Compare the exact start point, duration, included food and hotel pickup before booking. Distances look short on the map, but sand and rough tracks make travel slower than kilometres suggest.

Frequently asked questions

What is Boa Vista best known for?

Long sandy beaches, the Viana dunes, the Cabo Santa Maria shipwreck and seasonal wildlife. The largest bookable group is island and 4x4 tours; boat, snorkelling, turtle and whale trips are also available.

Can I explore the whole island in a normal rental car?

Not comfortably. Several sought-after beaches and desert stops are reached on sand or rough tracks. A guided 4x4 tour is the normal choice, and rental agreements may exclude off-road driving.

When can I see whales and turtles?

Whale trips are seasonal, mainly from late winter into spring; turtle nesting tours run on summer nights. They are wild animals, so sightings cannot be guaranteed and exact operating dates change.

Does Boa Vista have a large city or mountain landscape?

No. Sal Rei is a small island capital, not a major city, and Boa Vista is comparatively low and arid. Monte Estância reaches about 387 metres; the island is known more for dunes and beaches than high mountains.

Where do boat trips leave from?

Most marine trips use Sal Rei and its bay. Always check the meeting point: resorts around Praia de Chaves or the south coast are not the same place as Sal Rei, and transfers may be part of the tour.
