Hop on an off-roading vehicle and explore Sal Island, one of the most popular islands in Cape Verde. You'll even spot lemon sharks!

Tour Details

At the designated time, we'll pick you up at your hotel to begin the tour of Sal Island. First, we'll pass the beach of Kite, famous for kitesurfing, until we reach the fishing town of Porto Palmeira, where we’ll see local fish sales.

Next, we’ll drive to the historic town of Pedra de Lume, the first on Sal Island. Here, you’ll see the old houses of the salt workers, notable for their architecture from over 50 years ago.

We’ll then stop to swim in the salt craters of Pedra de Lume, the only salt lake inside a volcanic caldera in the world. With warm waters, it resembles a natural spa. We will also explain the benefits this site offers.

From here, we’ll head to Buracona Lagoon, a natural pool, and Shark Bay, the optimal location to spot lemon sharks in their habitat. Before returning, we’ll stop at Murdeira Bay and Espargos, the administrative capital of the island.

Finally, we’ll return to the starting point, concluding the tour after 7.5 hours.
