Boa Vista beachside sunset dinner with live music experience
The west coast of Boa Vista usually provides stunning sunsets across the South Atlantic. Admire the colours of dusk with your special someone over a delicious dinner, followed by some live drumming and mellow tunes on the beach. Carlo, one of our expert local guides, says: ‘Cape Verde's music is one of the most important strands of our heritage and culture. There are a variety of styles unique to the islands, and you will hear a mix of some of our traditional music together with international tunes performed after dinner by local musicians.'You'll be whisked off to the island-renowned Morabeza Beach Club well before the sun begins its descent over the water. Take your seat and while away the time with a glass of the local cocktail, Ponche, in your hand and the sound of the waves in your ears. The beach club has a natural theme and a stress-free vibe, with tables directly on the beach. The beautiful tropical sunset would be all the visual entertainment needed, but there are plenty of treats to come.As the light dims, a bonfire is lit and African drummers start to provide a soundtrack of infectious beats giving you a flavour of the local culture. Then it's time to sit down and enjoy a delicious buffet dinner, with a selection of grilled meats, vegetables, and freshly-caught fish - plus a drink to wash it all down. A live band will play laid-back music during your meal, and up the tempo later on, so you can dance the night away with the sand between your toes.

Halvdags offroad-safari på sørlige Boa Vista med Vianaørkenen
Denne morsomme turen gir deg muligheten til å oppleve noen av Boa Vistas beste steder. I løpet av formiddagen utforsker vi landsbyer i innlandet og kjører rundt i Vianaørkenen i en terrengkjøretøy, før vi ender opp på en av øyas vakreste strender. Roberto, en av lokalguidene våre, sier: "Det var nok ikke meningen, men suvenirbutikkene i Povoação Velha og Rabil er blitt ufrivillige stjerner på sosiale medier. De fargerike, kitschete og bekymringsløse utstillingene deres er enorme Instagram-suksesser."Dette formiddagslange eventyret starter med et besøk i Rabil, Boa Vistas nest største by. Fra de livlige gatene til den tradisjonelle arkitekturen gjenspeiler byen øyas tøffe, men likevel spenstige ånd. Her kan du besøke en keramikkfabrikk, hvor du kan se håndverket til lokale håndverkere og kanskje få med deg en suvenir av lokal keramikk. Du får også smake på Kapp Verdes nasjonalrett, catchupa, en rikholdig gryterett med mais, bønner, svinekjøtt og grønnsaker – ingrediensene skifter ikke bare fra øy til øy eller landsby til landsby, men fra hus til hus.Hold deg godt fast mens vi suser gjennom det støvete landskapet i Viana-ørkenen. Neste stopp er Povoação Velha, den eldste bosetningen på øya. Her kan du rusle rundt i de rustikke gatene før du slapper av på den 11 km lange Santa Monica-stranden. Den sukkerhvite sanden står i kontrast til det fluoriserende blå vannet som på et postkort. Hvis du er eventyrlysten, kan du til og med prøve deg på sandboarding.

Noen i utkanten av byen har til og med blitt bygget på."Først ut er en tur til det nylig restaurerte Fatima-kapellet – en helligdom ved klippene like nord for Sal Rei. Herfra kan du nyte utsikten over Atlanterhavet og hovedstaden. Deretter utforsker vi øyas fortid i Skipsvrakmuseet.

Full-day 4x4 tour of Boa Vista’s northern villages with lunch
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.'We'll kick off in true Boa Vista style, travelling by 4x4 to Rabil, where we'll try some local delicacies and have a look around the village. Next, we'll make our way to the shipwreck at Cabo Santa Maria, where the rusting hulk of a Spanish cargo ship still sits where it ran aground over 50 years ago. It's a striking contrast to the natural beauty of the beach, and you'll get some great photos.A stop at the colourful village of Bofareira follows, where you'll call in at a goat farm to watch local cheese in production. You'll get to try some, too. Next, you'll head for Fundo das Figueiras village for a lunch made from locally sourced ingredients in a family-owned restaurant. In the afternoon, there's some free time before a visit to a soap-making project ran by the Association of Northern Woman – an organisation specialising in equality. We'll round off the day at the Local Biodiversity Centre for an insight into the fascinating marine life of the island.
