A true deep experience of the reality of our islands with excellent guides and visits to the best places. First stop at Murdeira Bay, with the opportunity to photograph Monte Leão and its natural beauty. Then visit the fishing port village of Palmeira, and Burracona, with its natural pool and the famous “Blue Eye”. Visit “Terra Boa” for fun pictures of the “mirages”. After you then visit Espargos, the capital of the island and then “Sharks Bay” to wade with the reef sharks. An unforgettable visit to Pedra de Lume salt pans with an opportunity to float in the Salt Lake that is 26 times saltier than seawater. A truly unique experience.

I went on the catamaran tour with my husband and our 15 years old soon. We were delighted with the catamaran, the beautiful views, snorkelling, fishing with the line and dancing! The animation was very funny, my husband who never dances, and here he could not :)! Everything was wonderful! My greetings to the catamaran team and the Barracuda team.

My boyfriend and I did a tour in Sal start of December. We booked this tour to get a general impression of the island. First of all the tour itinerary has been put together very well - you can see all highlight spots of the island. Second we had a fantastic guide, that can speak very well English and who is very easy going, cheerful and chatty. We enjoyed a lot the time spent together with the tour guide, who ensured we had the best experience on the island. For example he arranged we could taste some local wine and rhum at a bar of a friend. But the most amazing thing was that he arranged a private entrance to the Salinas, which at that time were closed for tourists. This experience has been amazing and we thank him a ton for this unique experience. Last also he was not strict with the time of the excursion at all and i believe we extended the duration of at least 1 hour. Had the best time on the island!!! Thanks a lot!!!

We went on the full day Sal island tour and can highly recommend this company. Chan was our guide and he was friendly, funny and informative. I think each stop was timed well so we didn’t spend too long in each place. I particularly enjoyed swimming in the blue isle place so make sure you bring a swimming costume!
