A gorgeous experience in Santa Maria, with a lovely crew and capitan. The boat is beautiful, the food provided is great, and the service on board is 10/10. Bring your own snorkelling goggles & make sure you have a bag that doesn’t get too wet, because you have to take a small boat to get to the catamaran, and your stuff might get wet.

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.

I booked last minute, so was wondering whether it'd go to plan, but it was fine. Good communication after booking through Viator. My flight waa late but the driver still waited. Clean, modern car. Polite, amiable driver who knew where he was going. Faultless pick-up service.

Wear sensible walking shoes for variable step levels and rocky terrain for the last 15-20 mins up hill (at older folks pace)where the 4X4 stops. Be careful getting off 4X4 the step does not extend out very narrow my husband celebrating his 69th Birthday fell. Staff were rushing to help and kept close to us after that, fortunately as a Nurse I had sterile wipes and dressings to hand!! Once at the top the views were amazing even on an overcast day. Felt very safe and confident, weighing up and instruction at base camp. Then again at top double checks of harness and encouragement at take off. It was over way too quickly. Got the big now. All the staff were very good, We really enjoyed it and would do it again if return. Our driver was on time for hotel pick up and was a safe driver, he kindly dropped us by bank on way back instead of hotel.

Excellent day around Boa Vista. Me and my girlfriend went with another group and as we all had seen Sal Rei we were offered a slightly adjusted route. We went to the white chapel, ship wreck, Bofafeira farm, Viana Desert and Rabil to see how the pottery is made. Highly recommend the farm and pottery. Big shout out to Clayton who offered the route change and explaining every question we asked. Very chill and enjoyable day 10/10

Bu Country Tours provided an amazing airport transfer experience in Sal! From the moment we arrived, our driver made us feel welcome and at home. He patiently waited for us with a clear sign displaying our names, which was such a thoughtful touch. Courteous, attentive, and informative, he shared helpful local tips during the ride and ensured we were comfortable the entire time. The vehicle was clean and the journey smooth. Their service was reliable, friendly, and professional — exactly what you need after a long flight. We highly recommend Bu Country Tours for anyone visiting Sal. Truly top-notch service!
