Inject your holiday with a healthy dose of adrenaline-pumping adventure with this dirt buggy tour. Driving your own off-road vehicle, you'll zoom down dusty tracks, trails and up and over rolling sand dunes to discover all the best bits of Boa Vista.

Hop in your powerful off-road buggy and after a quick safety briefing, you'll be ready to ride. Set off down Cape Verde's rugged trails and you'll zig-zag your way from the Chaves chimney – the towering smoke stack of an old ceramics factory – and rumble alongside epic views of the Atlantic Ocean.

Revving along the coast, you'll take a quick break from the action at the Fatima Church before hopping back in the buggies, ready to ramp things up a notch. Speeding along, you'll power over rolling sand dunes to find the perfect spot for a photo over Sal Rei Bay. Finally, you'll kick up a few more clouds of dust as you head back to base.

Begeleiding was alleen maar aan het bellen tijdens het rijden voor de groep. Helm los op zijn hoofd. Eerste stop was een paar duinen waar ineens lokale bevolking wederom met winkeltjes uit het niets verschenen. Routes waren ook echt niet bijzonder, zeker voor dit geldbedrag een aanfluiting. Quad tour daarintegen was wel een aanrader en erg leuk en mooi..

Activité au top belle découverte de l île avec le côté ludique du buggy

From start to finish it was thoroughly enjoyable....even in the rain!!!!

No instructions on how to follow lead driver, only told how to stop & start buggy. Lots of time wasted by continuoulsy driving round on sand in circles just so photographer could take pictures. Stopped a couple of times for just a few minutes to look at scenery, but again nothing explained to us as to where we were, or even looking at.

Really good experience, a great way to explore the island. Would have liked to have had a couple more stops for photos or for the guide to explain a bit about certain places. Is very very dusty on some of the tracks, a full face helmet or snood would be preferable.
