Description

Discover Sal Island’s key sights in a well-organized day tour led by an experienced local guide. This tour eliminates the hassle of transport and route planning, allowing you to focus on the island’s highlights and culture.

Your day begins with hotel pickup and proceeds with stops showcasing Sal’s diversity. Start at the Salt Lake of Santa Maria to learn about the island’s salt production history. Visit Kite Beach, a top kitesurfing destination, where colorful kites frequently fill the sky during the windy season.

Continue to Murdeira Bay for panoramic views of Monte Leão and the coast. In Espargos, the island capital, experience local life and everyday community activities. At Terra Boa, observe the desert mirage phenomenon, where distant illusions of water appear over the desert.

One highlight is Buracona Blue Eye, where sunlight reflects in a natural pool to produce a bright blue glow. Around midday, take a lunch break at a local restaurant in Espargos or Palmeira, a traditional fishing village (lunch not included).
