All Cape Verde Tours & Excursions in 2026

Booked 9am slot. Was messaged to be ready at 840-850 pick up site. Was picked up at 910am. Van capacity is 11 comfortably, 14 uncomfortably. I wouldn’t go if there’s more than 9 booked (reserve 2 places for driver and host) AC was on and van clean which I appreciated for the long ride. Please eat beforehand or bring snacks. Plenty of fluids. We stopped for lunch maybe around 1. There are stops along the way so you certainly can purchase some street food or run into a store to grab something. I’m from CV but I wanted to do a tour so I could get the education. It was wonderful. POX was a great driver! Which is important all the time but even more so when you are going up and down windy mountains. Bravo was our instructor, he was respectful and made the day fun. He also is a good photographer. This was a fun full day. I didn’t have to think about what to spend my day doing. Put the day in there hands and enjoyed it. After you eat lunch, you have an hour to enjoy the beach so be sure to bring a towel and swim swimsuit or at least a blanket so you have something to sit on or lay on while you relax. However, you can certainly just walk around the beach if you’d like to. There will be two signs that say: Tarrafal. One is actually etched into the mountain and the other one is a man-made sign that is pretty close to the beach. I’m actually surprised that they didn’t drive us to that sign so that we could take pictures. But it is walkable you can just walk there and get some great pictures. My absolute favorite part of this tour was the farm that we stopped at. It was owned by a gentleman named Thomas. His farm has banana trees, coconut and papaya. He was nice enough to let us try some papaya for free and it was so good. I really loved the banana plantation. It was my favorite part.

We had a great morning sightseeing in the open backed truck, Arlindo was a great guide and made the tasting season fun, even though I didn’t drink any of it, I still felt imcluded, from start to finish he was informative and helped us make the most of of the morning 😊

Great day out! Cliff greeted us with a warm smile and was very informative about the day ahead. He was a skilled driver on the dunes and made it so much fun for my young girls and us!! The stops along the island are breathtaking and other worldly at times - just pristine and untouched - long may it remain like this!
