The 9 Best Cultural Tours in Sao Vicente, Sao Vicente

January 18, 2022 Chanda Heide

The skies of Sao Vicente are dramatically pierced by the cocoa peaks of mountain ranges. The island is considered the birthplace of many styles of Cape Verdean music, and revelers gather to howl at the moon during the annual beach music festival in Baía das Gatas. With its gorgeous colonial-inspired architecture, the harbor city of Mindelo is perfect for self-guided walking tours, particularly the Praça Nova quarter and the Rua Libertadores d'Africa.

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.

What a day well spent! Definitely one of the highlights of my trip in Cape Verde. From start to finish everything was perfectly organized between the two islands. The enthusiasm and friendliness of the guides to make me discover the best part of Santo Antao was amazing. We had such a good time as well as a delicious lunch. The island is stunning and my only regret was not to have spent more time there. Next time ! If you are in Sao Vicente, don’t be put off by the ferry ride (it was ok), you won’t regret it.
