A heat-stepped wind pulls at the buggy's frame as it slides onto Praia de Chaves, sand spraying like salt confetti behind the tires. Riders feel the island breathe—ocean to one side, raw dunes to the other—while a guide points out a tall pottery chimney standing shoulder-deep in sand, a human echo of Boa Vista's past industry.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.

A heat-stepped wind pulls at the buggy's frame as it slides onto Praia de Chaves, sand spraying like salt confetti behind the tires. Riders feel the island breathe—ocean to one side, raw dunes to the other—while a guide points out a tall pottery chimney standing shoulder-deep in sand, a human echo of Boa Vista's past industry.
The route threads coastal plains carved from volcanic rock and wind-driven sand. Geologically young, Boa Vista's southern shore shows layers of basalt and ash smoothed by centuries of trade winds; cliffs and natural arches at Praia de Verandinha are scoured into sculptural forms. Culturally, the tour passes sites tied to Cape Verdean fishing and artisanal ceramics, plus the Ruins of Curral Velho, where abandoned structures mark shifting settlement patterns as coastal processes reclaimed the land.
Expect long beach runs, soft dunes that test traction, and broad views where the Atlantic dares you to look farther. Wildlife is subtle: shorebirds patrol tidal edges and, seasonally, loggerhead turtles come ashore to nest in the dark hours.
Practical guidance: plan for four hours with vehicle pick-up and drop-off; bring closed-toe shoes and sun protection; secure loose items in the buggy and follow the guide's route to avoid protected nesting areas. Hydrate before the final stretch—salt wind dries the throat fast—and budget time at Santa Monica Beach for photos and a short walk. Operators supply helmets, glasses, fuel, and bottled water; confirm seat and license requirements when booking.
