What To Expect
Welcome to the west coast of Boavista, where nature did an amazing job! We’ll start our journey by collecting you from your hotel in a 4x4 pickup truck and then head off to Morro de Areia “mountain of sand”, for the first stop. You’ll be amazed with the beauty of this “mini” Sahara! To be more involved, you’ll experience the new activity of the island: Sandboarding to feel free like a child! After this enjoyment, we then drive between the Dunes and along the coast to reach the Turtle’s bay “baía de tartaruga”. There is nothing better than watching animals in their natural habitat having normal behavior, that means they re happy! We keep going and just a few minutes later we reach de Shark’s bay “baía de tubarão” where depending the sea level we can be lucky to sea this amazing Lemon Shark specie! After this amazing experience we go to the Old Village “Povoação Velha”, the first village of Boavista, inhabited by agricultures, fishermen and goat harders. There you’ll have chance to taste the local specialities in a comfy place. The Rum (Grogue) and Licor (Pontche) are a must to try This tour was designed to be nice and cool combining Nature, Adrenaline and Local taste. See you soon!!

5.00Was a fantastic experience Joshua our guide was very knowledgeable friendly and put it as at ease straight away. the 4x4 driving experience over the dunes was fantastic and we had a lot of fun. We saw turtles in there natural habitat. Unfortunately the lemon sharks weren’t out to play the local drink tasting in the oldest village in the island was good fun too. My husband said the frigid could’ve been stronger. (50%) lol We met a lovely family from Portugal and it was just a great trip. Great experience driver was good quiet and friendly. Would recommend to all

5.00Wow what a fantastic trip. Was a great day out! Sandboarding was fun even for us oldies, saw a couple of turtles and the sharks too at a distance. The 4x4 off road ride was a great experience! The beaches were outstanding! The trip to the local village, shots and food samples were great fun! We were made very welcome. We met some wonderful people on the trip too. Just 6 of us.. and our guide Freddy was amazing, informative and fun! Absolutely worth every penny. *Tips.. take sunblock, specially for lips and head, for the exciting 4x4 ride. 😃
Excellent four hour trip
