Spend a day crossing Boa Vista’s contrasts: Sahara-like dunes, coastal caves at Varandinha, and the cultural pockets of Sal-Rei. This combi tour pairs easy walking with island-scale scenery and a beach lunch.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of an air-conditioned combi and the island opens: a wide stretch of white sand that moves under wind like a living thing, a string of low houses in Sal-Rei, and cliffs where waves cut caves into volcanic rock. The day unfolds as a practical loop — pottery and villages, the Viana sand sea, broad beaches and the raw coastline of Varandinha — each stop offering a different pulse of Boa Vista.

Hydrate before you go
Carry at least 1.5–2 liters of water per person — island sun and wind dehydrate faster than you expect.
Sun protection is a must
Wide-brim hat, high-SPF sunscreen and sunglasses will keep the wind-driven sand from turning a good day into a sunburn story.
Wear sand-friendly footwear
Closed-toe sandals or lightweight hiking shoes handle hot sand and rocky cliffs better than flip-flops.
Respect nesting areas
If you see fenced or signed turtle nesting zones, keep distance and follow guide instructions to avoid disturbing nests.
