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.

    Ontzettend goede ervaring , je ziet veel haaien. En onze gids had veel kennis en kon alle vragen beantwoorden . Lang het strand bieden ze deze avtiviteit ook aaN DOE DIE NIET. Zij voeren de haaien en dat is niet goed voor ze om verschillende redenen. Het is goed om wel stevig in je schoenen te staan omdat je over rotsen in het water most stappen. Neem geld mee om schoenen te huren. Een local verhuurt deze, zo kan je ze beter steunen!

    Heel veel info gekregen van onze bioloog. Was reuze interessant. Leuke kleine groep van 11 personen. Veel kleine haaitjes vlakbij gezien en zelfs enkele grote op ongeveer 25 meter afstand. Mooie excursie met bioloog Melvin. Zeker aan te raden. Genieten van de haaien op een verantwoordelijke manier.

    Linde was onze Nederlandse gids en ze deed het echt heel goed. Ze heeft veel respect voor de dieren en hun habitat. Ik zou deze tour zeker aanraden, wij hebben een hoop geleerd over de citroenhaaien

    De marinebioloog vertelde honderduit over de haaien. Het was een heel bijzondere ervaring om tussen de haaien te staan en te voelen hoe ze langs je benen schuurden.
