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.

    In totaal is het 2 uur de hele experience en 35 minuten bij de Citroen haaien. Leuke ervaring wat ik tof vond is dat de reisleider net als andere geen dode vis in de zee deed om ze aan te trekken want het is niet natuurlijk voor de dieren. Zorgzaam leerzame experience.

    Fijne excursie. Veel haaien gezien. Heb soms moeite met lopen over stenen in het water. Werd geweldig geholpen door de gidsen. Hebben echt oog voor als iemand moeite met lopen heeft. Wisten veel te vertellen over de natuur. Geweldig!
