Great Tour
This was a great morning out in our holiday. Each stop was long enough to enjoy the moment without getting bored. We did see a couple of turtles but missed the sharks due to cloud coverage and low water. It did not take away from the beautiful scenery and knowledge of the tour leaders.
The tour ended at the cafe for alcohol tasting. Unfortunately I don’t drink so my children and I were left to our own devices looking at the souvenirs. It would have been nice to felt included at this point.

A must do trip
Our guide Nanni was absolutely amazing. Whilst driving around in the lovely air conditioned mini bus he explained lots of the history of the islands. Seeing the shanty towns and him explaining how the tourist tax is helping these families move into government built social housing really hit home. It showed the difference between the resorts and real life.
Blue eye was a so so experience.
Salt lake and the history was amazing.
The lemon sharks was best part though.
1000% recommend this tour 👌

A very full experience,...
A very full experience, due to weather we were unable to see the blue eye but Danilo never let us feel like we were missing anything! We was a wonderful guide who knows all about the history behind every single thing and stop who made us feel welcome and safe at every turn. It was a full day full of wonderful memories, and we had an amazing group which made it that much better. The lunch was great we tried they fish cachupa and it was great!

Once in a lifetime chance
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity that you have to seize when in Sal. I went the first day of the season and it wasn’t necessarily guaranteed that we’d see any turtles, so I didn’t have high hopes. Lo and behold after 2 hours we saw the first 2 of the season! The entire experience is magical. The guides are super knowledgeable and informative and such lovely people! Definitely want to come back and see the babies hatch soon!

A gorgeous experience in...
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.

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.

Banana plantaton & Beach
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.

Friendly, reliable
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.

Wonderful!
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!

Old folks on 69th Birthday 🎂 can fly too, loved it!!
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.

Great tour!
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

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!
