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.

    Very well informed guide who made our trip enjoyable. She had lots of information about Cape Verde & the marine life. My 5 year old son was also included in the informing part and some of this was adapted to his level of understanding. Pricing could possibly be lower for children.

    A wonderful trip! Melvin, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable. As a family we were really happy with the trip. I was pleased with Melvin’s approach to the ethical way of showing the tourists the lemon sharks (not feeding them in the day time). A must do trip x
