Day Trip Details

At the indicated time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Praia and drive to Santiago Island's west coast. Short stops will be made to take pictures of the villages of São Domingos and Assomada.

Our bus will drop us at Ribeira da Barca, where we'll take a 30-minute fishing boat trip. We will then continue along Santiago's coastline towards Achada Leite. Here, we will stop briefly to admire the coastal rock formations, noted as one of the seven wonders of Cape Verde.

The next stop will be Aguas Belas Beach, where you have 1 hour of free time to swim in the Atlantic and snorkel in the sea caves. After swimming, enjoy a barbecue lunch at the beach, featuring grilled meat or fish, with a side of vegetables and rice.

After lunch, we'll return to Ribeira da Barca for a leisurely stroll to appreciate the village's scenery and the blend of the cliffs' greenish and ochre tones with the Atlantic's blue.

Finally, we will return to your hotel in Praia, with an estimated arrival time between 5 and 6 hours after pickup.
