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.

    Our guide Lyn(Lin?) was fabulous! Super friendly,explained what we would be doing,how long it would take etc etc The experience itself was incredible,we learnt not only about the sharks themselves but Lyn gave us a great insight into the local history and culture as well. Absolutely loved how passionate Lyn was,not just about the sharks,but about marine conservation in general. So glad we went with Tui and an ethical and ecologically minded guide. 100% recommend.

    The biologists were very friendly and informative. And went the extra mile with certificates for our children and pointed out different land marks along the way.
