Janet, the guide was very friendly and informative. My wife and I enjoyed this trip. The bus was behind schedule picking us up from our hotel. The water and biscuits in the tent was just a bit of fluff to pack out the time I feel but regardless, would recommend.

I had the most amazing experience turtle watching in Sal with Janet as our guide. She was absolutely fantastic – knowledgeable, passionate, and made the whole evening feel really special. Janet explained everything clearly about the turtles’ nesting process and how we could observe them respectfully without disturbing them.
Her enthusiasm was contagious, and you could tell she truly cares about the turtles and their protection. We felt safe, well looked after, and came away with not only unforgettable memories but also a deeper understanding of these incredible creatures.
If you’re visiting Sal, I can’t recommend this tour with Janet enough – it was a highlight of our trip!
