Tour to discover the main attractions of the island through the famous Corda road. You’ll be passing through Água das Caldeiras, Ribeira Grande, Ponta de Sol and, of course, Paúl. A fabulous contrast between the aridity of the south side of the island and the forest in the heights, with luxuriant vegetation in the north. Not to be missed!

What a day well spent! Definitely one of the highlights of my trip in Cape Verde. From start to finish everything was perfectly organized between the two islands. The enthusiasm and friendliness of the guides to make me discover the best part of Santo Antao was amazing. We had such a good time as well as a delicious lunch. The island is stunning and my only regret was not to have spent more time there. Next time ! If you are in Sao Vicente, don’t be put off by the ferry ride (it was ok), you won’t regret it.

My boyfriend and I did a tour in Sal start of December. We booked this tour to get a general impression of the island. First of all the tour itinerary has been put together very well - you can see all highlight spots of the island. Second we had a fantastic guide, that can speak very well English and who is very easy going, cheerful and chatty. We enjoyed a lot the time spent together with the tour guide, who ensured we had the best experience on the island. For example he arranged we could taste some local wine and rhum at a bar of a friend. But the most amazing thing was that he arranged a private entrance to the Salinas, which at that time were closed for tourists. This experience has been amazing and we thank him a ton for this unique experience. Last also he was not strict with the time of the excursion at all and i believe we extended the duration of at least 1 hour. Had the best time on the island!!! Thanks a lot!!!

We went on the full day Sal island tour and can highly recommend this company. Chan was our guide and he was friendly, funny and informative. I think each stop was timed well so we didn’t spend too long in each place. I particularly enjoyed swimming in the blue isle place so make sure you bring a swimming costume!

Sal Rei Shopping, a cool drink or a walk through the capital Boa Vista Sal Rei? You decide! Shipwreck Cabo Santa Maria About stone and stone, it goes to the shipwreck. How long is the ship already there? For the Boa Vistians a piece of history. Look at the shipwreck before the sea eats it up! Rabil First stop in the pottery. Here you can still see real handicrafts and have the opportunity to buy souvenirs that come 100% from Boa Vista. Desert Viana Passing by donkeys and goats, we leave for the desert of Viana. Never stood in a desert. Then it's time! Learn from me where the sand is coming from. duration; about 4 hours
