if the conditions are ideal for bathing. Then you will move on to Miragem, where you will see the fata morgana effect of water illusions in the desert. Admire the natural reserve of Murdeira Bay and enjoy the beautiful view of Lion mountain. At the end, you will visit Shark Bay, where you will experience lemon sharks in their natural habitat up close. Enjoy a half-day island tour and visit places like Blue Eye, Miragem, Salinas Salt lake and Shark Bay. Swim in the salt lake and Buracona natural pool with your group, before heading out to sea to see some lemon sharks.

5.00Great half day tour with Kyle aka Kiki! Very informative and humorous. All areas were equally beautiful and a great tour around the island. Lovely to also see and learn about the local culture. We travelled with our toddler and young child and this was perfect. The lemon sharks in particular were great 😊- highly recommend.
Great Experience

5.00Great morning out, really well organised and our guide Kiki was very good. The three stops were brilliant. Be ready for a bumpy journey in the minibus but worth it.
Unique experience at Shark Bay, Blue Eye and Salt Lake

5.00Great experience. Our guide told us a lot about the island. A stop in a shop was also there😊. But nothing had to be bought.

5.00A great morning out around the island. Tony our guide was excellent, he told us about the history of the island and gave us lots of information on each area that we visited. We saw the mirage, the blue eye, the lemon sharks and ended with a swim in the salt lakes. This was a great order of events as finished with the wet ones, but we noticed other tours did theirs in different orders. Getting wet first, then staying wet, was not the best order of doing things we felt. So well done Tony and Sal Experiences for an excellent trip!
Ok, but not great

3.00The places we visited were interesting, but my issue with this tour was that we weren't told how long we had in each place, but left to our own devices. It meant that most of us were back at the coach earlier than we needed to be and were then waiting for our guide. The stop at the 'fishing village' was pointless - just a stop to go to a gift shop, really.
Get proper shoes, as...
