We did this as an add on to the “A day on FOGO Island to discover VOLCAN” by the same tour company, which was a great experience. Our guide Milton was wonderful and we had a fun day, but we paid extra for this experience and all we did was stop at the Salinas pool to see it and take pictures. We didn’t tour Sao Filipe and we didn’t get the complimentary Baobab fruit drink. I believe it was just a miscommunication by the tour operator, who didn’t inform Milton that we should be receiving the extra experience, but it was disappointing and not worth the extra cost. If you did this tour alone it would likely be a better experience but just be aware if you try to make this an add on to the “discover VOLCAN” tour. Also, be aware that you can only swim in the Salinas pool from April to November, according to our guide.
