All Cape Verde Tours & Excursions in 2026

I had an absolutely incredible full-day tour of Santiago Island, and I cannot recommend this experience enough—especially with Pox (our driver) and Antonio (our tour guide). From start to finish, they went above and beyond to make the day both enjoyable and deeply informative. Antonio is extremely knowledgeable about the island’s history, culture, and local communities. He didn’t just give surface-level information—he provided real insight into the traditions, lifestyle, and stories that make Santiago so unique. You can truly feel his passion for sharing his culture. Pox, our driver, was equally amazing—professional, friendly, and made us feel completely safe and comfortable throughout the entire journey. The roads and terrain can be challenging in certain areas, but his skill and calm demeanor made the experience seamless. What really stood out was how authentic the tour felt. This wasn’t just a checklist of tourist spots—it felt like a genuine connection to the island and its people. We visited local communities, experienced real Cape Verdean life, and had the opportunity to ask questions and engage in meaningful conversations. If you’re visiting Cape Verde and considering a tour of Santiago, do yourself a favor and book this experience—and if possible, request Pox and Antonio. They truly made this a highlight of my trip. Thank you both for such a memorable and enriching day!

We had a fantastic full day tour with Paulo. He passionately told us a lot about the island life, the challenges, the history, the current situation of Cabo Verde and the kind and tranquil people. Very interesting! They picked us up at our hotel, eventhough we didn't stay in the city center. Tomorrow we leave for Santo Antao and probably will book you for another fantastic tour there. Thanks!

Nany was a super guide, very knowledgeable about all the areas and a clear local! I wouldn’t say the trip is suitable for trips personally it was long and a lot of driving on bumpy roads, again people who get travel sick may not cope on the roads it did feel like a rollercoaster! Some parts were a let down the blue eye cave had no sun I wish we had longer to swim given there was nothing to see. The sharks were spectacular!
