Only 2 people booked on this excursion so, instead of a banana boat we were on an inflatable raft pulled by a jetski. Absolutely brilliant fun but very short . Including transfer both ways to where the experience took place, we were back in our hotel within the hour. Had a max of 20 minutes on inflatable. Great fun but over too quickly.

I booked a banana boat but instead we got some inflatable thing for 2, solely relying on the strenght of your arms to avoid drifting in the sea. My 12y son loved the experience, not me. I could not cope for more than 2 min. They kindly provided a staff member to go with him. My rating therefore refle ts his experience.

Kids aged 12 and 17 loved it. I found it physically challenging at the age of 50! The guide didn’t announce themselves when we were waiting at the hotel for pick up. As there were several trips departing at similar times and the transport wasn’t Tui branded, it wasn’t obvious that they were there to collect us.

We booked and paid for the postcards on your app as we were told to by the rep. But it got cancelled without letting us know ??. We then had to rebook and pay for it again and still haven't got my £260 back yet. When we did get to go it was a very good trip worth doing it.

Sal island catamaran cruise with All-Inclusive drinks and snacks
If holidays for you are all about kicking back and catching up on some chill-out time, then this catamaran cruise around Sal is just what you're looking for. There's nothing on the agenda except cruising, sunbathing, swimming and enjoying the sea breeze. Maria, one of our local guides, says, ‘This is a trip which prioritises relaxation. Getting out onto the water gives you a fresh perspective on the island – Monte Leão is a popular place for birds, so if you like wildlife-watching, bring your binoculars and see if you can spot one of the five species endemic to the Cape Verde archipelago.'Your day of relaxation kicks off with pick-up from your hotel before boarding the brand-new catamaran. Your captain will cruise out from Palmeira, hugging the coastline. It's the perfect moment for you to choose your spot and sit back to soak up some rays. There's plenty of room to relax as well as drinks, snacks and local music to get you into that holiday mood as you enjoy the sensation of gliding through the open water in style.Once we've reached our idyllic spot near Monte Leão, your captain will drop anchor to freshen up with a swim in the open water. When we've stopped, you can also head out on to the nets, where you'll be able to float above the sparkling water and dry off in the sun. Maria adds, ‘Monte Leão sits at the northern end of the Murdeira Bay. The whole bay area is a marine nature reserve because of the important populations of sea turtles and seabirds.'
Speed demons will rejoice with these adrenaline-pumping buggy tours. Ideal for manoeuvring over sandy terrain, you'll get to see even more of the island as you rev, race and rumble down tracks you never knew existed. There's three tours to choose from – a 2-hour, 4-hour or night-time excursion - the choice is completely yours.
The freedom and exhilaration of flying top-speed through the air is an experience that's hard to beat. And you can do it in the tropical setting of Sal island, with hilltop views to boot.You'll be picked up from your hotel and taken to the base where your arrival will be welcomed with a refreshing drink to get you started. There will be a quick safety briefing and introduction to ziplining, then once you're ready, you'll drive up to the hilltop, followed by a short, but no less spectacular, walk.There are two platforms to launch yourself from, with the highest point at a towering 103m. You'll reach speeds of up to a 100km per hour as you hurtle down the steel ropes, which extend over 1000m. And if you can open your eyes for just a second, you'll catch flashes of Sal's idyllic landscape before you reach the end of the line.
