A complete day to fully understand Sal. Our local guide takes you in a comfortable vehicle through the island’s most beautiful roads and trails.
MORNING — Departure to the north: stop at Espargos (administrative capital), visit to Buracona’s Blue Eye (the famous natural pool inside volcanic lava, entry 3€), then onwards to Palmeira and the fishing port.
MIDDAY — Heading to Pedra Lume / Salt Lake, the ancient volcanic crater filled with ultra-salty seawater (entry 6€). You’ll enjoy a floating bath like the Dead Sea. Lunch break at a local restaurant of your choice.
AFTERNOON — Return via the east coast: stops at Costa da Fragata (kite-surf zone), Murdeira and Calheta Funda, magical deserted beaches. Return to your hotel in late afternoon.
*Tour customisable to your preferences — let us know when booking.*

What's the difference between Group and VIP?
The Group tour shares the vehicle with other travellers. The VIP/Private formula is exclusive to your group — more flexible, with the possibility to customise the itinerary.
Do I need to swim at Pedra Lume?
No — the salinity makes you float naturally, just like the Dead Sea.
How long is the day?
Usually 7-8 hours, with an early morning pickup from your hotel.
