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.

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 😊

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.

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 fantastic overall experience. Together with my partner, we booked the 4h buggy tour, in which we visited a small salt mine, Serra Negra & The Zip Line (not included to take a ride), Lemon Shark Bay (3 euro / person to visit with crocks incl. but no towels & 1 euro for toilet), Pedra de Lume Salina & a kite surfing beach. The roads are rough and you definitely need a face protection / bandana which are not incl., you can get one for 2.5 euros or bring from home. All the stops were perfectly timed, we did not waste any time and we had enough to enjoy the stops and take pictures. We visited in the end of February, when it is very windy, so proper clothing (long sleeves and a hoodie) is recommended alongisde off-roading gear. It was a great way to visit the island in an andrenaline fueled way, full of adventure (not for the feint hearted). Our guide, Hamilton (Sorry if I got the name wrong, I was too hyped for the driver) was very friendly and helpful along the way. The buggies were very easy to drive, all of them are automatic.

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.

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!
