There's free time to relax on Santa Monica Beach, and wander around Povoação Velha

What we expect

This fun-filled tour gives you the chance to delve into some of Boa Vista's top spots. Spend a morning exploring inland villages and roaming the Viana desert in a 4x4, before ending up on one of the island's most pretty beaches. Roberto, one of our local guides, says, ‘It probably wasn't their intention but the souvenir shops of Povoação Velha and Rabil have become unwitting social media stars. Their colourful, kitsch and carefree displays are massive Instagram hits.'

This morning-long adventure kicks off with a visit to Rabil – Boa Vista's second-largest town. From its vibrant streets to traditional architecture, the...

Der gebuchte Ausflug war sehr schön, interessant, abwechslungsreich und preislich fair. Leider wird im Hotel kein Deutsch zur Begrüssung etc verwandt. Alles nur in Englisch und Französisch... aber keine einzige Showbegrüssung in deutscher Sprache. Schade! Das sollte geändert werden. VG Sebastian

Via een eerste stop in de Viana woestijn met sandboarden en een lokale degustatie , werd in Rabil een keramiekfabriekje bezocht waar je een souveniertje op de kop kon tikken. Nadien het dorpje Povoação Velha , de oudste nederzetting op het eiland bezocht. Als afsluiter kunnen genieten van het prachtige parelwitte strand van Santa Monica. Graag ook dankjewel aan de gids en de steengoede chauffeur.

Spent time in oldest place in Boa Vista which was a complete waste of time and only had 30 minutes in one of the best beaches in the world. I complained to reps as I was fobbed as we would spend more time on this beautiful beach but they said it was only the full day 4x4 tour which was wrong as a couple we saw there was told as well to stay on the beach as least an hour. We feel robbed for the price we payed for a lie as well as the most uncomfortable ride we have ever experienced.

Wir haben es eher als Verkaufsveranstaltung empfunden. An jeder Haltestelle waren Souveniershops oder Verkäufer. Der Guide hat ähnliche Dinge erzählt wie auf der Ganztagestour. Z.B. das genau dieser Fahrer der beste der Insel ist. Wir waren enttäuscht und würden diese Tour nicht wiederholen. Wir hätten auch mehr Hintergrund Informationen gewünscht. Sorry aber das war besonderes.

There were only 4 adults on this morning trip so it was all very personal, from being collected at the hotel both the driver and our guide were charming and very anxious to please. The first stop for the sand boarding was fun, and the little restaurant and snack was enjoyable. The stop at the pottery in Rabil would not have been as meaningful with the guide who explained its history. Then the drive to Santa Monica beach was interesting!

First stop desert experience was 50 metres into a sand dune not truly entering a desert to experience the vast openness etc. Second stop at a pottery was one man engraving a flat piece of clay and a gift shop. Third shop at "oldest village on the island" featured building appearing to date from the 1960s. Last stop at (most beautiful) beach was sand with rough scrub and an uncompleted hotel development behind. Truly underwhelming and a waste of a morning.

Rien d'exceptionnel pour cette excursion d'une demi-journée dans un 4x4 inconfortable où il est impossible de se tenir correctement. 8 personnes sur des banquettes qui se font face et empêchent de voir correctement le paysage. La descente de la dune sur une planche est trop courte et les vendeurs d'objets africains trop collants. L'en-cas servi au restaurant n'a rien d'extraordinaire. Visite à la poterie trop rapide et peu instructive. Point positif : la plage de Santa Monica sur un temps court

The car was modified from the trade car to carry goods to a passenger car. One safety measures was forgotten to put handles for passengers. It's easy to install inside the cabin, so passengers are not falling onto each other with any stops during the drive. Those handles are easy to install inside to the ceiling of the car. Apart from this small but rather annoying defect the whole experience was fine.

Het geheel stelt niet veel voor. Je zit met veel personen in een 4x4. Het crossen door de "woestijn" betreft een ritje van een paar meter naar een restaurant en de plaats van het sandboarden. In de dorpjes zijn alleen verkopers actief. Het strand is mooi en groot. Maar verder is daar niet veel te doen. Kortom: niet echt bijzonder.

Angefahren wurden die kleinen Städte nur zum Shoppen in der Keramikwerkstatt oder in den kleinen Souvenirshops. Aus dem Jeep raus, kurze Infos über die Insel, Shopping, wieder rein in den Jeep.Der schöne Strand hatte eine kurze Pause von 25 min. für Baden und trinken an der Bar. Reine Kaffeefahrt.

