What to expect

Living in the coastal subtropical waters around Sal, lemon sharks are one of the easiest sharks to spot in their natural habitat. You'll venture out to Shark Bay with a marine biologist to interact and learn about these fascinating creatures on this half-day trip.

After pick-up from your hotel, you'll drive to Shark Bay over on the east coast of Sal where your lemon shark experience will begin. You'll wade out into the water with a marine biologist, who will guide you step by step and teach you all about this incredible species.

Spot their yellow-tinted skin – ideal for camouflage in the sandy shores – and watch them as they go about their business, twisting and turning, and looking for fish just a few feet away. You'll see their fins cutting through the surface of the water and get to know these sharks closer than you could imagine.

    Would be helpful to be told you need crocs with decent soles to enter the water rather than standard water shoes. Very rocky and slippery to walk in sea. Great experience though.

    Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and told us all about the lemon sharks. We enjoyed every minute of our trip, albeit was rocky underfoot so had to be very careful. It was fascinating to see the sharks swimming amongst us. Nothing not to like about our trip and 10/10 for our guide

    Having a marine biologist was paramount to explain about the wildlife and challenges species on the island face enforcing the importantance of the environment and to protect it. The lemon sharks needs to a protected area to survive.

    Francis was excellent tour guide and very helpful. Would like to highlight the fact that thick soled footwear required for walking over rocks. Do not wear swim shoes as sole is to thin.
