You will be picked up directly from your accommodation, not in the lobby, but at the main entrance of your hotel. Our guide will be waiting outside to greet you and ensure a smooth start to your adventure. Here are some of the incredible spots we will visit on this tour:
Our first stop is Varandinha Beach, a peaceful and secluded location in the southwest of the island of Boa Vista. This paradisiacal beach is split by natural rocks, creating smaller, intimate areas of soft, golden sand. It’s a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the beauty of the island.
Next, we will head to Santa Monica Beach, often considered the most beautiful beach in Cape Verde. This long, 18-mile stretch of deserted beach offers the perfect opportunity to walk barefoot along its vast, white sand shores. It's an ideal place to unwind and escape the hustle and bustle of the city, surrounded by natural beauty.
Here, you can also take time to watch young sea turtles and sharks swimming along the coast, a seasonal experience that adds to the charm of this stunning beach.
We will then explore the Viana Desert, a vast expanse of white sand dunes. In this isolated landscape, you’ll find small oases with acacia bushes, palm trees, and date palms, offering a stark contrast to the surrounding arid environment. The Viana Desert is an extension of the Sahara Desert, but set on an island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, making it a truly unique natural wonder.
A visit to the deserted beach will bring you to the shipwreck of the MS Cabo Santa Maria, a rusting cargo ship that has been stranded here for over 50 years. This eerie yet fascinating site has become a symbol of Boa Vista. The sea has gradually dismantled the ship, leaving behind a mysterious and impressive sight. It stands in front of the enchanting Praia de Atlanta Beach, adding a sense of history and intrigue to the area.
Finally, we will explore the charming town of Sal Rei, where you can take a moment to swim or simply relax on the main beach. This peaceful town is the perfect place to unwind after a day full of exploration and natural beauty.
At the end of this unforgettable tour, we will drop you back at your accommodation, leaving you with lasting memories of the incredible landscapes and experiences on Boa Vista.
