What to expect

This full day adventure dishes up Sal's highlights by land and sea. You'll start the morning with an off-road drive, ticking off places like Palmeira and the salt lake at Pedra de Lume. Then after lunch, you'll swap the 4x4 for a catamaran to cruise the shores in style.

You'll have a well-rounded view of Sal by the end of this tour, and it all kicks off once you're strapped in our 4x4. Set off along the west coast of the island, passing the rugged coastline around Murdeira and Buracona lagoon before reaching the port town of Palmeira. You'll then turn inland, with the salt lake at Pedra de Lume in your sights.

But before you float in the Dead Sea-like water, you'll see the desert mirage sands at Terra Boa, which extend as far as the eye can see. You'll have lunch at a local restaurant, then catch the dinghy out to the catamaran, which will be waiting to take you away on a leisurely afternoon sail. Music, snacks and drinks complete the line-up too.

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.'
