Itinerary

Full description

Welcome to the west coast of Boavista, where nature has done an incredible job! We will start our journey by picking you up from your hotel in a 4x4 truck and then head to Morro de Areia, the “sand mountain”, for our first stop. You will be amazed by the beauty of this “mini” Sahara! To get even more involved, you will try the island’s newest activity: Sandboarding to feel free like a child! After this fun, we will drive between the dunes and along the coast to reach the “turtle bay”. There is nothing better than watching animals in their natural habitat behaving normally, that is, happily! The species is the Green Turtle and unlike the Loggerhead Turtle, they only feed here and lay their eggs elsewhere. We continue on and a few minutes later we will reach Shark Bay, where depending on the sea level we may be lucky enough to see this incredible species of Lemon Shark! After this incredible experience, head to Vila Velha “Povoação Velha”, the first village in Boavista, inhabited by farmers, fishermen and goat breeders. There you will have the chance to taste the local specialties in a comfortable place. The Rum (Grogue) and Liqueur (Pontche) are a must, as they say that after 3 doses you start speaking Creole! This tour is designed to be pleasant and cool, combining nature, adrenaline and local flavor. See you soon!!

FAQs

What do I bring on a half day / full day trip?
We require guests to be barefooted while on board, since this ensures the safest grip on the surface. We will of course store your shoe wear safely at all times. Please bring a towel, if you want to go in the water. Also please bring sunscreen, and sun glasses/sun hat, if you need it.
What if someone gets sea sick?
If you know, you have a tendency of motion sickness, it can be a good idea to take an over the counter antihistamine, or whatever you usually take for this, before going to the pier (follow the instructions of the specific product). This will most likely ensure, that you will have a beautiful trip. Otherwise we have many ways and great experience in trying to ensure your comfort, and you should not be worried. There are many things, we can do, like letting you steer the yacht, and we all want you to have a perfect trip!
