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.

    The whole experience was very good. Thought the explanation of the tour was misleading. Need to explain that the approach to the sharks in the water is very rocky and uneven. Many people struggled getting to the sharks. Also explain that swim wear is required- many people entered the water in shorts and t-shirts.

    Great experience, picked up from the hotel on time. The guide pointed out lots of interests along the way telling us about the local area. Seeing the Sharks was great and learning about them from a passionate guide made all the difference. It’s a shame they aren’t protected yet and it was annoying seeing groups feeding the Sharks and trying to touch them. All in all a great trip out.
