Lush nature, beautiful terraces, colorful villages and kindness of the Cape Verdeans!!! No stress - A very nice day with Iann. He knows very well his island and the different sites. He was very accommodating with us and knew how to adapt to our wishes and even orient us on the activities to do the next day (hiking, waterfall, etc...) A tailor-made program!! Thanks. We recommend!!

Not regretting a second - The way to start your stay in Sao Antao. You immediately get a good idea of what is possible on the island. Excellent guide.

Tour of the most spectacular places in Santo Antão - We visited the island of Santo Antão with Riva, our guide, who was just great. You can see that he is passionate about his work and that he knows the island like his pocket. He answered all our questions and gave us lots of information about the history and culture of the island. The tour was great, we were able to observe much of the magical places on the island. Thanks again to Riva for this tour of the island. We strongly recommend this authentic and memorable experience!

Magnificent hike!! - Magnificent hike with a guide speaking excellent French, very friendly, passionate and exciting. The Paul Valley is a must-see. I asked to stop for lunch and the guide was very flexible and took me to a fantastic family restaurant. It was the best meal I had on Sao Antao. Unfortunately I don't remember the name anymore. I recommend this company and this excursion.

It was a completely pleasure to visit Sao Vicente and Santo Antao with BU. 100% RECOMMENDABLE.
