The 4 Best Whale Watching Trips in Cape Verde

1.Whale Watching Trip with Motoryacht

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 115 reviews · 3 hours · from $94Our pick

3-hour humpback whale hunt by motoryacht from Boa Vista, with hotel pickup, a marine biologist guide, and drinks included.

“Saw no Whales which was fine- understood the risk whilst booking the trip. The thing that agitated me was the instructor who when asked 'did you see any whales on the morning trip?' (we were on the afternoon slot)- told us 'No, to be honest we are now out of season for the whales we likely won't see any.' keeping the trip open and available to book. Paying £130 for two people, and knowing we weren't really in season. This is greed by the provider, and the option to book should be limited to the particular season. All should be refunded. thanks”
