This one does exactly what it says on the tin – you’re in for a day of complete relaxation onboard a glossy catamaran. Your captain will steer you around the picturesque bay of Praia di Chaves, with its turquoise waves and white-sand beaches. You’ll anchor at one of the bay’s prettiest coves, where you’ll enjoy a two-course lunch. The afternoon is then set aside for tanning on the sand, and paddling or swimming in the waves, before you sail back to your starting point.
The 4-hour (south) tour takes you to the stunning Santa Monica beach where you will gaze upon the 18km stretch of pure untouched white sand. Enjoy a paddle in the sea (but be careful of the waves) before jumping back on the bikes where you then whizz along the coast and finally finish off the day driving over rolling sand dunes! All you need to drive is be 18 or over with a full UK driving licence, passengers 14 years or older. Not Suitable for pregnant women. The 2-hour (north) tour takes you to the haunting shipwreck of Santa Maria on the north coast. A break to take some photos before heading back, enjoying the breath taking views of the island along the way.
This night out makes for a great alternative to dinner at your hotel. You’ll be driven to Hotel Morabeza, a luxurious beachfront retreat near the town of Santa Maria. Dinner is served al fresco, and it’s a two-course affair of Cape Verdian dishes – choose from the likes of meat, fresh fish and lobster. You’ll enjoy your meal with the sand beneath your toes. And the night-time soundtrack comes courtesy of the Atlantic Ocean waves.
Discover the highlights of Sal. Lunar landscapes, the legendary Buracona Lagoon, the Mirage of Terra Boa and dramatic coastlines. Not forgetting the perfect end to the most popular half day tour, Salinas de Pedra de Lume where you can relax and float in the salt lakes just as you can in the Dead Sea.
Enjoy our lobster or fresh fish, by the sound of traditional Cape Verdean music, in one of our seaside restaurants.
And feel the famous Cape Verdean "morabeza". Our way to make you feel welcome!
Leaving the hotel around 19h30, we follow towards the seaside restaurant where guests are greeted by a cocktail.
Upon arriving, enjoy a menu that starts with a goat cheese appetizer or tuna carpaccio, a delicious grilled lobster or fresh fish according to what you have booked.
Without forgetting the typical local dessert: pudding dessert or cookie ice cream. Delicious!
The menu also includes 1 bottle of water for 4 guests.

This trip is Boa Vista in a nutshell. You’ll start the morning with a drive to Cabo Santa Maria. In 1968, a transport ship ran aground a few miles off the coast here, and you can still see the skeleton of its hull. It’s a pretty eerie sight. The remains look like a rusty carcass that’s been gnawed and mauled by the waves. Your next stop will be Rabil. Once the island’s capital, this city has a different significance today – it’s the epicentre of Boa Vista’s pottery industry. You can visit a few of the ceramics workshops and pick up plates and bowls made by artisans. From here, you’ll head inland to see the desert-scape that stretches for 8 kilometres across the centre of the island. The white sands here are whipped into Mr Whippy-style dunes. Before the trip ends, you’ll spend some time on Santa Monica Beach. Tourism hasn’t touched down on this strip of sand. What’s more, it’s known as one of the top 5 beaches in the world.

Lobster is a Cape Verde speciality, and few do it better than the Atlantis restaurant. On this trip, you can choose from a menu that ticks off everything from seafood pasta to a straight-up half of locally-caught lobster. Artfully-arranged fruit and ice cream desserts round off the menu. And, if you really fancy treating yourself, you can throw a bottle of Prosecco into the mix. The location of the Atlantis is hard to beat, too. It’s right on wide Santa Maria Beach and has a sand-side terrace with wide-ranging ocean views. Everything’s finished off with a live music soundtrack.
