our guide Andy was great fun & very informative we went for the full day option around 7.5 hours, but would opt for the 4 hour option if we did it again, I think 4 hours would be plenty of time to see what we wanted & skip the lunch option. We really loved paddling with the sharks & also the dip in the salt lake. whole day was good fun overall & it was only a group of 4 of us so really laid back too.

Full description

Drive a powerful buggy along the most challenging trails and explore the most fascinating secrets of Sal Island. This tour takes you through breathtaking landscapes, from deserted beaches to desert mirages, always accompanied by experienced guides who guarantee a safe and authentic experience.

The journey begins in Santa Maria, the vibrant heart of the island, and takes you on an incredible route through the Salinas de Santa Maria, where you can observe the traditional salt extraction process. Next, a stop at Praia do Kite offers you the chance to admire kitesurfers in action, against a backdrop of perfect waves and winds. In Serra Negra, you'll cross mountainous trails and contemplate panoramic views that combine the arid interior with the beauty of the coastline.

The real thrill comes with a visit to Shark Bay, where you can observe the impressive lemon sharks up close in shallow waters, an unforgettable encounter with the local wildlife. Continue to the Salinas de Pedra de Lume, a historic site located in a volcanic crater, and then to Terra Boa, where the phenomenon of mirage transports you to a world of unique visual illusions.

The tour also includes a stop at the iconic Buracona (Blue Eye), where the sunlight creates a magical spectacle in the crystal-clear waters. Finally, visit the village of Palmeira, where you can explore the local culture, visit the artisanal fishing port and the desalination plant. Enjoy a lunch break (not included) before the exciting return along authentic trails, which offer you the chance to discover the wildest and most genuine side of the island.

This tour is the perfect combination of adrenaline, nature and culture, offering unforgettable moments at every stop. Book your Longa offroad adventure now and discover the best of Sal Island like you've never imagined!

1st time with a quad bike, the guide was friendly, cheerful and prioritized safety while also allowing our adrenaline hit. Unfortunately we had a mechanical failure on the transmission of a buggy that came with the group but a replacement was dispatch and it reached us in a decent amount of time. All and all it was a great experience!
