Review of Sal Island’s Blue Eye, Shark Bay, salt lake, and Palmeira tour, with honest tips on costs, transport, timing, and value.
“Nice day out on a small island. Bus was good, driver and guide (Fabio) were great. Nice group vibe, Germans, French, English and even a few Portuguese. Shark bay is cool, basic but really authentic. Lunch in local restaurant was nice, local cooking and friendly people. Other stops weren’t super exciting, but it’s all a part of the day. Only gripe would be that €6 entry each for salt flats is a little steep for what it is. All in all worth the money and we would recommend a first time visitor to do it once.”

“Very good tour, visited all sites, guide was good and a fun day out. Didn’t do Kite Beach as guide said there were not many kites that day but we would have like him to ask us rather than make the decision himself as there were about 30 kites in view from a distance and we would have liked to visit the beach”

“The 3 hour tour was sufficient but I do advise to wear hard sole water shoes like crocks when going to see the lemon sharks. If not have you can hire for 2€ which enables you to walk comfortably out to see the sharks. Also suggest if you have water shoes for beach do wear them when you enter the salt lake. You must rub the mud from the lake onto your body for an amazing experience.”
