Regona Natural Swimming Pool
Please note: The actual stop will be at Regona, a stunning natural swimming pool near Buracona, rather than Buracona itself. Due to itinerary limitations, Buracona was selected as the nearest accessible location.
· 15 min

Terra Boa
Terra Boa, located in the northern part of the island, is the greenest area of Sal. Here, you can observe the "Mirage" (or "Fata Morgana"), an optical phenomenon where hot ground rays reflect distant objects, creating the illusion of a desert lake.

· Non-stop passage

Kitesurf Beach

Remember the paracetemolsa q
Karl1664, September 2026
Picked up from hotel on time(ish) but in all reality we could have walked it in 10 mins to tour. Usual safety chat,and a boiler suit fitting.NOT IDEAL for a 30c heat.Also a helmet and goggles which all day really didnt fit over my glasses.The tour is run mostly over dirt tracks,which although the buggies have lights on,you will struggle to see where and what you are following.Various stops along the way.You are given a bottle of water,but that will heat up quick aa basically you are sitting in front of the engine.Watch out for the washboard part.That will shake your fillings out!.All in all,its not a bad trip/4 hours,but lets loose the boiler suits/helmets

Wonderful experience!
W2809TTerikas, September 2026
Excellent experience. The guides are very kind and speak English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian. The tour lasted 4 hours and was full of adrenaline. Anyone can drive, without fear, also because at the head of the group there is always one of the guides who maintains the speed and leads the way. At every stop they asked us if everything was okay and checked our vehicle to make sure everything was in order. Absolutely recommended if you come to Santa Maria.
