★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 349 reviews · 3 hours · from $69Our pick

Join Cape Verde Sailing for a calm three-hour catamaran cruise from Santa Maria or Bikini Beach. You’ll sail with a small group, enjoy snacks and drinks, and stop once for swimming or snorkeling. Crew members such as Daisy, Wesley, Marcio, Jair, and Anna are known for friendly service, with dolphins, turtles, and flying fish possible but never promised.

“Loved the relaxed atmosphere, snorkelling could be better, could have dropped us where Jesus was to see that as no fish. Apart from that, so relaxing and amazing. Thank you :)”

2.3h Turtle Watching Expedition

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 39 reviews · from $76

Join No-Limits Adventure for an evening turtle-watching trip from your Boa Vista hotel to Pesqueiro Grande beach. Your guide explains Caretta Caretta behavior and low-impact viewing rules before you walk across the sand in the dark. Josiel has received special praise for his clear directions and careful attention. Sightings are likely, but never guaranteed.

“After an initial pick up error the trip was amazing. Drivers and guide were brilliant and the walk over the sand in the dark was managed very well. Managed to see a turtle camouflage her nest then waited… one came out but changed her mind. The another back along the beach, and it was magical. Clear night, lots of stars…. And to top it all off a solo hatchling appeared so we helped it on its way.”
