Excellent. - My second time on the island of Sal and the second private tour with the Sal Experience. We conducted a half-day tour with the guide Cristian. He was attentive, conversational and full of information about the places we passed, which he appreciated and much of our day. Thank you very much.

Nice - Christinan, the guide, was very welcoming, cheerful and friendly. He could tell us a bit more about the history of the island. The driver was friendly too, I lost his name. The village is honestly not worth it. But it was nice to see the baby sharks swimming at your feet. Swimming in the salt lake was also a nice experience. It was a beautiful setting, in that volcano crater.

Good experience - The tour was very good with a knowledgeable guide. The salt lakes were great fun. The blue eye was amazing but you can only see it when the sun is out!

Excellent trip 👌 - Great trip ... went all over the island ... guide KiKi was pointing out all the places of interest on the way ... very informative ... plus he became the photographer and too loads of pictures with your phone etc. Very jovial chap and kept us laughing all the way. Driver was also very good ... very careful on done dodgy roads and tracks. Thoroughly recommend 👍

A once in a lifetime experience - The Shark Bay with the small sharks swimming around your feet is something I recommend for everyone visiting Cape Verde. The shallow water was to my knees and quite windy so my skirt got wet - in the warm sun it didn't take long for it to dry. Short would have been better though. Slippery, so swimming shoes on.

Incomplete tour - The visit to see the lemon sharks and bathe in the dead lake was very good, the Guide spectacular, but they did not fulfill what was collected in the itinerary, as the visit to the capital or Murdeira was not made, let alone the blue eye. The Guide could not explain the reason for this situation. So I'll have to do it on my own.