40 years of holidays and this was undoubtedly the worst excursion I have ever been on. A completely disinterested young guide who gave us no information about either the trip or the country. Jammed into the back of a land rover for the day with poor views. A number of ridiculous stops ending up on a beach with no shade and a dangerously rough sea (okay it was quite picturesque). This was a big fail from my point of view.

The sand boarding was fun but spoiled by sellers who hassled us as soon as we arrived at the dunes. The breakfast snack was not very pleasant, suggest maybe just a pastry and coffee in the future TUI! Drive through the villages were good but again spoiled by by sellers who jumped on us as soon as we stopped. Would suggest in future stopping for much shorter periods or not at all. Santa Monica beach was beautiful, and rescued what would have been a mediocre trip. Suggest longer time at the beach.

MY HUSBAND IS A STRONG SWIMMER SO WAS OK, I HAD TO SIT ON THE EDGE OF THE SHORE. THE DESERT WAS FASCINATING. THE SNOW BOARDING LOOKED FUN, ALTHOUGH WE DIDN'T TRY IT OUT AS WE DIDN'T FANCY THE TREK BACK UP! OUR GUIDE WAS A PLEASANT YOUNG MAN BUT DIDN'T REALLY GIVE US MUCH INFORMATION ABOUT THE PLACES WE VISITED.

Due to my wife's mobility issues, we changed from a full-day to half a day tour. Tui staff promised that my wife would be looked after. This Jeep had a very low roof plus no legroom. A big elderly woman could hardly climb in and out of the Jeep. I had to help her. An over 6-foot man could hardly sit. Our heads kept on banging on the roof when on a rough road. It was not comfortable at all. We were refused to be moved into a high-roof Jeep. I requested a refund as I wasted a day.

The sand boarding disappointingly down a 10/20 metre slope. the whole trip you we were haggled by locals to buy their goods. The ceramics place a little hut and the village again people coming to try and sell goods. Beach miss sold as unable to swim.

Sehr schön war der Besuch am Santa Monica Strand. Ärgerlich war, dass unser ursprünglicher Buchungstermin ohne Angabe von Gründen geändert wurde . Deshalb fand der Ausflug an einem Feiertag ( 50 Jahre Unabhängigkeit) statt und einige der versprochenen Sehenswürdigkeiten konnten nicht besichtigt werden, da sie geschlossen waren. Das hatte man doch sicher vorher gewusst!

Great 1/2 day tour we wanted to see a bit of the island and this tour was very informative. Guide was super friendly & knowledgeable. Would have been nice to stop at St, Monica beach bit longer cos it was gorgeous. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants a taster of life on Boa Vista without being out all day. We will only book trips with Tui for peace of mind on quality.

I really recommend this experience, I particularly enjoyed the sandboarding followed by the catchupa and hibiscus iced tea tasting, but the whole experience is worth it. Go and visit Santa Monica beach until it’s mostly uncontaminated as soon Hilton will build resort and bay and it will certainly loose a bit of authenticity.

Nervig waren nur die aufdringlichen Verkäufer die einen teilweise Armbänder einfach um den Arm machten ohne Erlaubnis. Am schönsten war der Santa Monica Beach. Der Guide konnte auch sehr gut deutsch sprechen. Würde es weiterempfehlen.??

Not value for money. Not impressed really. People were friendly enough. Some of the history of the island was not quite accurate. There should be an option if you didn't want to stay on the beach for an hour to go back to hotel. Just glad didn't go on the full island trip. We were considering the whale trip. Tui rep said whales were seen all week- but speaking to trippers who been on the trip said no whales had been seen all week. So was not appreciated being lied to!

Seated on small hard bench with another at back of 4x4. Cramped, no headroom, little view, and extremely uncomfortable. Access in/out very difficult for 72 and 76 year olds. This alone spoilt the trip. Time at sandboarding would have been better spent at the lovely beach at the end or the pretty village. TUI allowed too much hassling from local traders.

We enjoyed the whole experience. Whilst you have to realise that it is a whistle stop trip, it was a good introduction to the southern side of Cape Verde. The sand boarding was fun and the sights of the villages and surrounding areas were also good. The downside were all the street vendors, but TUI has no control over them, you just have to be firm, yet polite. But on the whole, a good quick introduction to Island life.

