Why you’ll love this…
  • You'll journey through Sal's unique landscapes and visit the communities of Palmeiras and Espargos
  • At Buracona Lagoon you'll witness the natural wonder of the 'blue eye'
  • There's a rare chance to swim in the lake of a volcano crater and feel like you've had a spa experience
What to expect

If you're looking for the hidden gems of Sal, then this half-day tour will tick all the boxes, taking in colourful fishing villages, an enchanting lagoon and even a dip in an extinct volcano's crater lake.

You'll take a ride in a comfy minibus as an expert guide shows off the best of this island. Your drive will take you to the quaint village of Palmeiras, full of cutsie shops and cozy cafes, where you'll get time to stroll its narrow streets and soak up the ambiance of this coastal community. Then on the way to the livelier village of Espargos, there's a stop at Buracona Lagoon where you'll see its ‘blue eye' – a natural phenomenon where the sunlight casts an ethereal glow over the water's surface.

Round off the day with a trip to an extinct volcano crater, where you'll have the rare chance to swim in its saltwater lake – like a natural spa experience. The mineral-rich waters mean you'll be floating effortlessly and heading back to your hotel feeling refreshed and invigorated.

    Excellent tour giving an overview of the islands highlights. The blue eye is disappointing at this time of year and is just a dark pond in a hole.
