Sal Island, in Cape Verde, is one of the most sought-after holiday destinations for travelers from around the world. With sunshine all year round, white sandy beaches, and the crystal-clear waters of the Atlantic Ocean, the island offers the perfect setting for those looking to relax, explore nature, and enjoy unforgettable experiences.
At the heart of this tourism experience is Santa Maria, the most dynamic and touristic town on the island. It is also here that we at Herimar Adventures welcome visitors every day, helping them discover the most incredible places on Sal Island.
You can find us at the Hotel Royal Horizon Ponta Sino, where we have our stand and service desk ready to help guests and visitors plan the best excursions and activities on the island.

Posted on Chloé ZhangTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Super expérience d’apprentissage du kitesurf ! Spot magnifique et ambiance au top, avec un moniteur très pédagogue, rassurant et s’adapte vraiment au niveau de chacun. Les patrons forment un couple adorable, très serviable et extrêmement accueillant, ce qui rend l’expérience encore plus agréable et mémorable.Posted on M KITrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If I could I would rate 10 stars. The location is convenient, the prices are good and the owners are very kind. We did kite surf lessons with my friends and we unexpectedly added hours because we loved it so much. Léo the instructor is patient, knows the kite very well and is super Nice! I really recommend.Posted on Sebastiaan de GraaffTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ho fatto 2 giorni di lezione e ho imparato molto! Bravi!Posted on Sven F.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. At the beginning of January 2026, we booked an exclusive kiteboarding course with Herimar at Royal Horizon Beach. The booking process was straightforward and friendly. The kiteboarding instructor was top-notch, a local champion with excellent teaching skills. The strong, consistent wind at that time was fascinating. In short – well worth it.Posted on connolly houseTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What an absolute top top bloke, so friendly and accomodating. Had a fantastic afternoon and genuinely can't fault any of it!!!
