The tour started at 3pm so we had a nice relaxed start. The coach journey to Fadiouth took 40 minutes & we got to see the Senegal countryside & rural life. The stop at the women's cooperative was good to support local people & there was no pressure to buy anything. Our local guide at Fadiouth was charming & interesting. We saw daily life on the island. The canoe ride back across the river was peaceful & a good end to the trip. Overall I would recommend this half-day trip.

A fabulous afternoon trip. Didn't quite know what to expect but was pleasantly surprised. The guide around seashell Island was fantastic, his name was Mathew a very nice man and so knowledgeable. The boat trip through the mangrove was a little unnerving but fun.

We enjoyed seashell island, the cemetary island in particular, something very different, pick up and guides were great Could be good to combine Saloum Delta and Seashell island in same trip. It would work nice to see Delta in morning, then lunch and Seashell island at the same time in afternoon as it currently operates. We did both trips and it seemed as just passed Fadiouth enroute to Saloum Delta would make sense to combine the 2 places in one trip.
