Tour Options
When booking, you'll have the choice of 4 different options. All 3 include hotel pickup and drop-off, an English-speaking guide, and rental of a double off-road buggy.
These are the following options:
Tour of Northern Boa Vista (2 Hours)
After picking you up, we'll make our way to the base where we'll find the buggies that will take us to the north of Boa Vista Island. We'll assign you a vehicle and give you a safety talk. Helmets and protective gear on? Let's go!
Our first stop will be at Ponta do Sol, a scenic spot that we'll reach by driving along Via Pitoresca, a path off the main road in the middle of an oasis. After this, we'll reach a remote coastal area of wild beauty: Cape Santa María. Here, we'll be able to see a Spanish shipwreck that sank over 50 years ago.
The final stop will be at the imposing dunes in the Viana Desert. Get your cameras ready, as the desert landscape will be postcard-pretty.
