  1. Thank you for this – a great video. We are planning to relocate there from the UK for the health of our 4 year old daughter. Heading out to Sal in September for 6 months. If you have any more advice we would love to hear from you.

  2. I was in Sal for 3 weeks last year. I must honestly admit that it was a big disappointment. The people are very nice, but that's about it. You can't go anywhere without being bothered by pushy street vendors. Also the sea and the island itself look much more beautiful on the videos than in reality. You can forget about snorkeling, the current ensures that you cannot see anything. Except for the hotel area in Santa Maria, the island is a big ruin with great visible poverty.

    Pro' s:

    Shark Bay (bring your own slippers and you don't need a guide to see the sharks, don't fall for this tourist trap)

    street dogs, these are really nice and sweet

    Cabo Verde people are really nice

    negative things:

    The fish will undoubtedly taste perfect, but for non-fish eaters the food on the island is not great. We ate out twice a day for 20 days and tried many restaurants, the quality is not good.

    Lots of very pushy street vendors

    Apart from Shark Bay, the salt mine and the cable car, there is actually nothing to do, if you like to lie on the beach all day then this is the place for you.

    I wouldn't have wanted to miss this holiday, but not a second time for us

    P.s Be careful if you take a taxi to Santa Maria for the first time. You will be met by a big dark man, at first he is very friendly and acts as if he is your best friend and he takes you to the shop of his "mother". Cut this man off immediately because he only wants to sell you overpriced junk.

  3. Bueno.. realmente la Isla como tal no vale nada.
    De echo estoy escribiendo desde Sal.
    Fuerteventura le da mil vueltas. Aquí hay un Senegalés en casa esquina de Santa María intentado venderte la moto o intentando estafarte.
    También está llena de prostitutas Senegalesas ofreciéndose a todas las horas del día por la calle principal.
    Hay mucha pobreza y da la sensación de mucha delincuencia.
    En los supermercados es todo realmente caro, mucho más que en Europa y hay ausencia de carne sobre todo y de verduras y frutas frescas. Todo está muy pocho.
    Las playas son del montón, las fotos y las vistas de dron no les hacen justicia.
    Venden a la isla muy bien pero ni por asomo volvería.
    Hay infinidad de destinos más baratos y mejores.
    UNA GRAN DECEPCIÓN 👎👎👎

  4. For me it was one off the ugliest island i visited. It's one big plane desert with a rock in thé Middle. Try thé other islands in Cap Verdie, way better. But i loved thé People ❤

  5. Great, informative video! We are so excited, we will be on Sal in just over a week! We will be spending a week 5km from Santa Maria, is taxis and transports simple on the island? Really want to explore Santa Maria a few times.

  6. Its a paradise lost..Now caters to mass tourism and all the worst that this brings..The most disappointing destination ive been to…Santa Maria,the main tourist town is a litter and dog overwhelmed dump

  7. Olá,
    Ok, já fui lá seis vezes.
    De fato é uma ilha 🏝 maravilhosa, mas têm Praias super, Gentes sem Estresse
    Mas acho falta a História, Prédios da Antiquidade.
    Ok é um País no Começo da Turismo.

  8. My wife and I went to Sal for the first time back in April 2023. It was amazing and won't be the last time we visit. The people are so friendly and the beaches are amazing with turquiose water. Shark Bay was one of the best experiences we've ever had. I got some amazing drone footage from the Santa Maria area. I look forward to going back there.
