Everything was well organized. The guide was very nice. Fortunately we speak Portuguese as the French speaking guide was not available. The SUV was working fine. We bought some souvenirs and took several pictures.

The driver on the tour was Joseil, who was an extremely competent driver. He was also extremely informative about the island and its history. The tour included, sand dunes, a ship wreck, a visit to the smallest village on the island and a ride across the Viani desert. All in all a great morning! Thank you No limits Adventure for an exciting morning. I can’t wait for the next tour, which is planned for next week.

This was a perfectly paced half-day tour. The artisan workshop was interesting. The dunes were fun and phenomenal, unexpected in scale. The shipwreck was a fine shipwreck, and the beach was beautiful. We also enjoyed the stop at the tide pools and small church. We had a great guide, who was very accommodating and informative.

The tour covered all of the key highlights of northern Boa Vista as promised. The Viana Desert is something out of this world and a must see if you come to Cape Verde. Our tour guide, Ndiouga, was incredibly knowlegable about the areas we visited and was very friendly. Great tour with no stress!
