The soundtrack of tranquil Boa Vista is the sweet tweets of exotic birds. Maybe they’re chattering with loggerhead turtles or with the humpback whales that are known to splash around Boa Vista’s shallow waters. Work up a sweat and hike to the wreck of the Santa Maria, or explore the Duque de Braganca Fort, built to protect the Ilheu de Sal Rei from pirates. The windswept red and tan sand dunes of Deserto de Viana are awe-inspiring.

Absolutely recommend Abel tours to everyone. Anita was very friendly and excellent at giving us plenty of information about the places we visited and Cape Verde in general. The experience itself was fantastic and we got to see everything we wanted in the South part of the island.

Really simple to book over e-mail with Anita. Much more reasonable than TUI. Emmanual was fantastic, really friendly, local knowledge and no pressure etc . to buy things. We had a private tour which was much cheaper than the tour operator, and I'd rather our money go straight to the locals. Definitely recommend.!!!!!!!

Sal Rei Shopping, a cool drink or a walk through the capital Boa Vista Sal Rei? You decide! Shipwreck Cabo Santa Maria About stone and stone, it goes to the shipwreck. How long is the ship already there? For the Boa Vistians a piece of history. Look at the shipwreck before the sea eats it up! Rabil First stop in the pottery. Here you can still see real handicrafts and have the opportunity to buy souvenirs that come 100% from Boa Vista. Desert Viana Passing by donkeys and goats, we leave for the desert of Viana. Never stood in a desert. Then it's time! Learn from me where the sand is coming from. duration; about 4 hours

Starting with a stop at Ribeira do Rabil, rich in vegetation and water we then drive to Povoação Velha, the oldest town of the island, already existing at the end of the 16th century. After a short 15min stop in this small village, from there we then drive to the breath-taking beach at Santa Monica 18 km of virgin beach, pure nature, considered one of the most beautiful in the world where there is the possibility to have a swim (depending on sea conditions). On the way back we pass by the beautiful and almost wild Praia da Varandinha, with its caves carved by the sea, and we finish in style with a passage through the magnificent dunes of Morro D’Areia.

I went on the catamaran tour with my husband and our 15 years old soon. We were delighted with the catamaran, the beautiful views, snorkelling, fishing with the line and dancing! The animation was very funny, my husband who never dances, and here he could not :)! Everything was wonderful! My greetings to the catamaran team and the Barracuda team.

Great friendly service and experience. A truly beautiful island and our guide was wonderful and easy to work with.
We cross the dunes of the magical Viana desert, a true sand monument that the wind has created, then going along the ancient picturesque road we descend to the bay of Boa Esperança where there is the gutted wreck of the merchant ship Cabo Santa Maria (over 300 ships are sunk around the island, it is said because of the strong magnetism of the ground that drove the compasses crazy). Then we will arrive at the capital Sal Rei, a former salt export center, very interesting is the old port, dotted with colorful boats. Opposite is the Ilheu de Sal Rei, the islet that houses the ruins of a fort built to protect the old village from Pirates. In the central square: the Church of S. Isabella, the Municipal Market and various craft shops.

Communication with the manager via whatsapp was very good, despite the slightly makeshift look of the office everything felt absolutely professional. I made a reservation before our arrival and had to alter the deal slightly, the manager handled everything perfectly and was very forthcoming. The Renault Duster we rented left nothing to ask for, sure it had some visual signs of usage as expected for a car thats driven off road a lot, but despite of this it was 100% functional. Only slight downside was that we couldn't connect our smartphones to the stereo via bluetooth. I recommend bringing an Aux cable if music is important to you, just in case.
