“Exceeded expectations. Saw nest building, egg laying, camouflaging etc. wonderful experience”
Guided west coast hike on Sal to Monte Leão for sunset views, stopping at Ponta Preta, Calheta Funda, and Murdeira.
“Antonio Dias made sure we had a wonderful hike. He picked us up on time and was very kind to answer all of our questions. The scenery is just mesmerising all the way to the end. Many different surfaces, which makes it more interesting, exciting as well as challenging. Make sure you bring comfy shoes for the hike! Thank you for the unforgettable afternoon! :)”
Mindelo by Night: 2-hour guided walk through Mindelo bars and live music, with grogue or ponche and a dance show.
“I really loved this tour. Marion was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and easy to connect with. She shared amazing recommendations for bars and restaurants, and each spot helped me experience Mindelo in a more authentic, local way. I really appreciated how she blended culture, conversation, and fun throughout the night. A genuinely memorable experience — highly recommend!!!”
Romantic sunset at Ponta Preta with private glamping, bottle of wine, appetizer and dinner, air conditioning, and pickup on Sal.
“Normaal niet van de reviews schrijven maar… voor ons een echte 5-sterrenervaring, omdat alles klopte en Marta (en haar collega op het strand) dit meer dan verdienen. Een unieke ervaring & 100% aanrader. Dit voor de verjaardag van mijn vriendin 🔝 Wanneer je voor Kaapverdië hebt gekozen, zou ik iedereen adviseren om dit mee te maken. Top service, alles goed geregeld en lekker. Prachtig!”
Drive a lit SSV through Boa Vista’s Viana Desert at night, chase Milky Way skies, stop at Fatima, then cruise Sal Rei town.
“The evening buggy tour was amazing! The guide was so good and friendly (so bad with remembering names but my partner said he looks like snoop dog!) We really enjoyed it and thoroughly recommend this tour to anyone! Thanks again”
Sal night buggy adventure in Cape Verde, 4WD desert driving with special lights, turtle stops, and a non-alcoholic cocktail in Santa Maria.
“This was an awesome trip! We had two tour guides which where super joyful, fun and all things considered perfect for the job!”
Night 4WD buggy ride in Sal, Cape Verde, with a chance to see loggerhead turtles nesting, plus small-group desert thrills and hotel pickup.
“La possibilità di poter visitare il deserto di notte con delle guide esperte e competenti e di guidare dei nuovi mezzi mai provati”
2-hour night walk in Mindelo with a local guide, live music stops, and smart food and bar recommendations, starting at Le Metalo.
“We loved our tour, had some good recommendations for food and music as a start of our stay in Mindelo.”
Night sea turtle nesting tour on Sal Island with infrared lights, Santa Maria pickup, and expert local guides. Loggerheads, 2-3 hours.
“Was amazing seeing the turtle lay eggs and then cover them before making her way back to the sea. The trip was a lot shorter than expected. Was picked up at 2030 and was back at hotel by 2200”
Sunset hike from Mindelo to Dona Amélia lighthouse with coffee and tea, dramatic coastal views, and a chance to spot sea turtles in São Vicente.
“The view was breathtaking along with the knowledge of our guide. Absolutely a must do when in Cape Verde.”
Cape Verde sunset dinner at Morabeza Beach Club: Ponche drinks, buffet with grilled fish, African drummers, live band, bonfire. 4 hours.
“Very good evening. Pick up was very punctual and the air conditioned transport was most welcome! Arrived at the venue and were greeted with a welcome drink (choice of alcohol or not). Dinner was very good and served either side of the entertainment, which was wonderful and which we were encouraged to participate in. Extra drinks available from the bar at very reasonable prices (€6 for two large wines). Only negative we thought was the evening could have been made 30mins shorter and pick up made at 21:00.”
Enjoy a Boa Vista west-coast sunset dinner at Morabeza Beach Club, with buffet, ponche cocktails, drumming, and live music by the sea.
“Pas de feu de camps. Buffet moyen. Ambiance musicale très sympathique et cadre atypique. Joli couché de soleil”
Thursday night on Boa Vista: Kriola fireworks, dinner at Sal Rei, live music, and caipirinhas, with hotel pickup and German guide.
“Ci siamo davvero divertiti, sono stati tutti gentili e simpatici anche i signori che erano in gruppo con noi.”
