This was a really great excursion. Fernando was our driver, and Adriana was our guide. They were both very upbeat and happy. The hike to the lighthouse was a bit rougher than we anticipated; however, we’re in our 80s and had no trouble because we are fit. If anyone has vertigo, we do not recommend it because the entire hike is on the edge of a cliff without a railing. Adriana was very considerate, offering me a hand in the tough parts of the path, but I didn’t need it. After the lighthouse hike, we had a beautiful walk across a beach to a small fishing village where we boarded a small, wooden boat to go to a spot where we swim with fish and turtles. My husband swam to shore where he was able to do a little body surfing while he waited for our boat to return. It was perfect excursion for us! We then had a delicious fish lunch at the restaurant before returning to our cruise ship. We HIGHLY recommend this tour!
From the first moment to the last moment of our holiday through Vivencia Travel, we experienced the service of Cabo verde as super good. The pick-up services were always on time and extremely friendly. And our tour guides were top notch. We enjoyed Adriana who took us on a very nice, cozy and interesting tour on Sao Vicente for two days.
Hi Jolanda, super bedankt voor de positieve feedback. Heel erg fijn dat jullie zo'n fijne rondreis hebben beleefd op Kaapverdië met Cabo Mundo en Vivencia travel. Veel zonnige groetjes van het Cabo mundo team
Snorkeling with turtles done with children. It was amazing! In our case small scale and quiet. Everyone friendly and helpful. One of my children didn't want to go in the water, but was allowed to help in the boat and liked that too. Extra credit to guide Richard for sharing his knowledge and enthusiasm!
Thank you very much for the nice feedback, we're really pleased you enjoyed the day trip with us in Cape verde!
Wilian was a very nice and humble guide with interesting information. We did the Turtle experience and the 6 hours tour with lunch. I would recommend both. My wife and me enjoyed the trip, conversations and the delicious lunch!
Awestruck and guide. The hike to the lighthouse is amazing, the local food and drink is great and the swimming with turtles magical. You just need to book this one.
We didn't do the hiking portion, just the snorkelling, but it was remarkable. At any stage, we had six or eight large loggerheads swimming beneath us and a vast array of fish. Apart from a little confusion as to where to be picked up, everything else ran to clockwork and I would highly recommend this tour. I organized this online weeks beforehand and the office staff were always quick to respond to my questions. Hats off to all the wonderful staff!
