Sal's white sands are regulars on the ‘best beach' lists, and you'll see plenty of them and more on this off-road four-seater buggy tour. Take the driving seat, or let an experienced guide drive so you can focus on taking the pics. You'll visit the moon-like landscapes of the Santa Maria salt flats and roar up the rugged Serra Negra – the highest hill in the south of the island - for views of the Atlantic Ocean. Visit Kite Beach, Palha Verde and Ponta Preta, or on the four-hour tour you'll see coastal treasures like the fishing village of Palmeira and look for lemon sharks in Shark Bay.

Was a fantastic day for the whole family. Patrick our guide was full of information an made the trip so enjoyable for everyone. Best trip of our holiday by far loved every second

Deze excursie was in zijn geheel top geregeld en voor elkaar! Prachtige route afgelegd over het eiland!

Très tres belle équipe sur place. Super en sécurité. Cependant decu du conseil de tui. J'ai payé plusieurs activité et on ne nous a pas dit que la shark bay était prevu dans l'activité buggy a 350 euros et on avait déjà payé et fais les requins . Rhhh tres décevant sachant qu'on a fait près de 5 activités avec tui pour 3 personnes. Du coup on a annuler d'autres quon voulait faire car c'était pas tres sérieux.

Tour guides were great and it gives you a real taste of the whole island. Was one of the highlights of our stay. Would highly recommend to families with older kids as a fun way to see Sal beyond the resort. Take your own crocks or sea shoes to paddle with the lemon sharks if you have them, if not the tour guide will arrange to rent from a local for a small fee. You also need a bandana to protect you from the sand and wind which you can buy from the tour operator on arrival. Take plenty of water.

Excellent but 2 hours was definitely long enough.the tour guides were amazing.thoroughly enjoyed and would definitely recommend
