Pedra de Lume + Swim with Sharks

We'll pick you up at your hotel between 1:30 and 2 pm. From there, we'll drive to our first destination, Shark Bay, to see the famous lemon sharks up close. You will have the opportunity to enjoy a 20-minute swim with these sharks.

Next, we'll visit the nearby village of Pedra de Lume, the first settlement on the island of Sal. Here, you will learn about the importance of the salt industry for the island's development, viewing ancient dwellings and tools used for salt extraction.

The highlight of the tour is a visit to the Pedra de Lume salt marshes, the only salt lagoon in the world located in a dormant volcano crater. Finally, you will see the cable car previously used to transport salt from Pedra de Lume.
