What to expect

Immersing yourself in local culture is all part of the fun, and this full day tour features just that. You'll watch typical dances from Boa Vista in Cabeça dos Tarafes, learn about Morro Negro lighthouse and see how ‘Katchupa' is made at a family home. And along the way, you'll get to visit a local farm and stop to swim. This is one of our TUI Collection excursions, which give you a local flavour of the destination while showcasing its unique, authentic and responsible values.

You'll journey to the villages in the north of the island to begin your enriching Boa Vista experience. Start off at Cabeça dos Tarafes to watch traditional dances and music, then it's over to the lighthouse at Morro Negro to hear stories of its past and to take in the views.

Next stop will be the golden arch of beach at Porto Ferreira, where you can dive in for a swim. At Fundo Figueiras, you'll visit a family home to see how real ‘Katchupa' – the Cape Verde national dish - is made. Then, after a stop by a local farm, we'll round things off with lunch.

Desert Delight

For a truly celestial holiday experience, it's hard to beat this evening dinner in Boa Vista's Viana desert. On arrival at the Viana Club, you'll be handed a welcome drink before listening in to a briefing on what to expect of the evening. Dinner will then be ready - a buffet of traditional Cape Verdean dishes for you to feast on. And after eating, you'll head into the dunes of Viana desert for an exhilarating view of the heavens. Gaze into the stars and planets with your naked eyes and with the help of telescopes. The kids are also well looked after as there are some gravity-centred activities for them to take part in.

Whale Watching Cruise

Cape Verde is a hotspot for whale activity during March and April, being one of just two breeding sites in the north Atlantic. And this half-day cruise takes you into the waters around the island to spot these majestic creatures in their natural habitat – all with the help of an on-board marine biologist. Humpback whales come up for air for minutes at a time, before raising their enormous dorsal fins out of the water as they dive back down to the depths. If you're really lucky, you might see one launch themselves into the air, before crashing back onto the surface with an almighty splash.

Boa Vista Catamaran Cruise

Even when you're on an idyllic tropical island like Boa Vista, it's lovely to get out on the water. Get a different perspective from the deck of your sleek sailing catamaran on this relaxed adults-only afternoon cruise – served up with ice cold drinks. Relaxation is the name of the game on this afternoon in the sea breeze. It's a great opportunity to bury yourself in a good book, or just chill out on the netted deck, working on your tan. There's a stop in a secluded bay as your vessel drops anchor and, if the mood takes you, you can take a refreshing dip in the crystal-clear waters that surround the boat.
