You'll roam over the sands of the Viana Desert in a rugged 4x4
In Rabil, you'll see local craftsmanship at the ceramic factory – and maybe a find a souvenir, too
You'll get to sample Cape Verde's national dish, catchupa stew, in a tasting session
There's free time to relax on Santa Monica Beach, and wander around Povoação Velha
Your local guide will bring stories of Boa Vista and its villages to life throughout the tour
What to 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 town reflects the island's tough yet resilient spirit. Here, you'll visit a ceramic factory, where you'll see the handiwork of local artisans and might be able to grab yourself a souvenir of local pottery. You'll also get to taste Cape Verde's national dish, catchupa, a rich stew of corn, beans, pork and vegetables – through ingredients change, not just from island to island or village to village, but house to house.Next, hold on tight as you zoom through the dusty landscape of the Viana desert. Our next stop is Povoação Velha, the oldest settlement on the island. Wander its rustic streets before kicking back on the 11km-long Santa Monica beach. Its sugar-white sand contrasts against fluorescent blue waters like an image from a postcard. If you're an adventure seeker, you can even try your hand at sandboarding.

Poor
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.

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

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.

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.

It was a really fun experience being able to try local food and see the local villages. We did get annoyed at the locals who each try to get you into their shops and you have to be persistent to get them to leave you alone. Other than that it was a brilliant experience and everyone was very friendly especially our guide Stefan.

It all felt a bit too rushed , Paulo was absolutely fantastic as a guide ; the beach is absolutely breathtaking, the tasting is so humble and yet so full of authenticity and flavour , kudos to that, absolutely mesmerised by the fact that others didn't like it but there's a certain stereotype for that case ,I mean healty and tasty it's mostly definitely not for everyone, probably beans on toast sounds more appealing for certain individuals. Other than that , short trip but satisfying.

Very educational excursion around parts of Boa Vista courtesy of our guide Paulo. There is nothing this lovely guy doesn’t know about his own island and the rest of the world. We visited a couple of towns and experienced a view of how the locals live which is an eye opener. Our last stop was a swim at Santa Monica beach. Absolutely stunning and we didn’t want to leave. I recommend this tour 100%

We booked this on a whim as there wasn’t a lot to do on the island and so glad we did. This little trip was full of surprises, at no point does it say about going sand boarding which was so much fun. the pottery was so quaint, with zero pushing you were free to look around and the “paparazzi” took some amazing shots. 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

There were three 4x4’s travelling together. Two were newer and we were in the older style. 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.

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.

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 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.

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

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.

Loved seeing some parts of the island, how the locals live in the villages and the beaches were stunning Be prepared that you willl be approached by the over friendly locals who will want your money/custom but that’s to be expected as a third world country.

The guide Paulo was amazing! Such good knowledge and interest. Made us laugh and we totally enjoyed our time with him. 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.
