A must-do tour around the island - This tour is a must if you’re coming to Salt island and want to see what Cape Verde is like beyond the resorts. You get to see many beautiful sights around the island, such as sharks and a desert mirage. If you’re lucky enough you might get Dani as your guide. He is very passionate and knowledgeable about Cape Verde, and it was a real pleasure to spend this day with him.

Tour of the Island Sights - We did a private island tour with Kiki ( Kyle). He was great. Took us to a variety of places all over the island. Shell graveyard beach, The Blue eye, Espargos- views of the main city, Kite bay- absolutely fascinating to learn, from a guy who does it, how to kite surf. No we didn’t actually do it. Lunch in Palmeira, and a swim at Salinas. WE also saw the shanty town, the mirage and the harbour at the end of the salt mine. Kiki was great company and very informative. An amazing island. Thank you Kik and Stephen at Melia Dunas for suggesting Sal Experience.

A great relaxing tour - The day was relaxing. We can see all points of interests on the island, arriving everywhere just before the crowds coming in. The guide Blendir and our driver were very nice and friendly. Thank you!

Great tour experience - We booked a private tour for 2 with Adilson and had an amazing time. He was very friendly and gave us a lot of information throughout the tour! The sharks and Salinas were a highlight and the view point was great to get a full view of the entire island! The tour was very well organized from the pick up to the various stops and drop off at the hotel. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who is looking to get a full overview of the island.

Sal in a nutshell - private couple tour - It was a private tour for two persons, my wife and me, with Adilson. He is a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable and friendly. We learnt a lot about Sal and Cape Verde. We were particularly grateful that he helped my wife who had difficulties in walking. And we could, being only two people, actually sit inside the car cabin instead of the rear outside. Superb experience!

Stunning views, desert, sharks and salt flats. The Improveable Guide. - The impressive sharks and salt flats, the transport well but I would have been grateful if you had air conditioning and the Guide we did not like anything, nothing empathetic and I was more worried about ending quickly with the excursion than making it enjoyable.

Nice trip that is recommended! - Very nice trip! Locally known guide/driver who allowed you to see a slightly different side than you would have done with a tour operator? The trip was long enough for our 4-year-old. Unfortunately there were too many waves to swim in the caves, but a nice trip despite that. Easy to communicate and book a trip, made contact by text in advance and picked us up at the hotel at the agreed time.

Great trip! - Super trip with a good and locally-known guide. We had a half-day trip, and it was perfect with our 4-year-old, who was starting to get ready to go home eventually. Unfortunately there were too many waves to swim, but the trip was very good nonetheless. Recommended! Easy to communicate with and nice to be picked up at the hotel.
