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.

    It was a great experience but I was annoyed that we were told the day of the trip that we would need water shoes, although the hire charge was only 3 Euros I had water shoes at home I could have used, this information should be available when booking the experience. It was not the cost that annoyed us it is just the principle of the matter

    We had a fantastic experience on the day. I can't remember the name of the lady that was our rep. I'm sure she was Finnish and she was incredibly. This was a one off experience for us and we enjoyed every minute.

    Danish was very knowledgeable and told us all about the sharks’ lifecycle and habits, plus ensuring everyone was safe - these sharks don’t eat people, just small fish and crustaceans! . Beach shoes with a decent sole are essential as you need to wade over about 100m of sharp uneven volcanic rocks. There is a portaloo but you need 1 Euro to use it! Definitely recommend this half day trip if you have any interest at all in sea creatures.
