★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 137 reviews · 4 hours · from $76

4x4 south coast tour from Boa Vista, Cape Verde: Viana dunes, Stanxa village, Bracona caves, and a Santa Monica swim with a cocktail.

“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.

“Je n’ai pas de point de comparaison donc je peux dire que nous avons vu 3 tortues.Une petite grotte. La magnifique, splendide et superbe plage de santa monica et un tout mini village où il y avait seulement un petit magasin inventé par la première personne qui vous accoste et un autre qui a été ouvert exprès pour nous car j’ai demandé un maillot de foot de taille différente. C’est incroyable cette différence de prix entre le premier qui vous existe chez lui et le deuxième qui a un beau magasin avec les prix affichés et moins chers.J’aurais souhaité voir un plus grand village ou une ville comme Rabil. Là…”
