The tropical sheltered waters that surround Sal are perfect to learn to scuba dive in. With waters so tempting, you're in just the place to try out scuba diving for the first time. This is the ideal opportunity if you don't fancy signing up for a full course, but you've always wanted to know what it's like to breathe underwater.

Quad Tour and Zipline – Drive and Fly
Cape Verde's east coast is the go-to spot for standout scenery. See it all with a side order of action as you tear across the salt flats of Santa Maria, Kite Beach, and through the canyons of Serra Negra by quad bike. Then, for another angle on the island, hit the heights for a zip-line adventure above Sal's rocky, coastal clifftops.
Santa Maria Jet Ski Experience
Adrenaline-fuelled adventure is the name of the game on this thrilling session. Carve through warm, azure Atlantic waters on your awesomely powerful jet-propelled craft - on what can be either a 30-minute, 1 or 2 hour session. You'll charge down Santa Maria's gorgeous coastline, spewing up a stream of water in your wake. There's 8km of beach front at this spot, so you have plenty of coastline to play with – including exploring the stunning Murdeira Bay. If you've never been on a jet ski before, you're in for a real treat – and these tropical waters are the perfect place to really open up the throttle.
Sal Quad Bike Tour
Mother Nature might as well have designed the beaches and dunes of Sal for quad biking – because they're ideal for this adrenaline-pumping activity. You can choose either a two or four-hour quad ride. Once you've sped past Serra Negra mountains and the white salt flats, you won't be far from Kite Beach. This beach gets its name from the legions of kitesurfers who come here for the huge swells and high winds. This excursion is almost a whistle-stop tour of the island – with a rip-roaring bit of fun in a quad being the icing on the cake.
Cuba Libre Sailboat Cruise
Sailing the Cuba Libre is a sweet sensation. This single-mast yacht sails out of Santa Maria in southern Sal and specialises in all the ‘ings' – sailing, relaxing, sunbathing, snorkelling, swimming and even fishing. Your crew will attend to your needs and get the show on the road. With luck, you'll spot flying fish and turtles. And if you don't, there's always the snorkelling and swimming – crewmembers have their favourite spots for both activities. Cruises are available as either half-day – morning or afternoon – or full day.
Odjo d'Agua Beach BBQ Tour
If you fancy finishing the day in true Cape Verdean style, sign up for this night barbecue. This magnificent boutique hotel ticks all the boxes – a fantastic location, a private beach and a great atmosphere. As you hit Odjo d'Agua Beach, you'll be greeted by the mouth-watering aromas of marinated meats and vegetables being roasted over the flaming coals. The islands have great cuisine – marrying Portuguese, Creole and African culinary influences. Things get a little livelier after dinner, as a crew of local musicians strike up a jam. The Creole beats might well have you up dancing in the sands.

Sal Lemon Shark Experience
Living in the coastal subtropical waters around Sal, lemon sharks are one of the easiest sharks to spot in their natural habitat. After pick-up from your hotel, you'll drive to Shark Bay where your experience will begin. Wade out into the water with a marine biologist and you'll be taught 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.
Secrets of Sal Island 4x4 Tour
The desolate beauty of inland Sal is in stark contrast to the white sands of its coast. After a stop at Murdeira Bay, you'll trundle off-road to Palmeira on the west coast. Its palm-lined streets are dotted with mural-painted cafés and tiny shops. Then it's on to the Buracona lagoon. Next, witness the ocean-like sands of Terra Boa before enjoying an elevated view of Espargos, the capital. Wind down with a natural spa treatment – by floating in the salty waters of Pedra de Lume.
