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.

Fantastic tour guide - Our guide Ola was friendly and chatty. He spoke very clear English and was able to answer all our questions as a local guide. Highly recommend, thank you Ola. We will look you up next time we visit. Saw about 4 or 5 baby sharks who circled our legs while we took photos. Salt lake was an experience.. don't forget an extra euro for the shower you will need it as the salt hardens on your skin.

Amazing experience! - What an amazing experience! Our tour guide and driver was friendly, knowledgeable, and very amenable with time at both places we visited. He made sure that our experiences were safe and enjoyable. The lemon sharks were bigger than expected and just swam around us. The salt lake was unbelievable, you just floated! Would definitely recommend the tour and the tour company.

Great day trip with two great guides - Clear 5 star review: Punctual, very friendly, lots of knowledge about the animals and Sal in general. We had a great day with the lemon sharks and in the “salt lake” The two guides were just great You should either have water shoes with you for the sharks or rent them on site and be quite sure of your steps. Unfortunately not suitable for the elderly or disabled.

Sharks and volcanoes. It’s like a bond movie set - Perfect free on out. The driver was very knowledgeable kids love riding in the back of the pick up to get about - but we all felt very safe Walking in the sea with the sharks was fun. Having them swim round your feet Then off to swim (or float I should say) inside the volcano crater. Stunning views and good for the skins as well Whole trip took 3 hrs perfect for older teens and great fun

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
