“The most memorable part was getting excited about experiencing this with my wife in a room full of people, only to be told I’m too overweight. No where on the entire viator site does it say there is a weight limit. After the manager insisted it had to be, I had him sit down and book it himself. I’ll give it to him cause he did and clicked on every single link and conceded NOWHERE does it say so. He said they are on multiple sites and others clearly state it. He did refund both tickets and still let my wife go for free. That’s great and all, but our…”

“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…”
