Private Sal Island Tour: Shark Bay & Pedra de Lume Salt Lake

Begin your experience at Shark Bay, where you'll safely observe juvenile lemon sharks in their natural habitat from the shallow waters of the bay. Continue to the historic village of Pedra de Lume, the first settlement on Sal Island, and learn about the island's rich salt mining heritage and the important role it played in its development. Visit the extraordinary Pedra de Lume Salt Lake, the world's only salt lagoon inside the crater of an extinct volcano. Float effortlessly in its warm, mineral-rich waters, renowned for their exceptionally high salinity, and enjoy one of Cape Verde's most unique natural experiences.
