What a spectacle is adventure - If you want fun, adrenaline and getting to know the southern part of Sal Island, then this SSV 1000cc tour is the best option. Very cool landscapes and an authentic scavenger hunt through the island's desert. I advise you to go and see if you don't regret it. The hospitality of the people of Cape Verde is 10 stars, just like the 10 islands.

Incredible Experience - We booked this Excursion through TUI at the hotel & it far surpassed expectations We were picked up promptly from the front of the hotel and it was about a 25/30 minute trip up to the main site It's an incredibly professional set up - you fill out the forms and all your driving licence details, then you get overalls, helmet and goggles included and a bandana was €3 each (I would recommend these it's very dusty) We also got a bottle of frozen water included which was such a nice touch & appreciated throughout the tour We went out with Djell & Fabricio who were fantastic guides, really knowledgeable about the spots we stopped in & great fun too The buggies are the safest I've been on, with full 3 point harness seatbelts and roll cages but I never worried about the safety once ! My partner and I would recommend this tour 100% it was so good and well worth the money!

Just awesome! - Just awesome! Another way to discover the island and the desert and to see routes that you wouldn't do by bus, while having fun! The team was great and thanks also to the guide and the photographer! We recommend with your eyes closed! 🙂

Amazing experience! - This was the highlight of our trip to Cape Verde, and our favourite experience in any country, ever. The scenery was beautiful as we drove through deserts, small remote villages and along the coast. The driving was definitely more difficult than we had expected, with sharp corners and steep inclines. On flats we hit speeds of over 75 km/h. You should be fine if you've had a full driving license for a couple of years, we've both had full UK licenses for 4 years and loved it. They provide you with a suit to go over your clothes, a helmet and goggles, but you need to bring your own face covering to protect the bottom of your face from the sand (you might be able to buy one there). All of the guides were incredibly friendly, even offering to take photos of us during driving breaks. Professsional photographs were taken during the experience, and you can buy these for €30 extra. We heard the guides speak to others in English, French, Spanish and German. There was the opportunity to change drivers at a "halfway point" but the first half seemed a lot longer than the second, with more exciting driving in the first half too. There is another stop near the end, with driving from this point mainly on flat desert and main roads, so an opportunity for more nervous drivers to have a go. Highly recommend. The best experience we've ever done.

Mega! - Brilliant excursion. The guys who run the tour make you feel welcome and at ease. They have a laugh with everyone and are just cool guys. The 1000cc buggy’s are well worth the extra money. The guys set a fast pace so you get a good thrill and get to put your foot down when you’re out in the Buggy’s. Would recommend this to anyone who visits Sal!

Desert adventure - TOP - I loved! I invite anyone who likes a bit of adrenaline to do this activity. It's 2 hours well spent in the island's desert, going up and down small mountains. The first stop is at a high point with an excellent view, if the sky is clear you can still see the island of Boavista. I recommend taking a car 1000 and doing activities in the late afternoon (you have the opportunity to see the sunset) Attentive and playful staff.
