Our guide Eddy and the driver Bap were great companions. They guided us very well, but also did not want to talk to us all the time. The lake and salt processing were interesting, the jeep ride over the dunes and along the beach class. Then to the turtle village, where an animal expert explained everything thoroughly and translated Eddy. The kicks were phenomenal. We saw a lot of suburbs and villages and people's everyday lives during the car journey. Our companions have always asked us about our wishes and guided us safely through the day. Thank you.
They said it was a pink lake, but it was a very pink color. Despite the sunshine. Isn't the picture almost fraudulent? I even thought that was the case. But it was nice to be able to get a ride on the boat and see them hand-picking the salt from the bottom of the lake. I wish the guide wouldn't be late and leave early for personal reasons (dropping by my parents' house).
Hi Thank you for your feedbacks .It was better to write in English as we don't speak Asia languages. The only point is you said you enjoyed the tour to Lac Rose when we asked you about it on viator message platform and now it seems there is something wrong. Just let us know about it.
Banal lake that is not worth a visit. Very poorly landscaped surroundings despite a real potential. Only way to save his passage on the spot, ancillary activities like quad biking. Go your way!
Vous vous êtes trompés d'adresse car nous n'avons pas organisé une excursion au Lac Rose le 14 Aout ..D"ailleurs ça fait plus de deux semaines qu'on n"a pas organisé d'excursion au Lac rose.La dernière fois qu'on a organisé cette excursion c’était pour des clients parlant Anglais. Nous vous prions de retirer votre commentaire et de le poster sur la page de celui qui a organisé votre excursion. Merci.
Had a great time at the lake. Enjoyed a quad bike tour for over an hour. great value and enjoyed the boat trip. I will be visiting again next year!
Thank you for sharing your trip experience in Senegal with us.We are glad you enjoyed your trip to Lac rose. You are welcome.
Beautiful scenery, decent restaurant, interesting encounters, we only missed pink... no trace... What a pity, we fell badly, I suppose it must be pink at times...
Merci pour votre commentaire.En effet le lac n'est pas toujours rose.Vous avez plus de chance de le voir rose pendant les jours ensoleillés.On ne peut pas contrôler la nature.
As usual in Senegal a warm Welcoming and people met that gives you life lessons thank you for what you are
Merci pour votre commentaire.En effet le Sénégal est un beau pays à découvrir. Cordialement
This was straight up false advertisement. When we got here the lake was not pink at all very muddy. The only saving grace was other activities to do around here, but if you are coming to see pink lake, don't expect anything special (see photo below).
This was not a false advertisement as most visitors know the lake is not pink all the time and the local guide always explain it as do many guide books on Senegal. So you are wrong to say it is a false advertisement and you can find a lot of pictures of the lake with pink color with real traveller like you. Thank you
I loved the lake. It was not as pink as in the photo but there were indeed parts where large pink spots were distinguished. And we made part of the final stage of the Paris Dakar with right to dunes and all. It was very fun. As for the turtle park: it is not expensive and we always help in the conservation of the species. We have seen several species of turtles and it is a beautiful walk through nature.
