Highlights
- Deserto de Viana - The fun kicks off in the Viana desert. Feel the wind in your hair as you rumble over the sand dunes in a 4x4. Then, you’re off to discover the rusting shipwreck of Cabo de Santa Maria
- a symbol of Boa Vista. Roberto says,
- There are about 150 shipwrecks on the islands of Cape Verde, but this one is the most mysterious of all. It’s a great place to snap a selfie, too.’ You’ll have a quick stop in Sal Rei for a glimpse at the capital’s fishing pier before a locally sourced lunch is served at a nearby beach restaurant.
- Pavoacao Velha - Next up is a pit stop in Povoaçao Velha
- the oldest settlement on the island. Have a poke around this isolated hamlet and enjoy a look into local life, before our final stop, Santa Monica Beach.
- Santa Monica Beach - Boasting 15km of white sand and undulating dunes, it’s no wonder it was voted one of the world’s top 10 beaches. The perfect place to end the tour.

Additional Information
Off-road through luscious landscapes and be charmed by Boa Vista’s untouched beauty on this action-packed 4x4 tour. Roberto, one of our local guides, says,
The Viana desert is Boa Vista’s very own chunk of the Sahara. Its sand is blown in from western Africa, creating huge dunes, which we’ll rally up and down.
Leave no stone unturned as you visit the shipwreck on Santa Maria beach, before stopping in Sal Rei village and Povoaçao Velha. Plus, there’s lunch by the sea in a beachfront restaurant.

Nice trip - We were picked up at our hotel.
Then we drove on asphalt roads and through the desert to the sandboarding spot, which was fun.
Then we drove back through the desert to the shipwreck where we took some photos nearby.
Then on the way to Bahia, a beach restaurant where we were served a delicious lunch.
We then visited an old church and finally went for a paddle on Santa Monica Beach.
Nice trip in good jeeps with a very competent guide.
