Sam and Jackson, two fantastic guides. - We have done two excursions with them during our trip to Salt Island and both have been fantastic. On the first, a visit to the city of Espargos, Sam, our guide, was great. This boy is genuine, bright and very charismatic. On the second excursion, a full-day tour of the island, Jackson was our guide and made it phenomenal. He is a nice person, very caring for everyone and intelligent. Congratulations to both of you! They certainly want the Enterprise to treat them well because they make the experience unique.

Zero headache tours, amazing - If you wanna see all the local sights in one day I recommend this tour. Everything is explained, had a lovely tour guide called shan, he was great. WhatsApp message from the admin team to let you know collection time and What'd required. Had a 14 seater little minibus, was comfy and had Aircon. All activities and stops were great and interesting. Lunch stop was lovely no complaints.

Travel very well... - Travel very well planned, we were able to see the whole island, we saw the difference in the tourist area and the difficult reality of many people. I found it super interesting, our guide Jackson was very attentive and always in a good mood which made the trip super pleasant. I recommend

Memory making - Just back to the hotel from a full day a seeing the island. Kiki (aka Kyle) was our tour guide. He was fantastic and made sure we all had a great day. My son and I have made so many memories. Not just from the sights but from the people we spent the day with. The sights were worth seeing and luckily we were ahead of the crowd at every point so it really felt special. If you are thinking of booking, do it. Two handy tips :- 1) rent the crocs from the shark people (€2) swim shoes are too thin when walking over the rocks in the sea 2) to get to the salt lake you must go down, therefore you must go back up to get out! Be prepared for a bit of a climb.

Best trip in Sal. - We did this trip yesterday 22nd October. Wow what a fantastic day we had. From shell island , to floating in the salt lakes,we enjoyed every minute. Vanessa our tour guides knowledge, and love for her island showed with every word she said. What we loved the most was how the whole frip revolved around supporting the local community. What ever else you do in Sal you must do this trip. You won't regret it. We booked with GetYourGuide which is really easy on the app. You get a whole days experiance, even paddleing with the lemon sharks, so value for monry is 2nd to none.

A must do tour, 10 out of 10 experience - This was a great experience, everyone should try to fit into their holiday. Very informative tour about the sharks & the work the marine biologists & volunteers do. To feel these creatures swim by is a very humbling experience.
