1.Shark, Turtles, Cave, Sandboarding & Tasting Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 328 reviews · 4 hours - 270 minutes · from $70Our pick

Review of Boa Vista’s 4x4 shark, turtle, cave, sandboarding, beach, and grogue tour, with practical tips on value, timing, and wildlife sightings.

“This is one of the best tours you don’t want to miss out on if you’re staying in Boa Vista. Sandboarding is great fun and shouldn’t be missed. Unfortunately we didn’t see any sharks but hey that’s nature for you. Beautiful Santa Monica beach, caves and seeing the turtles in their natural habitat. At the end of the morning a little local tasting went down a great treat. The tour guides and drivers were fantastic hosts. Recommend it 100%”

Explore Boa Vista’s dunes, turtles, lemon sharks, Santa Monica Beach and local flavors on a lively four-hour 4x4 adventure.

“Really interesting and so fun, one of the best days of our holiday. Such a good variety of activities and didn't feel too rushed - though would have loved a little more time to swim and enjoy Santa Monica beach (only 15 mins - remember to bring swimming stuff!). Freddie was a great guide, very kind, great sense of humour and took time to talk a bit about Cape Verde and the history. Definitely would recommend!”
