Sal - 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.

The perfect morning - An excellent morning exploring Sal from top to bottom.
We explored the salt mine where you can lay in the water and float. We explored the lemon sharks (you go into the sea) and a guide will encourage them over with some fish.
Our guide was very friendly and provided us with lots of information.

Fantastic guide - Absolutely fantastic guide. Really knowledgeable with so many stories to tell. It is also a huge benefit to skip the queues, as the entries are all prepaid. The weather wasn’t great but we enjoyed it anyway!

The only excursion worth going on!!!Brilliant 10/10 - The only excursion worth going on Chan (pronounced Sean) is the only guide I would ever recommend on SAL experiences. He was wonderful with my grandkid, He knew the areas, and history and peppered the tour with facts of real interest and rich history and evolution of Sal. I saw my first mirage!
This is great value for all the stops we made, it was half a day, with lots of useful info the night before
Swimming (ok wading) with (lemon) sharks and that salt bath is something I will never ever forget.

A nice morning exploring - Wow. Very good guide. Took us around the island.
Sharks very good but needed a bit more time. Salt lake was great! Very good but need some coins (€1) to get a shower.

Spectaculary guided tour by God M guide 5 stars! 👍 - Half-day tour of the most important points of the island (mirage, blue eye, port of palm trees, shark bay, fire stone salines). Enough time at each stop in order to make the walk light and quite pleasant, being able to see everything, feel the experiences, and take photos... The cherry on top of the cake was our guide Jackson, who in addition to excellent photographer (held us the most spectacular photos), was always very kind and fun, always explaining very clearly and concise the points of interest, as well as what would appear on the journey. The organization of the tour and the recommendations previously provided by Enilza were also very assertive, which allowed us to take everything we needed. In short, it was an experience of excellence accompanied by an excellent guide! We highly recommend this tour.

NO much to see EN Isla DE Sal - The excursion ES loose because the island has little to see and very precarious means (roads).
The Blue Eye was a dark hole (cloudy day)
Experience with sharks ES baby is very cool
Finally float on a salt pan
PORte terrible, by roads DE stones continuously
