Historical Sal

 

“We went on the ‘Historical Sal’ excursion. It was a really interesting and fun morning and completely different to the other excursions offered on Sal. Full credit to Explore Cape Verde for taking the time to come up with a unique excursion that celebrates Sal’s fascinating history, music and culture. I especially loved looking at the old photos of Sal and visiting the museum, which we wouldn’t have known about otherwise.” Gail1294, TripAdvisor.

Turtle Walk & Stargazing

 

“Unlike other tours we saw, Explore Cape Verde keeps groups small, so as not to stress the turtles, and tours are led by marine biologists with extensive knowledge of all things turtle. Our guide gave great talks, mapping things out in the sand for us. We saw 2 amazing turtles laying their eggs and the stargazing on the beach at night was incredible- like being in our own version of the Blue Planet!” Lou C, TripAdvisor.

Family Turtle Walk
