Highlights
-
São Pedro - Every of our customers are impressed with this experience never seen before in Cape Verde, not long ago young sea turtles started to appear in the bay of São Pedro, a small fishing village located 15 minutes from the center of Mindelo, this is now attracting hundreds of nationals and visitors to have a look and to swim with the turtles and learn about the behavior of one of the sweetest creatures on the planet.
After picking you up from your hotel or Porto Grande pier in Mindelo, we’ll drive to Sao Pedro beach and there your highly qualified tour guide will be waiting for you, ready with a greeting and a short safety briefing.
then you will enter the fishing boat slowly and drive away from the beach where the turtles are, after throwing food into the water the turtles start to approach the boat, wauuu!! what a magical moment worth the whole journey.
you will go down in the water and swim with the turtles.
Due to security measures, touching the turtles is not allowed.
some security measures are taken for the protection of the turtles and also for your safety.
At the end of the experience we will take you back to your hotel safely.

Excellent experience - It was an excellent experience, I was afraid not to find the turtles on the bay, but was amazed when I get there, plenty of turtles followed us when we got on the water, amazing... worth of money.

A great experience - This was really wonderful. Such amazing creatures and we loved being so close to them. We didn't really swim, we stayed in the same spot and they swam around us. I would recommend this activity.

Try this experience - It was a very awesome experience, it was like the village fishermen have these turtles trained. The turtles came when they heard the fishing boats motor which signaled to them it was feeding time. As many as 6 turtles gathered around the boat ready to eat and that’s what the guides do, they threw in food.
