Your journey begins at Morro de Areia, where you’ll have the opportunity to experience the thrill of sandboarding on vast sand dunes that extend all the way to the sea. As you glide down the dunes, keep an eye out for the local marine life. If you’re lucky, you might even spot sharks or turtles! Next, you’ll head to Varandinha, a protected beach known for its caves and turtle nesting sites. Here, you can explore the caves and observe turtles in their natural habitat. It’s a truly unique experience that brings you closer to nature. After Varandinha, it’s time to relax at Santa Monica, the biggest beach in Cape Verde. Here, you can unwind and bathe in the crystal-clear waters of the Atlantic Ocean. The beach is renowned for its pristine beauty, making it the perfect spot for a bit of relaxation. Your next stop is Povoação Velha, the oldest village on the island, founded in 1620. Walking through the village is like stepping back in time. You’ll get to see the traditional Cape Verdean houses and meet some of the friendly locals. Then, you’ll head to Sal Rei for a city tour. Here, you can indulge in some souvenir shopping, visit the bustling fishing market, enjoy a delicious lunch in a local restaurant, and take a trip to the municipal market and the Shipwreck Museum. It’s a great place to immerse yourself in the local culture and history. Your journey continues to Cabo Santa Maria, located on the North Coast. Here, you’ll discover a “Ship Graveyard” where you can spot the beached carcass of an old Spanish ship. The area is also a protected turtle nesting beach, adding another layer of intrigue to your visit. Finally, you’ll marvel at the Viana Desert, a small Sahara on the island with towering 50m sand dunes. Here, you’ll take a stop for photos. The sight of these vast dunes against the backdrop of the clear blue sky is truly breathtaking. This tour offers a perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and cultural immersion, making it a must-do when visiting Boa Vista. Enjoy your trip!
