The first stop on the tour will be the Rabil pottery school, where younger generations keep this local tradition alive. It’s one of the few workshops where you can still see examples of authentic Boa Vistan craftsmanship. From collecting the raw materials to modelling and firing, everything here is done by hand.

The next stop takes you to the north coast to admire the wreck of the Cabo Santa Maria, a Spanish cargo ship that ran aground in 1968 and provided for the island's inhabitants in difficult times. You will then head for Bofareira, a small village with less than 200 inhabitants, where you can see the islanders' way of life and shop for local produce and souvenirs.

You will also visit the Viana desert, which can be compared to a miniature extension of the Sahara desert in the middle of the Atlantic. Its beautiful landscapes are constantly changing as it expands and widens, meaning its properties are shifting all the time. Here, you can sample local produce, try your hand at sand boarding and enjoy a stunning sunset in the late afternoon.

Recommendations: Comfortable shoes, a bottle of water, sun protection and cash for your purchases.

This excursion gives you the chance to discover the entire south-west coast of the island, which is lined with long, beautiful beaches.

From here, you will head to the Varandinha caves, which have been naturally formed by erosion. You will then head to the Morro de Areia nature reserve, where you may even catch a glimpse of the sharks that gather here to hunt and mate during the summer season. You'll then have the chance to admire the stunning scenery of Morro beach, where the dunes meet the sea. Finally, you'll reach the village of Rabil, the island's former capital.

This excursion takes you to Sal Rei, the capital of Boa Vista. It was founded in the 19th century by Portuguese settlers and is the island's largest urban centre. Historically, Boa Vista enjoyed prosperity thanks to its salt production, an activity which even gave the town its name – the expression "O Rei do Sal" literally means "King of Salt", an ever-present reminder that salt was once the "king" of the local economy.

At the Museu Dos Naufragos, the only private museum in the country, you can learn all about the history of the ships that have been stranded around the island for centuries, which were a means of survival for the locals in times of drought, and also learn about Cape Verdean culture in general.

You will then visit the Sodade Casa da Cultura, a renovated building with its original architecture dating back several centuries. Here, you will have the opportunity to taste local homemade products, such as Boa Vista's typical goat's cheese, rum and Pontche, a local liqueur, as well as other specialities.

The tour also includes a short stroll through the town centre, as well as a visit to the local market where you can trade with the locals.

On this trip, the adventure begins at Povoação Velha, the oldest village on Boa Vista, which was founded in the 17th century and remains a remarkable part of the island's history. From here, you'll head to Santa Monica beach, the longest beach on the island, which runs for over 12 kilometres and has been named one of the 25 most beautiful beaches in the world.
After a break for swimming or simply enjoying the beach, you will then continue along the south-west coast to a second beach, Varandinha, which is dotted with rock formations and natural caves. As you continue along the west coast, you'll stop off at the Morro de Areia shark bay, where you'll have a good chance of spotting lemon sharks and turtles.
