Sal: All-Inclusive Half-Day Lounge Catamaran Cruise - Sailing past Sal’s rocky shores

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 486 reviews · 4 hours · from $81Our pick

Sail Sal’s west coast on a spacious catamaran with swimming, snorkeling, snacks, music, hotel transfers, and unlimited drinks.

“The activities were great. Loved jumping to the ocean, swimming in the inflatable swimming pool and dancing with our guides. The only thing I’m not happy about is poor choice of vegan options for a snack. I specified when booking the cruise that my partner and I are vegan. There was no separate food for us - all we got was fruits, olives and crisps. Everyone else got salad, pizza and sandwiches. We left a bit disappointed and hungry. Other than that, it was a great experience :)”

“This tour exceeded our expectations. We saw the majority of top sites in Sao Vicente in the time allotted. Had we not taken a tour, we would never have realized how beautiful the city and island are. The tour company is extremely well organized. They communicated with us several times before we docked at the cruise terminal. They met us just outside the terminal door, checked us in, and then assigned us in groups to 9-passenger vans. Our guide and driver were both excellent. Our guide, Jaimie, was knowledgeable, affable, and passionate about his island. He shared his vast knowledge of his country's history and current conditions.
