“The gentleman that collected me from my hotel was super punctual with time. When I arrived at the meet up point, form filling was straightforward and well explained. The guys were super chilled and helpful - helping us all with getting the outfits on. Explanation of how to use the quads was done simply...which was good. We were told in advance the stops we'd be making. Our guide was constantly checking that we were all still with him and following in the manner he explained. Our photographer was super bubbly and got some great angles of me throughout the excursion. The views were amazing and we were taken through some…”

“Freddy, our guide, was brilliant. We went in to the middle of the sand dunes and did a spot of dune surfing, Freddy telling us all about the history of the area. We then stopped at a lovely village that looked like a small mid western town and Freddy took us to a bar with some locals, which was great. Also of course informing us of the history of the island and all the Cape Verdian islands. We then went to the Caves which were stunning and finally saw sunset on the huge (14km) completely deserted Santa Monica beach. I honestly can’t recommend this excursion highly enough. A MUST do…”

“Super nette Tourenleitung mit Nicole, die uns geduldig alle Fragen auf Deutsch beantwortet hat. Auf den Pickup‘s ist es teils schon sehr anstrengend, vor allem Richtung Schiffswrack. Ansonsten kann ich die Tour allen für den ersten groben Überblick empfehlen - alles drin. Das Essen am Strand von Santa Monica: top! Nur leider über die GJG-Buchung nicht inklusive, bei den Locals wäre sie inbegriffen. Haben wir leider zu spät gecheckt…”

Our driver was also brilliant, negotiating the bumpy ‘roads’ across the desert and down to the shipwreck! Definitely something I wouldn’t have been able to see if it wasn’t for the tour!”
4-hour 4x4 buggy ride on Boa Vista. Cruise Santa Monica and Verandinha natural arch, Curral Velho ruins, with hotel pickup and guide.
“Super wyprawa, polecam. Profesjonalnie wszystko przygotowane. Z jednym zastrzeżeniem co do reakcji biura i wysłania pomocy w przypadku ugrzęźnięcia pojazdu w błocie. Ponoć jechała do nas pomoc , ale nie dojechała niepotrzebnie straciliśmy ponad 1h. Przewodnicy sprawdzili się wzorowo i jakoś musieli sobie poradzić. Bravo dla nich. Żałujemy tylko , że nie udało się wszędzie dojechać tam gdzie było zaplanowane. Siła wyższa było pozalewane i nie było możliwości dotarcia.”
4WD buggy sprint across Boa Vista sand dunes and desert, with a Fatima Chapel stop and Sal Rei views. 2 hours from $129.
“We had been with Quad Zone on a TUI quad bike booking so knew how good they were. TUI couldn’t book us on this tour on day we wanted so did this via internet- which worked out cheaper. Honestly Quad Zone has been the best company I’ve ever booked trips with in terms of booking, travel, staff and experience. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.”
Every kind of day out on the islands, and the best of each.
