Review of Sal Island’s $69 catamaran cruise, with small groups, drinks, snacks, wildlife chances, and a short swim or snorkel stop.
“Had a great time and the driver picked us up by the hotel and drove us to the activity and back and the boat ride was safe and good with good music. The boat men were helpful and nice.”
Watch Caretta Caretta turtles at Boa Vista’s Pesqueiro Grande beach, with hotel pickup, expert guides, and practical tips for a respectful night tour.
“After an initial pick up error the trip was amazing. Drivers and guide were brilliant and the walk over the sand in the dark was managed very well. Managed to see a turtle camouflage her nest then waited… one came out but changed her mind. The another back along the beach, and it was magical. Clear night, lots of stars…. And to top it all off a solo hatchling appeared so we helped it on its way.”
Review of Sal Island’s 3-hour Shark Bay and Pedra de Lume salt-lake tour, including costs, transport, guides, safety, and practical tips.
“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”
