All Cape Verde Tours & Excursions in 2026

Great afternoon, highly recommend to all. You can’t be guaranteed to see any wildlife however Captain spotted a huge pod of Dolphins of which we followed for 15 minutes. Saw sea turtles and flying fish also. Staff very attentive to offering drinks and snacks.

Absolutely brilliant service. Picked up straight away and given lots of information about the island on the way to the hotel. Very knowledgeable and told us some of the best places to go to. Whatapp communications before and after so we had all the information needed to meet at the airport.

Such a chilled experience! We were on an awesome boat, better than other snorkel trips we saw. Staff were amazing and made us feel comfortable. It was not a rushed trip and the time we spent in the water was perfect. I also got injured through my own fault. (Cut my toe) staff had a first aid kit on board and put a bandage on. It was appreciated. I also left my sunglasses on board and the staff notified the staff on the beach and my sunglasses were returned to me. Can’t thank the staff enough.

Highly recommend the company. We were supposed to dock at Mindelo, however we could not due to the weather. Greenline gave us a refund even though it has already passed the free cancellation window. We will definitely book with them again if we ever come to the island again.

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.

It was brilliant deffo for the adrenaline junkies! Had I known about the €99 euro package I would have done all 4 activities to save money! All the team were lovely! Only let down was the driver left us after the Zipline even though we told him to wait as we wanted to do the rings down the hill! Luckily the locals took us back to our hotel! Worth every penny!

I’m SO glad I booked this experience. I’d only been horse riding once before, but the staff made me feel comfortable and confident. The horses seemed happy and healthy. Mine was called Estrella and she was very well behaved. Staff picked me up from my holiday apartment and dropped me back off again. Very friendly and chatty. I would highly recommend. Thanks guys!

A must do if visiting the island! Prompt pick up from our hotel. The excursion is run by the company explore Cape Verde which is an eco friendly excursion company. They are marine biologists so very knowledgable about the sharks. If you’re eco conscious choose this excursions instead of other ones, they don’t feed the sharks because it’s bad for them as they only feed at night. Some other excursions while we were there were feeding them and if we hadn’t booked with explore Cape Verde we wouldn’t know this was wrong. We saw so many sharks of all different sizes it was amazing, some even brushed past our legs as they swam! Brilliant excursion. Was about 30 mins from Santa Maria once we picked everyone up. There is a toilet at shark bay though you have to pay €1.