Wir wurden nach dem Frühstück abgeholt, waren sandboarden und direkt im Anschluss essen. Da wir kurz vorher gefrühstückt hatten, waren wir allerdings noch satt und konnten das Essen nicht genießen. Die stops waren sehr kurz und am Santa Monica Beach zu weit vom Hauptstrand an einer Bar. Insgesamt hatten wir das Gefühl immer an Plätzen herausgelassen zu werden, wo man etwas kaufen sollte. Die Verkäufer waren zudem sehr aufdringlich.

The first 40 - 45 mins of our tour was spent collecting other participants from their hotels x 2.Wilson, our tour guide was pleasant. 3rd stop was at the edge of the desert, brief sand boarding then into a local bar for a glass of tea and a small local breakfast, both of which were very nice. The worst part - trip to the oldest village - as soon as the 4x4 stopped - local touts pounced - attempting to sell their tat. Felt less than safe at this point. Finally Santa Monica beach, then end of tour

Letzte Station am Monica Beach war happig, da kein schattiges Plätzchen zu finden war, obwohl uns beim Buchen der Tour zugesagt wurde, dass hier eine Beach bar vorhanden ist. Einige sind in den Autos sitzen geblieben, da um die Mittagszeit einfach zu heiß. Insgesamt ok und Becky als Guide einfach top!

Jeeps viel zu voll mit 8 Pesonen, bequemes sitzen völlig unmöglich. Auch der Abschnitt am Santa Monica Beach war der hässlichste Abschnitt, den es gibt. Totale Massenabfertigung. Tourguide Becky und der sehr hilfbsereite Fahrer machten den Tag erträglich. Wir können diese Tour mit TUI leider überhaupt nicht empfehlen und würden beim nächsten Mal wieder einen örtlichen Anbieter wie Baobabtours wählen, da stimmt dann alles.

Too long in cafe, food mediocre. Ok for those who wanted to sandboard but not for others. Too long in shops and at beach. Nowhere to sit at beach even though we were told there would be a beach cafe and seats. Would have liked more time just driving round and being told about the landscape etc.

Wilson was a fantastic guide- very knowledgable and fun. His English was exemplary and we had no trouble understanding him. All the staff- drivers and guides made us feel safe when we went to the local villages. We loved every aspect of the experience. To improve, maybe to take customers to more of the small villages. We found it so heartwarming to get to experience the ‘true boa vista’ through its people and be able to shop local.

Out only gripe was we were told there would be 7 of us in an air conditioned vehicle. There were 9 people crammed in with no air con, as you can imagine it wasn’t very comfortable space wise and it was too hot in the vehicle. The place we visited were great and also to get out of the vehicle and get some fresh air

A taster trip to the island. Sandboarding in Vianna desert! 4x4 across the dunes was advertised but it's not really. It's a 4x4 into the desert... which is fine. A visit to some local villages and a pottery mainly to buy a small souvenir to support the village. A visit to a local chapel and a stop off at Santa Monica beach at the end. It was only a quick stop off but well needed after a hot trip. Stunning beach and good to get in the water, enjoy a beer before heading back.

Other than that , short trip but satisfying.

Daarna verder het eiland ontdekt door een kerk te bezoeken en een pottebakkerij en daarna door richting het strand en zee. Een heerlijke afsluiting aan het einde van de ochtend als de temperatuur al lekker om hoog gaat. Zeker een aanrader, ook met kinderen.

Great trip, more time at the beach at the end would have been nice, we had 25 mins, felt a bit rushed, perhaps spend less time at the first stop and cafe. There were photographers taking pictures during the trip of the group. However it was revealed that in fact, individual pictures had been taken of everyone and these were then for sale to us at 20 euros. I bought them but have since discovered some of them are not of me! Data Protection - perhaps ask first or declare when selling trip.

But the best part of the trip has to be Wilson, he was knowledgeable and funny and made us have a great time. The only thing to change would be longer at the beach at the end

In the back it was bench seating and the seats were high therefore you couldn’t see out the side or back windows. Whole trip my neck was strained looking out through the windscreen so although we loved the trip, the guide and driver were excellent and we very much enjoyed it the vehicle totally let the experience down.

Fantastic guide! A lot packed in 4h trip, but it means a lot of very short stops not leaving much time for sightseeing. Very good trip for a price.

Perhaps more than 1 go at the sandboarding would be good. Paulo the guide was excellent. The Santa Monica beach was also lovely. Possibly could have a little longer at the small town, as there was not really time to look at & support the locals at the tourist 'shops'. If you didn't want to buy souvenirs then it was plenty of time.

