With its blend of African, Brazilian and Portuguese influences, Boa Vista's capital, Sal Rei, is a riot of colour. On this exclusive tour, you'll sample Cape Verdean specialities, visit markets vibrant with local life and enjoy a guided tour of the town's most interesting locations. Artur, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Sal Rei is Portuguese for Salt King, which tells you all you need to know about what the town was once famous for. You'll see salt pans around the capital, though most are no longer in use. Some around the fringes of town have even been built on.'

First up is a trip to the recently restored Fatima chapel – a windswept sanctuary with a beautiful simplicity on a rocky bluff just north of Sal Rei. From here, you can take in the views over the coast towards the capital. Next, we'll explore the island's past in both the Sea and Shipwreck Museums. Admire a collection of exhibits from underwater archaeological finds and artworks that reflect on the history, art and culture of the Cape Verdean people.

We dial the volume up a bit next with a visit to the market. Mingle with locals as you browse the handmade jewellery, clothing and fresh produce on display. Take a walk along Praia de Diante beach before trying Cape Verdean cocktails and tasty specialities at Sodade House of Culture. Finally, there's free time to explore this appealing little town at your own pace – visit the pretty church of St Isabel or head to one of Sal Rei's great beaches for a paddle or a coffee with a view.

For kort tid på museer

I loved the complex the rooms were good staff were really helpful the food was excellent (great variety) the entertainment was a bit repetitive plus the ones who sang 1st were awful morbid. The team who danced and sang were the most hard working team I have ever watched well done. Mattress toppers would be a comfort for us oldies

Der Guide" Becki " hat uns sehr gut durch die Sehenswürdigkeiten begleitet, gut erklärt, allerdings im Museum war dir Erklärung in Englisch.

Der Ausflug war ganz gut. Schade war nur das der Vortrag im Museum in englischer Sprache stattfand.

To many people not enough time to enjoy the different experiences only managed to hear part of the history missed out on food tasting

It was lovely to see the sights but if we had been told the museum we visited was in someone's front room we may of been more prepared. More information about the fish museum would have useful. Sal Rei is a poor town but the locals need to understand people won't buy if they feel targeted. I would have looked round more if they hadn't chased after us.
