Private Tour of Sal Island

Your adventure begins with a convenient pickup from your hotel in Santa Maria at a prearranged time, setting the stage for an unforgettable journey through Sal, an island that will surely leave a lasting impression!

The inaugural stop will be Kite Beach, a popular venue for various water sports events, renowned for its strong winds. After soaking in the beauty of this celebrated beach, we’ll proceed to Porto Palmeira, a charming fishing village where you can stroll through and admire the vibrant houses.

Our adventure continues at the Pedra da Lume salt flat, where you'll have the chance to swim in a unique therapeutic salt lake, which is positioned inside a volcanic caldera—the only one of its kind in the world.

Once you've had the opportunity to unwind, our tour takes us to the mystical salt desert of Miragem, where an interesting optical phenomenon awaits. Next, we'll head to Buracona, where you will enjoy an hour to explore and swim in the Blue Eye Cave, a natural pool celebrated as one of the seven wonders of Sal Island.

After enjoying the lagoon, we'll make our way to Shark Bay, a location where you can encounter lemon sharks in their natural environment.
