Perfect way to experience the island - We had Kiki our guide. Very good energy and made the trip fun experience. The blue eye was overrated.. At ourist trap with way too many people. If you can,choose a tour that does Norton there Everything else was great

Great visit and excursion - Super gorgeous between baby lemon sharks and black tips and the blue eye how to tell you just magic. There was a bit of tail but the blue eye is really worth it and with the sun the reflection of the water is clearly visible they look like small diamonds lol For baby sharks it is that videos the photos are blurred

A great half day tour for a taste of the island - Our tour was great, perfect half day taster of the island! Nany our tour guide provided an informative overview of the island, its history and the places we were visiting. Half day was perfect for the time we had, especially with 2 small children. The bus was air conditioned and the tour group smaller so felt more personal. I’d highly recommend!

Nice tour with super friendly guides! - Well organized tour with super friendly guides! Very convienient as they will pick you up at your hotel. A nice tour to get to know more of the island as the attractions are situated in different parts of the island. You should definitely bring a gopro-cam or a waterproof case for your mobile to get a closer look at the sharks in Shark Bay. Just remember that the sharks may perceive waving fingers as if they were squid, so you should keep you hands away from the water and have your cam on a stick.

Highly recommend - Brilliant tour, much better than going with the hotel, more flexibilityon dates and times and much smaller groups (4 including ourselves in this instance). Great info nearly full drive around the island seeing some towns beyond the features listed

A short fun trip - Shark bay was an interesting experience, the natural pool in Buracona was quite nice too and Salinas were exactly what one would expect. There is not that much to do/see on Sal overall, so considering that this trip did cover the highlights. The guide was pleasant and funny but as the trip was short and each of the activities done antonoumously, his job wasn't that difficult. I had some issues with the tour operator's communication - they did not contact me about pick up and I had to chase them the night before by all means possible to arrange the details of my pick up to be even able to join the tour, despite booking a week ahead.
