Overview

Get out for an adventurous sightseeing tour that’s perfect to discover the desert, the beaches, the hidden treasures of this popular destination and more wilderness. This trip will take you to salt flats of Santa Maria and riding on its surrounding sand dunes before continuing to the white sands of Kite Beach. Get to know Pedra Lume Salt Caldera an extinct volcano filled with salty seawater (The Lake is the second saltiest lake after the Dead Sea, so you really do float much better than any normal sea or lake). In Palmeira at the Pier there are always locals doing fun jumps into the ocean. The fisherman will place the fish on the floor which you can buy.

Enjoy a full day island tour and visit places like Shark bay, Salinas salt lake, Espargos city, Buracona Blue Eye, Kite Beach, Santa Maria, Miragem, Palmeira fisherman village and Murdeira bay. Swim in Salt Lake with your group, and have lunch at a local restaurant before going into the sea to see some lemon sharks.

You shouldn't leave the island without bathing in the Salinas thermal waters, where spas, hydromassage and relaxation are available to everyone. Scientifically, the medicinal action of its salty waters is recognised for its healing, detoxifying and metabolic stimulating power, due to the mineral substances it contains. In popular knowledge, there is an even greater healing power in this water. The place has a fascinating lake where anyone can relax and float, even if they don't know how to swim, and their skin becomes soft as if they were exfoliating naturally.
