Get out for an adventurous sightseeing tour that is perfect for discovering the desert and, the hidden treasures of this popular and most deserted destination. This trip will take you to Salt Lake Salinas of Pedra de Lume, the second saltiest water in the world after the Dead Sea, an incredible lake where you can lie down and float, even if you can't swim, and you will be left with smooth skin as if you had a natural scrub. Next, you will travel to Buracona, where you will see the "Blue Eye", one of the 7 wonders of the island and its natural pool, where you will have time to swim in its crystal clear waters if the conditions are ideal for bathing.
Then you will move on to Miragem, where you will see the fata morgana effect of water illusions in the desert. Admire the natural reserve of Murdeira Bay and enjoy the beautiful view of Lion mountain. At the end, you will visit Shark Bay, where you will experience lemon sharks in their natural habitat up close.

It was a good experience all round, we enjoyed the majority of the trip. It would have been better if the online-guide said it would be good to carry some small change for things like showers etc… at the salt lakes, and maybe encourage small change for snacks, souvenirs at the blue-eye as card payments were sometimes difficult with internet-signal. The guide was very informative, knew a lot about the attractions and spoke well in English and Portuguese.
