we loved riding on the sand dunes and along the main road! should be advised sunglasses a necessity, also guide not particular patient. Never driven a quad before so maybe put into experience groups as some people wanted to race off. also when being shown how to use the bike it's very rushed with a language barrier! saying all of the above we would recommend it and definitely do it again! the above are just pointers that we would of found useful

absolutely brilliant day out! I think the guides need to assess the group before heading out though and put the slower riders at the back so the more confident riders can keep up with the guide at the front as there were times we had to go extremely slow to not reach the person infront. apart from that I would highly recommend this day out!

Highlights

  • Visit the local handicraft workshop and meet local artisans
  • Explore the historic village of Povoação Velha
  • Visit the caves of Varandinha

Full description

Depart to Rabil village where the team will provide instructions for the tour and ATV vehicle. Then, pass by Povoação Velha and discover some still intact houses built with handmade clay bricks and thatched roofs, which testify to the beginning of the history of Boa Vista, having been the first village to be populated. Continue to Santa Monica beach, considered the most beautiful beach of the archipelago and one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Swim in the crystal clear waters and relax on the white sand. After that, travel along the coast to admire the entire southeastern side of the island with long and beautiful beaches that end in breathtaking dunes. Discover the wonders and secrets carved behind the Varandinha limestone caves, formed naturally by the erosion of the sea in the dunes. Finally, head towards Morro de Areia Nature Reserve before being dropped off at your hotel.
