Desert Delight with optional transport

4.3/5
877 reviews

For a truly celestial holiday experience, it's hard to beat this evening dinner in Boa Vista's Viana Desert. In the middle of nowhere, far away from light pollution, you'll get 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 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.

    Guides were very knowledgable and funny! They really made the experience unforgettable and we took away some fun facts away with us. The staff in the restaurant were very welcoming and friendly, food was lovely! Ambience and setting was unreal! Couldn’t fault it!
