What a great tour we had! From the island of Djeu you look out over Sal Rei, a beautiful view! Then we saw the beautiful beach of Santa Monica! The waves lapped the beach. The shark and turtle bays are already very beautiful! Unfortunately we couldn't see any sharks, but that was made up for by seeing the many turtles! As a conclusion we were allowed to go sandboarding in the dunes of Morro de Areia. What a great ending to this beautiful tour! I can recommend this tour led by Joshua and Veronique to everyone!

You will have a private tour with this booking. This makes you very flexible in routing and length of stops, which is a luxury you will nog get with the large companies. From the guide you will also get a deeper understanding of the local culture and reality compared to what is viewed on the all-inclusive resorts. Experience the real Boa Vista here. We booked a second tour the following day.

It was a very successful excursion, especially due to the input of the Dutch speaking tour guides Veronique and Karin. We were told the real stories about the island, and had ample time to see and experience everything, unfortunately we did not see the sharks, but we did see the turtles. This excursion is highly recommended for us! Ellen and Lex, December 2024.

Great trip with a friendly guide. We loved seeing the turtles in their natural habitat and whilst the lemon sharks had decided to stay away today we still had an amazing day, topped of with the tasting of the local spirits, some of which are quite strong! We would definitely do this trip or others provided by Gil again.

Gil is a very friendly and attentive guide! We had a great day and visited different points of Boa Vista. We recommend it!
