Desert Delight

4.5/5
240 reviews

For a truly celestial holiday experience, it's hard to beat this evening dinner in Boa Vista's Viana desert. We'll pick you at your hotel and bring you to the middle of nowhere, far away from light pollution, for an unrivalled view of the Milky Way in its full glory. With the ever-changing moon phases, this is sure to be a unique experience at any time of the year.

On arrival at the Viana Club, you'll be handed a welcome drink before listening in to a briefing on what to expect of the evening. Dinner will then be ready - a buffet of traditional Cape Verdean dishes for you to feast on.

And after eating, there's another treat - you'll head outside for an exhilarating view of the heavens. Gaze into the stars and planets with your naked eyes and with the help of telescopes – it's simply amazing. The kids are also well looked after as there are some gravity-centred activities for them to take part in.

    It was a memorable outing and seeing Jupiter through a telescope, and the desert by moonlight, were experiences I will remember for a long time. I have given it 8/10 purely because I didn’t like the food in the restaurant that much - I’m not keen on grilled fish and don’t like chicken on the bone. So, that part of the experience wasn’t really for me. But the service was excellent and the guides were knowledgeable and entertaining to listen too. Overall, I couldn’t fault the service.

    Everything was excellent - picked up on time, taken to the desert area then shown numerous constellations with fantastic information by our guides along with planet viewing through large telescopes. Good and plentiful meal. Unable to fault this experience in any way

    The team was super friendly. It was visible that they are genuine people and they could not go over and beyond to make the night amazing.
