An excellent tour. - Our local guide was most welcoming and informative. The sites visited were numerous with just the right amount of time to take in the scenery and atmosphere of the locations. The spectacular coast surrounding the Blue Eye and bathing in the salt water of the extraordinary Salinas were highlights.

Essential. - Fully recommended. A day to tour and get to know the island of Sal. Very friendly staff. Maybe you see a lot of things and I missed some time to get to know Palmeira. Still a 10.

Fantastic day - Experience 5 stars 😀 Our guide was impeccable, very friendly and helpful. The group was not very large which in itself was a great advantage. Nany, our guide, spoke fluently, explaining every corner we passed, very organized, even in the preparation of lunch. Thank you Nany for this fantastic day

Perfect overview of Sal - Kiki is a great guide! Interesting, funny and well organized. The tour is perfect for an overview of Sal, covers the most important things, but it's not too tiring.

Great way to see around the island. - This trip was an excellent way to see around the island. It took in all the most popular locations however I felt that some of it was rushed and that more time could have been spent at some of the areas. It was also difficult to hear what the guide was telling us as at times due to him still driving and some of the roads that he was travelling on were practically non existent and full of stones and big holes.

The trip itself and the... - The trip itself and the guide was fantastic. However we stopped at a local restaurant for our lunch and had the national dish of cachupa. When I arrived back at my hotel I was violently sick for 12 hours. Therefore I would recommend taking your bow no lunch and drinks with you.
