Local activities

Enjoy easy access to a host of local activities, showcasing the unique charm of Boa Vista.

Discover the island’s rich cultural heritage by visiting local markets, where you can browse handmade crafts, fresh produce, and traditional Cape Verdean goods.

Take a guided tour of the island’s historical sites, such as the historic Cabo Santa Maria shipwreck, or visit a local pottery workshop in the village of Rabil, where artisans continue to create beautiful hand-crafted pottery using techniques passed down through generations.

For a more adventurous experience, embark on a jeep safari or quad biking excursion through Boa Vista’s desert landscapes, with their dramatic sand dunes and scenic coastal views. Whether exploring nature, discovering the local culture, or unwinding by the sea, Boa Vista is home to endless possibilities.

You can also discover the other islands in the archipelago, each with its own distinctive landscape and culture. Santo Antão’s lush, mountainous terrain is a paradise for hikers, while São Vicente thrives with a vibrant musical heritage, and Fogo’s dramatic volcanic landscape invites travellers to explore black-sand beaches and to climb the Pico do Fogo, the only active volcano on the islands.
