Boa Vista Island Half Day South Adventure

Cape Verde is home to the third largest population of loggerhead turtles, and during the months between June and October, they come to the shores of Boa Vista to lay their eggs. This night-time tour takes you to the nesting beaches with a marine biologist where you'll learn about and witness these creatures in their habitat.
Observing this night-time phenomenon is something visitors from all over the world come to witness. And the beaches of Boa Vista are the setting for loggerhead turtles to come to shore – the same beach where they themselves hatched years and years ago – in search of the perfect nesting site.

You'll join a marine biologist on a beach walk and set out tracking the turtles while learning all about the world's third largest nesting site. You won't be allowed to bring your camera – as the turtles can scare easily – so you'll need to keep your eyes peeled for activity in the sand as the turtles come to make their nests and make their way back to sea.

- You need to wait until your bag is unloaded

There's no shortage of great views in Boa Vista, and this 4x4 tour shows you just how photogenic the island is. You'll discover the shipwreck at Cabo Santa Maria, visit Fundo das Figueiras, stop to sample local food in Rabil and visit a goat farm and local Local Biodiversity centre, too. Stephane, one of our local guides, says, ‘The shipwreck is one of Boa Vista's most iconic sights. When the ship ran aground in 1968 the crew escaped unharmed. Strong tugs were sent from neighbouring islands to try to move the ship, but it was stuck fast. It took nearly a year to unload the cargo and take it by mule to Sal Rei.'
