It was a full days outing... - It was a full days outing covered a lot of Sal Island, enjoyed the highlights as were specified in the initial booking. The driver and our guide Alejandro were both very skilled at What they do. We learnt a lot of history and information about Cabo Verde.
It was a nice touch to go to a locals house be welcomed in and have a home cooked meal. For my husband and I we really enjoyed going in the shallows to be with the baby Lemon Sharks and to go to the old salt mine lake inside an old volcano crater and float in the very saline water. It was a relaxed trip didn't feel rushed. Would recommend to friends.
