If the thought of stargazing at Sal's night sky has you starry eyed, then this evening activity is just for you. Cape Verde is a great location for star spotting, and this evening adventure for all the family includes stargazing with telescopes. Enjoy a welcome drink, buffet dinner accompanied by live local music, and then find out which planets and galaxies you can see in the sky above.

The star-studded night sky is best viewed close to the equator, where both hemispheres are visible. You'll arrive to a beach restaurant just as darkness draws in, and after a welcome drink you'll sit down for a barbecue buffet. Tuck into a feast of local dishes to the sounds of live music, and with the help of telescopes, lasers and tablets, you'll see the moon, planets and more.

With knowledgeable guides at hand, you'll learn how to recognise constellations at home. The tour ends with a 10-minute stroll on the sands, where you'll spot patterns with the naked eye. A unique yet educational way to spend a night in Sal.

Had a lovely time with knowledgeable and personable guides despite the clouds! High tech telescopes are available to view the night sky. Dinner was a great buffet selection but not barbecued as mentioned in some reviews. A sweet toast at the end. Would go again for a different outlook at different time of year. Thanks ! Do note, some "off-roading" in a minibus to get to the venue may require antisickness medicines to be taken.

A really enjoyable and different experience. The food was decent and two drinks per person. The guide was excellent and was really knowledgeable about the stars and planets. We were able to see Jupiter, Neptune and a nebula through the telescope, as well as the moon. At the end of the evening, the guide took photos of the moon through the telescope on our phones which looked fantastic. We would definitely recommend this experience.
