Best tour on the island - We had such a wonderful time, this trip is a must. Such a personalised experience and we had the honour of meeting such a welcoming, kind and loving family. The whole day was tranquil and relaxed. Experiencing local culture and being able to milk and feed the goats as well as see other animals and the fruit and vegetables growing on the farms were brilliant. Our guide Aritson communicated so well before the trip and accommodated for us being vegetarian and was so knowledgeable and professional throughout, happy to answer any questions. The lunch and goats cheese were both delicious and the village colourful and beautiful but most of all the family inviting us into their homes and learning about their culture and lives made it hard to leave, a very humbling experience from skilled, hard working, kind people who we can learn a lot from. If you are looking for a real cape verde experience, a chance to relax in nature and meet wonderful people please do book this tour, we are so very glad we did.

An amazing insight into the daily life of a Cabrer - From the start the communication was fantastic, a clear whatsapp message before the date to indicate times. The actuall experience was very authentic, very hands and even got to try Boa Vistas traditional cuisine. Aritson was extremely friendly and made us feel at home, by showing us his roots and lifestyle. He answered all questions that we had. Highly highly recommend this excursion and tasting the award winning chilli cheese!

Be a local and see the real Boa Vista - Absolutely loved it. An authentic immersion into the day to day of a local. It was a humbling enjoyable experience, plus a knowledgeable, fun guide. Booking was easy and straight forward with clear communication via Whatapp. I was picked up and we travelled to a local town where we explored a farm, helping milk the goats, feeding the animals, herding, ploughing the farm, and tasting fresh produce. We then went to a local home to try some traditional food, see I side the houses, meet the family and understand their culture. This was all at our own pace, no rush. Watching the cheese making was interesting and I then got to try the local liquor! Everyone was helpful in answering my many questions and sharing their homes with me. Thank you so, so much! I love CV xxx

Then we saw the vegetables being picked and shown the wells where the water comes from .the village. The man making the cheese and tasting it. It was goats cheese.which was very good. It was trip we will remember for years as it the real Africa we saw. The breakfast the ladies made us beans and meat and a fried egg and coffee made outside sat under trees and a man playing guitar.

Very unique and cultural experience. - This experience was amazing! It allowed us to really get an insight on how the locals live and go about their every day lives. Our guide was lovely and went above and beyond to make sure we were enjoying the experience. The highlight of the trip was milking the goats and getting to try some homemade cheese from an award winning cheese maker. Overall a very hands on and cultural experience where we got to see the real Cape Verde. Highly recommend.

Amazing day with the goats - This is an amazing experience to live a day like a farmer, we had the chance to play with the goats, and the baby goats! We also feed them and milk them, it was truly magical and fun! We also learn a lot in the garden where Léon explained us all the different plants he grows, very insightful! And we spend very nice moments with the family, eating and making cheese and discovering the village. I would definitely recommend this original activity!!

A Chilled Cultural Experience - I had a lovely time with Eric & his Grandpa who showed me around the local village and the farm that they have. I was shown where thy gathered watered from for their crops as well as being given the opportunity to feed some of the animals and milk and goat. I was offered mint tea as well as the opportunity to make fresh goats cheese using milk that had been collected that morning. All in all it was a very enjoyable experience and I would highly recommend to those who wish to understand what life is like for those outside of the city.
