Review of Sal Island’s Blue Eye, Shark Bay and salt lake tour, with practical advice on costs, transport, stops and overall value.
“Highlights are the lemon sharks and salt lake. They’re both quite breath taking Lots of added drop offs (like mirage / murdeira bay) as drive through the island which adds to the tour and gives some history of the island. Do have to pay for sharks (3€) , blue eye (can’t remember) and salt lake (6€) so bring some cash. Also bring some money for lunch. Even with this not included, still think very good value for money, for full day trip going round the whole island. Tour guide was also very nice - cannot remember first name, but second name Souza Would definitely recommend”

“Aucune interaction avec le guide Babacar qui s’est contenté de nous transporter d’un point à un autre sans aucune explication. Sur les questions posées, pas de réponse à donner . Sûrement un guide PAS local qui était constamment avec son téléphone et ses oreillettes et qui n’en avait clairement rien à faire . Arrêt requins de 10 minutes à peine, moyennant 3 euros par paire de chaussures. Toujours aucune explication sur la faune observée . Ni sur l’exploitation de la mine de Sel. Finalement excursion sans trop d’intérêts. Quel dommage !”
