Cape Verde · TARRAFAL & THE NORTH COAST
5 reviewed
A short list on purpose: the 5 tarrafal & north coast tours worth a slot in the week, each with its price, its length and the one detail that decides it.
Praia to Tarrafal on Santiago: breakfast with a local family, Assomada Market, Serra Malagueta views, and swimming at Tarrafal Beach.
“It was amazing, we have seen the countryside, villages, the mountains, the beach, tasted delicious local food. The island Santiago is so beautiful, and the guides are great, speak several languages, and have a lot of information to share.”
Meet a local family, cook breakfast, shop Assomada, then swim at Tarrafal Beach on a small-group Santiago island day trip.
“I had a fantastic time with this day tour. They fit in lots of things and the cooking workshop and market visit are particular highlights. Ivana and Nilton were really friendly and knowledgeable guides. Would recommend to anyone looking to visit Santiago island.”
Trek Serra Malagueta Natural Park and unwind at Tarrafal Beach on Santiago, with hotel pickup and picnic on this 8-hour tour.
“Elisanto was an awesome guide and I will rate it a 10/10”
Hike Serra Malagueta to Principal on a small-group trip, then enjoy a home-cooked lunch with locals in Principal Valley.
“Merci à notre guide plein de joie et d’humour avec le repas chez Mama qui nous a chaleureusement accueilli. On en a pris pleins les yeux, c’est magnifique ❤️”
Serra Malagueta guided hike from Praia plus Tarrafal swim and picnic. Moderate 8.5 km loop, endemic birds and plants, small group value.
“Guide très sympathique, parlant parfaitement le français et très cultivée (biologie, histoire etc...). Expédition relativement facile, marche d'environ 3 heures, très venté, brumeux et relativement frais vers les sommets. Paysages magnifiques. Visite d'un village tenu par une communauté vivant comme les indigènes de l'époque (mais on a vu un poste TV qui fonctionnait...!!).”
