Perfect Half Day Trip - Amazing morning 🫶🏻 booked the day before, less than 24h before pickup time, confirmation was fast. We were picked up outside our hotel just after 10am, on the back of a pickup which we thought was fun but just an FYI if you want an air con bus, or make sure you have suncream on! We saw loads of sharks and the guide was so friendly and knowledgeable. There are sellers along the beach with salt from the salinas and magnets of the beach which we got for €3 but the people that said no were respected and left alone, not pushed into buying anything. The Salina was so cool too, we got to float in the lake for as long as we wanted before making our way back up to the bar for a quick drink and back on the truck to make the way home for lunch ☺️ the guide was so friendly and patient and carried all the belongings of the elderly women on our trip for them. I highly recommend this, especially if like us you’re keen to do the morning/half day and be back in the hotel for afternoon. Also this was cheaper than what TUI were offering. 10/10 ❤️

Amazing tour team - Absolutely fantastic experience! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and made the whole trip both informative and fun. Seeing the lemon sharks up close was a real highlight, a truly unique and thrilling experience. And floating effortlessly in the salt lake? Unbelievable! Such a relaxing and surreal feeling. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for an adventurous and memorable day out. The combination of wildlife and natural wonders was perfect.

Excellent experience, definitely recommend - Ola from Spot Travel was our guide for the day for this excursion and he was excellent. We would highly recommend contacting him to arrange an excursion in Sal. We were collected from our Hotel promptly and dropped back there at the end of the trip. He was very friendly, informative and we did not feel rushed when exploring. A great morning in Sal.

Brilliant trip and tour guide - Brilliant trip out and enjoyed by all 6 of us . Ola was our guide and he was great (friendly, informative and arrived to pick us up on time .) We enjoyed seeing the sharks and saw more than we expected. Also floating in the salt lake is a great experience. We would happily book with this tour company again .

A must do 3 hour tour - Really friendly and professional- much more laid back and enjoyable than the TUI sausage machine tours that abound on the island. It aas Like an old friend taking you round where they grew up ! A Great few hours.

Thrilling - The experience in itself was great and worthwhile! We went with children age 8 and 10. Only minus is a somewhat nonchalant relationship with punctuality and agreements. We were supposed to be picked up for a morning tour at 10, but was forgotten. When I contacted them we got in on the evening tour at 15 instead.

Good trip with cute guide, but room for improvement - We had a good trip on the island of Sal in Cape Verde, where we experienced both lemon sharks and the salt lakes. Our driver and guide was nice and reliable, and he arrived on time both at pickup and delivery. However, we felt that the trip could have been a little more informative and better organized to give a complete experience. Overall a nice trip, but there was room for improvement. That is why we give 4 stars.

Jaws2😬 - Really fun trip - shark bay is very rocky under foot and you have to walk a far way into the sea. Sharks come right up to your legs !! Salt lake lets you float - weird feeling but fun Guide was knowledgeable and good English Be aware we sat in open back of a pickup. truck with no seatbelts- bumpy and very breezy. Recommend the experience as a trip
