The trip was great. We met new people and learned something about the island in how the hotels are stocked with food, island life and also a bit on the other islands of Cape Verde. When it came to time of the beach barbecue, I felt that it was a long time to spend there. Most likely from the length of the day. Overall, a great experience.
Excitement meets adventure on this 4x4 jeep tour of Sal. You'll discover the island's wonders on a scenic drive taking in Palha Verde, Palmeira village and Pedra de Lume salt flats before finishing off with dinner at a beach-side restaurant. Luis, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘This experience really represents Sal in its entirety – history, cuisine, music and landscapes. It shows off our main highlights, informs about sustainability projects and finishes with the most splendid sunset in Cape Verde. And there's a tasty dinner with live music.'
Your off-road experience begins with a drive to Palha Verde. We'll visit Milot Horticulture, where you'll discover the art of hydroponic farming and see how crops are grown without soil for sustainable food production in the islands. Next, we'll head to Palmeira to explore its earthy streets and see the colourful fishing boats bobbing in the harbour. Then there's a quick stop at Terra Boa to see if we can catch a recurring mirage that occurs on its sands.
Once we've rumbled all the way to Pedra de Lume, you can indulge in a spa-like experience by floating on the salt lakes, known for their therapeutic properties. As the day comes to a close, we'll make our way to Ninho dos Piratas restaurant, where you'll be greeted with a welcome drink before enjoying a barbecue dinner accompanied by live music. Get ready to be entertained with a traditional dance show and experience the vibrant culture of Cape Verde.
