We travelled here on a quad tour and wow what an absolutely amazing place! Chrystal clear, warm se water and stunning soft white sand as far as the eye can see. My wife and I walked a little away from the group and it was easy to imagine we were the only people alive in the world, totally peaceful and beautiful, what an experience. We have been to many beaches throughout the world including the Caribbean, this is the best of the lot.

Visit Project Biodiversity's Turtle Hatchery on the beach by the Riu Hotel to observe the excavation of Loggerhead sea turtle nests, learn about the conservation of the species and have the chance to see baby Loggerhead turtles. The public activities are during the turtle season, from August until mid-December. 2020 turtle season has officially finished!

Very interesting talk given by volunteers at 5pm each day at hatchery. Saw baby turtles that had hatched that day being dug out of the sand and put into a bucket for transporting to the beach for release. Good work done by these people and a very worthwhile cause.

We expected nothing special from this botanical garden after reading reviews and given deserted views on the island after round trips across the island. When we arrived we saw an oasis with fresh green trees, various tropical species growing happily, and many animals having a good life. We took great photos. The garden is fed by the water which is re-used from hotel sewage. Very clever.

Perola d'Chaves is a lovely beach bar close to RIU Palace hotel. Feels like a hidden place - sunbeds, parasols, or tables. They serve good coffee! Also a place where you can eat. Not easy to reach, but after a lovely beach walk, it is a fantastic place to enjoy a drink, a meal, a coffe and to swim or tan on the beach. For Western European standards the prices are not high. But for us, coming from a poorer country, it is a bit pricy.

Not something we see very often - a mini desert only a few kilometres from where we were staying on the island. Beautiful untouched (apart from our jeep and a few quad bikes) sand dunes. A must visit if you are visiting Boa Vista!

This place is amazing - you genuinely do float!! Came here as part of the island tour and highly enjoyable. Just be aware the walk there is downhill, but a bit of an uphill climb on the way back so take suitable footwear!

Spectacular. Part of the ‘Postcards of Sal’ tour. Spent enough time here to enjoy this spectacular natural phenomenon. Small bar and trinket shop available too.
