You'll feel like you know every corner of little Boa Vista island after this adults-only off-road adventure. With a knowledgeable guide to show you around, you'll find out about the history and culture of the area, too. Leave no stone unturned as you visit Viana desert and the shipwreck at Cabo de Santa Maria, before exploring Povoacao Velha. Plus, there's lunch at a beachside restaurant to enjoy. Manuel, one of our expert local guides, says ‘The beach with the shipwreck is a very evocative spot, one of the most beautiful on the island. The ship ran aground in 1968 and has been here ever since.'

Setting off towards the Viana desert, prepare to be charmed by Boa Vista's untouched scenery on this action-packed 4x4 tour. Feel the wind in your hair as you rumble over the sand dunes in a 4x4. Then, you're off to discover the rusting shipwreck of Cabo de Santa Maria – a symbol of Boa Vista. Chamine de Chaves is our next stop, before we slow things down with lunch in a beachside restaurant.

Next up is Povaocao Velha – the oldest settlement on the island. Have a poke around the small town and take a glimpse into local life, before we head to our final stop, Santa Monica beach. If it's dreamy Caribbean colours and empty sands you are looking for, you've found it. Have your camera ready because this blissful beach is one of the most photographed spots on the island. Boasting 18 kilometres of white sand and undulating dunes, it's no wonder that the sandy strip was voted one of the top ten in the world.

Amazing informative guide in Paulo. Really interesting to see more of the island

The whole experience was 10/10. The tour guide was very knowledgeable friendly and covered all aspects of the island and how TUI work with the locals and local businesses which gave me a better understanding of Cape Verde and its culture. The lunch provided was a taste of Cape Verdean food, delicious and the restaurant and setting was amazing. Would recommend this excursion as a must.

The whole day was enjoyable. Paulo a very good guide and a credit to TUI however, a bit opinionated regarding his thoughts on the islands politics.

Brilliant day out thanks with plenty to do and see across the island thank you. Really enjoyed the whole day and especially the sand boarding and could have had more time on the beach at the end of the day

the guide was excellent the driver was good the food was not great but rest of the trip all in all it was a fun packed day

Our guide Paolo was amazing - informative and funny. He even resembles Denzel Washington ?? We enjoyed every part of the tour, but especially the beautiful Santa Monica beach - simply stunning. Enjoyed an hour swimming in the ocean too. If I had to criticise anything, it would only be the chicken meal at the beach hut. The chicken itself was so overcooked that it had shrivelled up and was too crispy. As such, there wasn't a lot of actual chicken meat left to enjoy. The rest of the plate was good
