Reviews: Sal Island: 4x4 Off-Road Buggy Ride with a Local Guide
Guest User2026-01-24
Picked up from hotel exactly in time. Shemagh face coverings are provided for a small fee. Fantastic staff and guides make this off road trip a must do if visiting Sal Island. Shark Bay is the icing on the cake for a memorable day. Highly recommended and great value

Full day starting at around 9am and finishing just before 5pm. We went to explore various parts of Sal island in cars with outside seating which added to the adventure during the day. A total of ~16 joined the tour with Christian guiding us around, an incredible guide with good knowledge of the island. I was able to float in the salt waters within a crater, a new experience for me. I also was in the waters with baby sharks, something I was nervous about, but it was an incredible experience being able to be so close to such creatures. We had 11 Euro lunch, which included vegetarian and non vegetarian dishes. We also visited a fishing village, Buracona where we saw the "blue eye" and spectactular views of the ocean. I also experience an optical phenomenan in the middle of the island. Certainly value for money experience and certainly worth experiencing when in Sal Island.

Patrick, the dive master, is decent, very good and has an eye for detail such as choosing the right diving goggles, which is important that they fit well, etc. Explained/narrated well. Is thoughtful and attentive. I feel safe with him.
Reviews: Private Sal Island Tour Authentic Experience from Santa Maria
Guest User2024-09-10
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.

Impeccable service. The driver was waiting at the exit, as agreed. The car was comfortable and spacious, and transported luggage for 4 people.
