Only 2 people booked on this excursion so, instead of a banana boat we were on an inflatable raft pulled by a jetski. Absolutely brilliant fun but very short . Including transfer both ways to where the experience took place, we were back in our hotel within the hour. Had a max of 20 minutes on inflatable. Great fun but over too quickly.

Wir konnten kein Bananaboit fahren, da wir nur zu zweit waren das Bananaboot so nicht auf dem Wasser geblieben wäre. So haben wir auf einen Donut gewechelt. Es hat sehr viel Spaß gemacht und war ein tolles Erlebnis. Es war super.

I booked a banana boat but instead we got some inflatable thing for 2, solely relying on the strenght of your arms to avoid drifting in the sea. My 12y son loved the experience, not me. I could not cope for more than 2 min. They kindly provided a staff member to go with him. My rating therefore refle ts his experience.

Sal island catamaran cruise with All-Inclusive drinks and snacks
If holidays for you are all about kicking back and catching up on some chill-out time, then this catamaran cruise around Sal is just what you're looking for. There's nothing on the agenda except cruising, sunbathing, swimming and enjoying the sea breeze. Maria, one of our local guides, says, "this is a trip which prioritises relaxation. Getting out onto the water gives you a fresh perspective on the island – Monte Leão is a popular place for birds, so if you like wildlife-watching, bring your binoculars and see if you can spot one of the five species endemic to the Cape Verde archipelago." Your day of relaxation kicks off with pick-up from your hotel before boarding the brand-new catamaran. Your captain will cruise out from Palmeira, hugging the coastline. It's the perfect moment for you to choose your spot and sit back to soak up some rays. There's plenty of room to relax as well as drinks, snacks and local music to get you into that holiday mood as you enjoy the sensation of gliding through the open water in style. Once we've reached our idyllic spot near Monte Leão, your captain will drop anchor to freshen up with a swim in the open water. When we've stopped, you can also head out on to the nets, where you'll be able to float above the sparkling water and dry off in the sun. Maria adds, "Monte Leão sits at the northern end of the Murdeira Bay. The whole bay area is a marine nature reserve because of the important populations of sea turtles and seabirds."
