a trip around the island with a lot of humor - Delighted with the experience. The guide, Jackson, is an endearing boy and did beyond duty... adding humor...! The only one but when I spoke into the mic, the air conditioning was cut off and it was very hot. Thank you x everything

What a fantastic experience ! - Unbelievable experience! Explore Cape Verde Shark Experience with one of their marine biologists (Eliesha or Eleese not sure how to write her name) who was absolutely amazing. So friendly, happy and helpfull. Clealy loved her job and was so informative in all aspects of the experience. We (husband and I) shared this trip with others and it was one of the most unforgetable times. To actually walk in the sea up to your knees and have them swimming so close to your legs. Wow!! Need good footwear/crocs as it's volcanic underfoot, can be hired on the beach. Happily recommend this experience and we will do it again.

A fantastic day 😎 - We love to know the island of the SAL... Especially with the help of the local guide. Thank you Jackson!!! Interaction with the Shark, the mirages in the desert of the island, the blue eye of Buracona, floating in the water of the salt-filled volcano crater and know the locations of Palmeira, Espargos and Santa Maria... All great and in company of a group of five stars... I recommend this tour 👍

Very cozy and informative day - It was a very nice day. We learned a lot about the island and saw a lot. Highlight were the lime sharks and salt mine. Kiki was our guide and he certainly made the experience cozy. I would definitely recommend this activity.

Perfect Excursion to the Island of Salt - The island is magnificent. Jackson is a humble, friendly and very helpful guide. It was pretty hot, but the vehicle had air conditioning. We love the 3D photos!

- A good idea to get to know the island in a day, friendly local guide (Christian) who teaches you the curiosities of the towns, its people, the fish markets, the beach of shells, the salt flats, the sharks

Approximate tour for the organization - A rough tour of the organization. For example, left to chance to enter the blue eye, the tour leader could take care of it (as I have seen in other groups) instead of constantly seeing the group disperse for personal needs and continuous waiting in the most unlikely places to get in the way of other tourists.
