Sal lemon shark experience

4.6/5
6282 reviews

Living in the coastal subtropical waters around Sal, lemon sharks are one of the easiest sharks to spot in their natural habitat. You'll venture out to Shark Bay with a marine biologist to interact and learn about these fascinating creatures on this half-day trip.

After pick-up from your hotel, you'll drive to Shark Bay over on the east coast of Sal where your lemon shark experience will begin. You'll wade out into the water with a marine biologist, who will guide you step by step and teach you all about this incredible species.

Spot their yellow-tinted skin – ideal for camouflage in the sandy shores – and watch them as they go about their business, twisting and turning, and looking for fish just a few feet away. You'll see their fins cutting through the surface of the water and get to know these sharks closer than you could imagine.

    No one turned up to pick us up. Wasted half a day waiting. No one bothered to let the rep or hotel reception know.

    It's very rocky and not for anyone who isn't the best on their feet, but my wife and I highly recommend it; it was her favorite excursion. We both saw loads of sharks, and they brushed past us a few times.
