A very beautiful discovery of the island of Boa Vista with our guide Jorg, who dazzled us with his mastery of languages!
Sympathy, taste and pride for what they show
A must-do if you are passing through Boa Vista. Very good excursion. And really nice guides
A great day out and an opportunity to see some of the island and villages. The transport may be covered or a pick up with open seats in the back. You get to see a few superb beaches with a chance to swim if you want to. You will also have a stop to see turtles and maybe sharks if the weather permits. There is quite a lot of off road driving over rough terrain and also sand dunes. There was the opportunity to sand board if you wanted to. The lunch was great at a local restaurant in Sal Rei. Our guide and driver were great at their respective roles.
I loved the experience! Wonderful landscapes and excellent guides. It's very worth it.
Simply incredible 👌⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
An unforgettable excursion and one of the most beautiful memories of my stay in Boa Vista. Beyond the beautiful landscapes and the discovery of the island, I particularly appreciated the quality of the support throughout the day. One immediately feels at ease, welcomed with kindness and accompanied by passionate people who love to share their island. Thank you for this timeless interlude, the exchanges, the smiles, and this wonderful energy that made this day so special. I wholeheartedly recommend this excursion.
Great day thanks for the memories
In April of this year, we toured some islands of Cape Verde and hired Spot Travel Tours to guide us on several private tours. They have magnificent conditions and the prices are excellent. We toured with them San Vicente, Santo Antao, Boavista, and Sal. There are no better guides than those that the owner of this agency, Inorlando Luz, has on his team. Great professionals, very knowledgeable about the area, and with the best tips to make each trip unforgettable, with good vibes and very, very fun. It had been a long time since we enjoyed a vacation trip so much. If you are going to Cape Verde, do not hesitate. With Inorlando and his team, I promise that you will return to Cape Verde whenever you can. And the prices for private trips are fantastic!!!!
Perfect. I recommend it for anyone who wants to visit the island.
