Departing from the hotel towards Rabil, the former capital of the county, you can admire the ancient Church of S. Roque, the oldest on the island, built in 1801. The village of Rabil seems to be divided between two parts: a past that seemed to have present and present seems to have a future. Here you will visit the factory-school of ceramics (pottery) which seeks to preserve the known parts of nature, which uses methods of making distinctly African roots.
After the visit to Rabil, you move towards the “Deserto de Viana”, a miniature Sahara, with its small Oasis. Solitary palms, dunes formed with the sand that the wind brings harmatão of Africa. The jeep safari continues towards “Povoação Velha” (Old Village) the 1st village of the island established in 1620, when a group of Englishmen began extracting salt which contributed significantly to an improvement in the economy of the island.
The tour could not be completed without visiting its famous beach of Santa Monica; a long sandy namesake of California, with its 18 km long white sand, Santa Monica beach in a single adjective would be AMAZING.
Cape Verde is often lauded as one of the most diverse snorkelling spots in the world. Clusters of coral decorate the islands, drawing in manta rays, massive shoals of tuna, and even the odd turtle. On this tour, you’ll spend the day in our expert guide’s capable hands. They’ll steer you towards the best snorkelling spots on Sal, depending on which way the wind blows that day. The local shipwrecks are the showstoppers – at 10 metres below sea level, you can peer down at the fish that hover above the ghostly crafts.
You’ll come face-to-face with some of Boa Vista’s best bits on this tour. And you won’t be ferried around in a coach, but a monster truck designed to take you off-road and across bumpier terrain. You’ll journey into the heart of the island, across the lunar-like red rock and dusty roads that characterise the landscape. Your first stop is Curral Velho, an abandoned village fronted by a white-sand beach. Secondly, you’ll experience Povoacao Velha, a settlement dating back 500 years, and the oldest on the island. There’ll be a refreshment stop about halfway through the trip.
Starting with a stop at Ribeira of Rabil, rich in vegetation and water we then drive to Povoação Velha, the oldest town of the island. From there we then drive to the breath-taking beach at Santa Monica where there is the possibility to have a swim (depending on sea conditions). On the way back there will be an interesting stop at Varandinha grot and finally finish with the amazing sand dunes of Morro D’Areia.
This one does exactly what it says on the tin – you’re in for a day of complete relaxation onboard a glossy catamaran. Your captain will steer you around the picturesque bay of Praia di Chaves, with its turquoise waves and white-sand beaches. You’ll anchor at one of the bay’s prettiest coves, where you’ll enjoy a two-course lunch. The afternoon is then set aside for tanning on the sand, and paddling or swimming in the waves, before you sail back to your starting point.
Get a grandstand view of the world beneath Sal's waters on this trip. Your craft is the bright yellow Neptunus, which is styled like a submarine, but more like a glass-bottomed boat. Its lower deck is wall-to-wall windows that let you peer right out into the crystal-clear Atlantic. We'll whisk you to Santa Maria bay, where you'll go aboard, meet the Neptunus captain, and sail out into the ocean. Then, you'll have an hour to watch the undersea show, snapping photos of all the goings-on. Cue acres of exotic flora and swaying sea grass. Sashaying shoals of bream and rockfish. And if you're lucky, moray eels, puffer fish, trumpet fish, stingrays and turtles. Oh, and you'll even get close up to a spooky shipwreck. And if you fancy a breather at any point, you can head for the upper deck to soak up the sunshine and panoramic views over Sal's coast.
