“Our tour guide Jamal (sorry if I got the name wrong) was amazing! Really great at storytelling the sites that we saw along with getting the historical facts right. He was really easy going, and adapted to us especially as we had a 1year old and a 4 year old with us. Would definitely recommend!”

“Wij waren samen met gids Vera en chauffeur Bernardo op stap. De groep bestond mooi compact uit 4 personen. De gids Vera nam alle tijd en wist veel te vertellen over het eiland en Kaapverdië in het algemeen. Chauffeur Bernardo heeft ons op een veilige manier de mooiste plekjes van het eiland laten zien. We bezochten een oude pottenbakkerij in Rabil, waar de gids ook alle tijd nam om van alles over de lokale bevolking te vertellen.

Explore Boa Vista by 4x4, from Rabil pottery and the Santa Maria shipwreck to Sal Rei, with Cape Verdean snacks and drinks.
“Nous avons aimé l’épave du bateau, la plage Atlanta, l’encas Cap-Verdien, la balade dans Rabil et Sal Rey, par contre à la poterie, les postiers ne travaillaient pas, dommage nous aurions bien aimé les voir faire, pas de visite des 2 églises, celle de Rabil en plein travaux et la chapelle de Fatima fermée à clef.

Review of Boa Vista’s four-hour tour to Viana Desert, Cabo Santa Maria shipwreck, Fatima Chapel, Rabil pottery, and Sal Rei market.
“Die Sehenswürdigkeiten waren top! Leider hat unserer Fahrer jedoch den Besuch der Fatima-Kapelle ausgelassen.

Man muss dann echt viel diskutieren um die Verkäufer wieder loszuwerden. Viana-Wüste und das Schiffswrack sind jedoch absolut sehenswert. Evtl kann man diese Highlights etwas einfacher auf einer Quad-Tour ansteuern.”
