An Unforgettable Tour in Northern Boa Vista! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - An absolutely fantastic excursion discovering the northern part of the island! This tour is a dynamic and extraordinary adventure that lets you admire stunning, wild landscapes. The off-road drive was wonderful, taking us first to see the striking shipwreck of the Cabo Santa Maria. Later on, the itinerary moved inland, where we did an incredible trek on foot through the canyon—a truly spectacular passage through the rocks that feels completely off the beaten path. The real final highlight of the day was a refreshing swim at the beautiful hidden beach located just a short walk from the picturesque Chapel of Fatima. A corner of absolute peace with crystal-clear water! Special praise goes to our guides, who were exceptionally polite, kind, and helpful. They accompanied us throughout the entire journey with great friendliness, providing highly interesting historical and natural insights at every single stop of the tour. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Boa Vista looking for the perfect mix of adventure, culture, and relaxation!

Amazing Memories - We had a private tour with Gil, we drove through the desert where we saw wild donkeys and Gil stopped to tell us a bit of history on the way. We went to the shipwreck took pics and bought some souvenirs from a lovely man on the beach. We then drove up to the Grand Canyon. Gil was lovely chatting and giving info along the way. The canyon is definitely for fit and able people. Hubby was gonna wear crocs but Gil made sure he went and changed into gripped trainers for safety. You start at the top of the mountain and ramble all the way down to the beach. It’s very steep in places, slippy and you have to climb down some sections. It was so much fun and something we’ll remember forever. Gil took photos for us all the way down at picture perfect spots. We then visited the Chapel of Our Lady of Fatima which hubby loved being catholic himself. Gil then took us to a gorgeous little secluded beach where we snorkelled for a while with the cove to ourselves. Afterwards we went for a refreshing drink courtesy of Gil at a little cafe on the harbour, very picturesque. The whole excursion was enjoyable and relaxed, no rushing. Gil was informative, helpful and very friendly. Will definitely do another excursion with him again. Magical memories made. It’s worth waiting until you get here to book excursions with the locals. I would 100% recommend going with Gil instead of TUI as it’s much cheaper and a more personal experience. You’re paying locals rather than a big company. You can’t do the canyon with TUI as it’s only known by locals. Gil was a fantastic tour guide. Thanks so much Gil. Julz + Joe
