Pedra de Lume + Swim with Sharks
Pedra de Lume + Swim with Sharks
We'll pick you up at your hotel between 1:30 and 2 pm. From here, we'll drive to our first destination of the day, Shark Bay, and see its famous lemon sharks up close! Here you'll be able to enjoy a 20-minute swim with these peaceful sharks.
Afterwards, we'll visit the nearby village of Pedra de Lume, which was the first settlement on the island of Sal. Here we'll see its ancient dwellings and learn about the importance of the salt industry for the development of the island through objects and instruments used to extract this chemical compound.
The highlight of the tour is a visit to the Pedra de Lume salt marshes, the only salt lagoon in the world located in the crater of a dormant volcano. You'll be impressed by the variety of colours of the landscape. Finally, we'll visit the cable car that was once used to transport the salt extracted from Pedra de Lume.
Finally, we'll be back at your hotel in Santa Maria at 5 pm.
