Fun and interesting half-day tour

Ardice_H, Nov 2022

This was a perfectly paced half-day tour. The artisan workshop was interesting. The dunes were fun and phenomenal, unexpected in scale. The shipwreck was a fine shipwreck, and the beach was beautiful. We also enjoyed the stop at the tide pools and small church. We had a great guide, who was very accommodating and informative.

Amazing tour

The tour covered all of the key highlights of northern Boa Vista as promised. The Viana Desert is something out of this world and a must see if you come to Cape Verde. Our tour guide, Ndiouga, was incredibly knowlegable about the areas we visited and was very friendly. Great tour with no stress!

Idea aproximada de la zona

Javier_M, Jul 2024

Vista de tortugas, y idea aproximada de la zona. Mucho tiempo para escasa zona que ver. Hemos estado como justificando los tiempos en cada parada para hacer la excursion de 4 horas. Es cierto que era un privado con lo cual los posibles retrasos y preguntas se reducen mucho. Pero aun asi hemos hecho la excursion en 3.5 horas (desde la salida al regreso del hotel ) y se podia realizar en menos. Ha cumplido con lo visto segun programa. Lo que no nos ha gustado es minimo 4 llamadas telefonicas ( recibidas y realizadas) por parte del guia no se si personales o profesionales durante la circulacion del vehiculo. El guia simpatico y servicial. Pero en conjunto la actividad no tiene mucho que ver en la ciudad de Rabil vas a ver un artesano de la ceramica que tardas 2 minutos en ver y saber lo que explica ( 20 mt cuadros) que me da la sensacion que es para cubrir tiempo. Recomendaria mas quizas visitar la zona de la capital de Sal Rei y barco naufragado.

Da rifare!