Desert & food experience great, ceramic tour a little disappointing and shop needs to accept credit cards, the capital can feel quite intimidating with the competition for selling their goods, Santa Monica beach and bar/restaurant fabulous!

Great value for money, a small insight into the Island and real Boa Vista. Paulo, our guide, was exceptional. Passionate about his country and couldn’t be more helpful. Great knowing that every trip booked with Tui gives a monetary percentage back to the island and helps with education etc. Well done Tui

Went mainly to see Santa Monica Beach but we only had 30 mins there which was not enough time to swim and explore. The group was far too big for some of the places visited like the pottery. There was absolutely no need to stop for breakfast which took another 30/40 minutes which would have been better spent at the beach.

I loved the whole thing! The villages, off-roading on the sand, the driver, guides and ending on the beach was perfect. I probably should have expected it but prior guidance about sellers would have been useful. I happily bought a few items but being forwarned would have meant I brought more money with me.

Also there were a number of photographers taking photos.again you feel pressured to purchase them. 3 ti.es we had to put our card in the guy told us as it hadn't gone through. No receipts were given to us and photos received via email so not happy.. can you explain why this is allowed to happen.

I disliked the plane journey- 5 hours without the offer of water is poor consideration for the well-being of your customers. Worse still, on both journeys the limited advertised food was not available. Spent most of the day without a proper sustenance. Lack of entertainment also made the journey difficult. Children became restive and other passengers tetchy Clients should be told this information beforehand. Had I known, I could have eaten before departure and downloaded entertainment

Got to see some beautiful parts of the island only issue is the hard sell souvenir sellers at ever stop but I think this is just part of the island which survives mainly through tourism. Huge thanks to the tour guide he is absolutely brilliant.

There were so many good parts of this experience! It was fantastic value for money and a lot is jam packed into 4-5 hours! Our favourite parts were visiting the Pottery shop where they played lovely music outside, going sand boarding in the sand dunes, and visiting one of Boa Vista's most beautiful beaches. Even if you are looking to only stay at the resort for your holiday duration, I would massively encourage you to go on this excursion for half a day (ours was in the morning - early afternoon), so you can see what makes up Boa Vista's history.

Did feel a little pressured at times to buy things from sellers (they were fine if we said no…just a little guilt on our part!) but we expected this. Great way to see the island and Santa Monica beach is beautiful! Good chance to see before the big hotels take over.

The best bit of the experience was the visit to the desert and the opportunity to sand dune. I wish we could have spent longer there with more opportunities for this. The beach was also absolutely stunning. I personally didn't find the pottery visit that engaging but the remainder of the trip more than made up for it.

Enjoyed visiting St Monica beach. Would have liked more than 20 minutes on beach to relax and enjoy some more time there. Roads are not great to the beach which should be made clear when booking. Space/seating limited in the 4x4 vehicle. Enjoyed the sandboarding in the desert and visit to bar. Ceramics shop was interesting but again felt too much time was spent here. Guide and information given during the tour was excellent and would definitely recommend the trip to others.

Not sure why we went to the village between the desert and the beach, would have been better to miss this and have more time on the beach. 10 people in one van to get to first hotel is not good. Told we could try sandboarding but on arrival at desert this was no longer available

This is a great little tour. There isn't a lot to see on Boa Vista, but it provided a good insight into the island and was a lot of fun. The guide (Paulo) was great, until it came to leaving a tip. There were 8 customers on the trip, none of whom left a tip, which isn't in most people's culture, including my own (I'm English), so this is no big deal. However, I did decide to leave a small token of appreciation (just €10 but when the trip cost me and my partner £68, I feel we had spent enough). But I wish I hadn't: despite being great for the whole tour, the guide snatched the tip from my hand, didn't say thank you, smile or anything, got in the car and drove off. It really left a bad taste in our mouths after a lovely morning.

He was fab with our youngest son too (7 years old) We loved the sand boarding. We didn’t like as much the pushy sellers in the shops in one of the local villages but that’s not Tui’s fault I guess.

The guide was very knowledgeable and the trip was set out so you had enough time in each place. Probably the one concern was the sellers in the smallest village, they were quite pushy and this may cause some people to feel unsafe. The sand boarding was great, the traditional meal was 'different '. Santa Monica Beach is beautiful, the guide made sure that everyone was safe in the water. Overall a great half day off the sun lounger.
