What to expect
This morning on two wheels and two feet is a great way to explore southern Sal. Your adventure takes a scenic route from the salt flats of Santa Maria to Kite Beach and on to Serra Negra. Not only will you get to see some of the island's best bits but you'll also get to stretch those legs.The fun kicks off at Santa Maria salt flats after you've received your bike and helmet. You'll pedal your way to the famous Mitu & Djo beach club at Kite Beach. Run by champion kitesurfers, this sweep of sand gets its name from the crowds of kitesurfers who flock here. You won't be catching any air yourself but you'll have a few minutes to catch your breath and watch the pros riding the waves before continuing on to Serra Negra.It should take about an hour on two wheels before you read Sal's highest point – at just over 100 metres. From here on in, two feet are better than two wheels, and the final leg to the summit is by foot. The views from the top will have been worth the effort.

Firstly the guide throughout was brilliant, he was friendly knowledgable about Sal and Cape Verde in general. The cycle was perfect for the ride across the multi terrain route. Interesting facts about Santa Maria, the salt plane, surf kite beach and then to heights where the Osprey’s nest

Just the 2 of us on the tour so was really nice. Our guide Carlos was really friendly and so knowledgeable and passionate about the island and the environment giving us lots of interesting facts along the way. We cycled via kite beach and the salt mines which was really interesting plus had a little stop of at the local indoor market. Nothing was rushed and the pace was ours to set. Thank you Carlos for a great morning!

Excellent tour got to see a different side of Sal. The guide was excellent and very knowledgeable. Went at your pace. Think this should be publicised more.

Really enjoyable morning and got to see a few different sites. The guide (Frances) was excellent. Found out more about Santa Maria, the salt mines and a lot of info about the wildlife around Serra Negra. Cycling not too fast, although is suited to people confident on bikes. Hiking was a short sharp blast and some level of fitness recommended. After being a bit unsure about booking the trip, i would highly recommend it.

Carlos was a great guide. The tour and local information was great. Getting to see Santa Maria, the salt flats, kite beach and the views from the walk up the hill were well worth it! You need to be reasonably fit for this one but if you are and want a great morning out I would definitely recommend

Excellent excursion-the guy really knew a lot about Cabo Verde. The tour was a good combination of exercise and sightseeing. Climbing up to the top of the zip wire was quite challenging, but the reward was the spectacular view. ??

Disappointed that the toilet had not been checked as soon as the airplane took off i went to use the loo and there was no tissue. Overall the experience could have better particularly when landing in the Uk. The flight was not smooth.

A great morning cycling through parts of Santa Maria, the salt mines and kite beach learning about life on Santa Maria and the important conservation work. Our guides Francisco and Diana , two marine biologists, were very knowledgeable and great fun! We walked to top of Sierra Negra for great views. Bikes were not e bikes but comfy and easy to use - terrain not always smooth but easily manageable. Got to understand more about Sal with a good workout. A really enjoyable morning.

Some customers may want a helmet, as a group of 4 we weren’t bothered. An element of fitness would be required and maybe should be mentioned. Excellent informative guide (Frances) nothing too much trouble well paced and awareness of our safety

Amazing guide who was very knowledgeable about the island, it's culture and history. He was very patient and stopped regularly during the hike. What an amazing view from the top. it was well worth the climb! The bikes are very comfortable and easy to cycle on along the town and countryside/beaches. A fantastic morning trip!
