Things to see and do Palmarin

On the main road to Palmarin Facao, the Ecotourism office offers excursions by dugout canoe, horse-drawn carriage and cart. Price lists are available on the spot. The must? A pirogue trip in the bolongs, with a stopover in the village of Falia, with a tasting of fresh oysters. Two women ecoguards in GIE, Ariette and Louise, take care of the visits on foot (hiking in the salt mines or lagoons) or by cart (observation of hyenas). You can also go fishing in the delta or in the sea, among other proposed activities.

Between the ocean and the Saloum arm of the sea, this reserve was created in 2001 in parallel with a reflection on ecotourism, with a view to protecting the fauna and flora that make this area so special. Covering an area of 10,340 ha, it can be visited on foot or by cart. On this occasion, you will be able to observe the processes of saliculture (salt harvesting) around the many wells with coloured reflections, various species of birds and also hyenas.

Here's an information point in Palmarin with a warm and friendly welcome that aims to be a tourist hub for travelers and those involved in tourism. Here you can get all the information you need to explore the Sine-Saloum and discover Senegal, as well as organize your tours, trips and transfers around the country, or book your hotels. It's also a meeting place where you can chat with locals and visitors over a drink or a good meal, concocted with passion by Djibril.
