Retken kuvaus

This fun-filled tour gives you the chance to delve into some of Boa Vista's top spots. Spend a morning exploring inland villages and roaming the Viana desert in a 4x4, before ending up on one of the island's most pretty beaches. Roberto, one of our local guides, says, ‘It probably wasn't their intention but the souvenir shops of Povoação Velha and Rabil have become unwitting social media stars. Their colourful, kitsch and carefree displays are massive Instagram hits.'

This morning-long adventure kicks off with a visit to Rabil – Boa Vista's second-largest town. From its vibrant streets to traditional architecture, the town reflects the island's tough yet resilient spirit. Here, you'll visit a ceramic factory, where you'll see the handiwork of local artisans and might be able to grab yourself a souvenir of local pottery. You'll also get to taste Cape Verde's national dish, catchupa, a rich stew of corn, beans, pork and vegetables – through ingredients change, not just from island to island or village to village, but house to house.

Next, hold on tight as you zoom through the dusty landscape of the Viana desert. Our next stop is Povoação Velha, the oldest settlement on the island. Wander its rustic streets before kicking back on the 11km-long Santa Monica beach. Its sugar-white sand contrasts against fluorescent blue waters like an image from a postcard. If you're an adventure seeker, you can even try your hand at sandboarding.

    Naja es war im großen und Ganzen eine angenehme Tour , das Frühstück war meines Erachtens unnötig was dagegen sehr lecker war war der Holunder Saft. Die Tour Ansicht war wie in Deutschland eine Kaffee Tour , eine Verkaufs Veranstaltung

    Sandboarden was oke en het strand ook maar de 2 dorpjes die we bezochten was uitstappen en je hebt 15 min tijd. Geen kleine rondleiding in de dorpjes. Wij kennen de weg er niet waar stap je dan heen op 15 min.

    40 years of holidays and this was undoubtedly the worst excursion I have ever been on. A completely disinterested young guide who gave us no information about either the trip or the country. Jammed into the back of a land rover for the day with poor views. A number of ridiculous stops ending up on a beach with no shade and a dangerously rough sea (okay it was quite picturesque). This was a big fail from my point of view.

    Leuke trip en gids. je komt op plaatsen waar je niet geraakt zonder een excursie. Dit is ook toegengkelijk voor alle leeftijden en voor degene die graag iets rustig doen. Een minpunt is dat we te weinig offroad hebben gereden. De beschrijving kan beter op de website want onze verwachtingen lagen hoger na het lezen van deze excursie.
