Reviews: Sal Island: 4x4 Off-Road Quad Tour with a Local Guide
Guest User2026-03-02
Fantastic experience with the kids on the side-by-side. Andy, our guide, was great and speaks excellent French. We were able to stop near the zipline, at the salt flats, and at Shark Bay where we saw baby sharks for €3 per person, shoes included. The ride is very dynamic, so wear clothes you don't mind getting dusty. πŸ˜ƒ The equipment is good (they even came to replace a side-by-side mid-ride because it had a steering problem), and the team is very friendly. This isn't an experience you'd have in France, driving at full speed along the coast! Go for it and have a great time!

Reviews: Sal Island: 4x4 Off-Road Buggy Ride with a Local Guide
Guest User2026-03-04
We were picked up 30 mins before proposed start time and contacted directly by the driver. Bus was a bit rickety but fine to get us to the 4x4 base. Safety briefing was rapid, dust scarfs purchased and then we were off! The 4x4's were great fun to drive and the route was mostly off road, very dusty and bouncy as you would expect - I really enjoyed it, my partner less so as doesn't like speed or discomfort! My helmet was a bit tight but I've a big head!!! Didn't spend very long at each stop (3 overall) and then a long drive back to the start point. All in the trip lasted the 3 hours as expected and I really enjoyed the driving and a chance to see different bits of the Island - even if it was a bit samey. We actually went back to Shark Bay on a separate, specific trip but didn't see anything we didn't get to on this trip so on that basis alone the 4x4 trip was well worth it! Made for much more fun than laying by the pool getting sunburnt!

Nando our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable sharing the history of Cape Verde and the areas we visited throughout the day. The Cape Verdean lunch was delicious as was the caprinha on the Harbourside. I would definitely recommend this trip for those wanting to see the best Sal has to offer at a steady pace.

Reviews: Half-Day Sailing Yacht Adventure in Sal Island - 3 hours
Guest User2025-12-07
Thank you for the wonderful catamaran trip. The crew was super friendly. We didn't see a lot, but that didn't matter because we had a magnificent morning sailing on this beautiful catamaran, and we were a very small group of 12 people. Thank you: we'd love to do it again!
