Detailed itinerary

Let's go on a breathtaking ride in the dunes of Morro de Areia.
Let your gaze wander over the endless shifting dunes and enjoy the ride to one of the highest points in the dunes!
The fascinating dune landscape offers the opportunity for beautiful photos.

Try sandboarding or sledding on the sand. We have tried and tested material from the USA and everyone gets their money's worth here! Just dare and race down the dune! No matter whether you are big or small... we have fun in the sand!

We stop at the “Turtlebay” and see loggerhead turtles from above. We observe you in peace and tell you interesting things about the lovely sea creatures.

On Varandinha Beach, adventurous caves and rock formations are waiting to be discovered.
We often see the beautiful "red-billed tropical bird" that nests in the steep face and tirelessly feeds its little ones.

A highlight of the tour is certainly the drive along Santa Monica Beach. Admire this wonderfully endless beach, certainly the most beautiful beach in Cape Verde and one of the most beautiful beaches in the world.
Depending on your mood and wave, you can take a refreshing swim in the Atlantic.
