Great fun activity. - A great tour seeing sights that you would not see without being in a 4x4. Even some of the summits and paths would not be accessible. Stopped a few times for photo opportunities. Thoroughly recommend.

Fun day out - A bandana or some sort of face mask is a must as very dusty and don't expect to come back clean lol. The visit to shark bay was amazing and the salt pool was the ok but well worth it for the buggy and shark experience

No1 trip to do - Superb organised trip, picked up from our hotel and went to our buggy’s, had a guide and instructions on how to use the buggy’s and off we go, superb off roading experience and excitement, went passed the salt fields, to the zip wire with views then on to shark bay. €3 each to go in with the sharks and hire of the footwear(well worth it) what a experience to have all these lemon sharks swimming around your legs. Then back across the sand to base. Absolutely a superb trip a must for anyone coming to Cape Verde Sal. Very friendly staff who meet and greet you and take you all the way on this experience so even if it’s your 1st time they will help you along all the way and back…. SUPEB

✨ Probably the best way to discover the island of Sal! - We chose the full day buggy tour (7:30) and it was really an amazing experience. I loved the fact that we were in a small group: initially we were 4 buggies + 1 quad , then the groups split according to the chosen circuit. As a result, for the complete tour we ended up with only 2 buggies with our guide — making the experience even more enjoyable and personalized. The stops were varied and well paced, short but enough to enjoy without wasting too much time: • Serra Negra: beautiful volcanic landscapes and panoramic views. • Shark Bay: impressive to see lemon sharks so close (3 €/pers, fangs lent to walk on the rocks). • Salinas: very nice moment, we literally float in salt water (6 € / person, shower available 1 € to rinse). • Blue Eye: very touristy and less spectacular, but the view of the cove remains pretty (3 €/pers). • And many other stops along the way: Kite Beach, Pedra de Lume, Terra Boa, Palmeira, Murdeira, Ponta Preta... each has its charm, between beaches, mirages, villages and coves. I found the perfect timing: no endless stops, just what it takes to discover, take photos and leave. It’s a complete tour, you can see a lot in one day, and the buggy makes the adventure even more fun. Special mention for the guide who was super nice, and there is a photographer who accompanied us at the beginning to take pictures, you can pick them up then but we did not test. In short, I recommend 100% this excursion if you want to go around the island in an original and well organized way!

Great experience! 90% off-road! - It's great! Mega Tour! The stays at the individual stations are a bit short but that's what most interesting places are for. If you want to stay longer, then you have to book the individual tours separately. But it's okay and buggy driving. And that was just awesome!

Great 4 hour tour through varied landscape - We had great guides Tiago and Dominique who told us a lot about the island and the places where we stopped. Very adventurous buggy ride. I can definitely recommend it. Swimming in the salt pans was a unique experience
