Itinerary

Full description

You will be picked up at your accommodation, not in the lobby, but we will be waiting for you at the main entrance. Here are some of the spots we will visit: Varandinha Beach / Sand Cave This is a quiet beach located in the southwest of Boa Vista Island. It is considered a paradise beach, being cut by rocks that divide its extensive sand into smaller areas. Santa Monica Beach The most beautiful beach in Cape Verde. The beach is very long (18 miles) and deserted. Here you will walk barefoot on the immense deserted white sand beach and relax from the stress of the cities. Take time to watch young sea turtles and sharks swimming off the coast (seasonal). Viana Desert Huge white sand dunes. With small oases where you can find acacias, palm trees, coconut trees and date palms. Nature is pure, just as it should be. The Viana Desert is an extension of the famous Sahara Desert, but now on an island in the middle of the Atlantic. A beautiful landscape that is worth visiting. Take a stroll and visit a deserted beach where the MS Cabo Santa Maria shipwreck has been lying for over 50 years. Today it is an important landmark and symbol of Boavista. The rusty cargo ship sits in front of the charming coastline, right next to Praia de Atlanta. Over the years, the sea has gradually dismantled the ship. The current state of the wreck and its location have something of a mystery. Very impressive! Visit the town and take some time to swim or relax on the main beach of Sal Rei. At the end, we will drop you back at your accommodation.

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!
