Adventure & Wildlife on Boa Vista Coral with Menzel Cabo Verde

Boa Vista, one of the eastern islands of Cabo Verde, offers a raw, untamed outdoor playground framed by turquoise waters and endless desert dunes. Menzel Cabo Verde’s Tour Boa Vista Coral delivers a full-day adventure that packs sand, sea, and wildlife into a single immersive itinerary. This experience is perfect for travelers eager to witness the island’s lesser-known coastal secrets alongside adrenaline-packed activities.

The journey begins at the Morro de Areia dunes, sculpted by wind, where the powdery slopes offer the thrill of sandboarding. Unlike typical beach activities, this natural sand hillcraft blends elements of surfing and snowboarding on sand, giving you an exciting rush in the heat of the sun. After mastering the dunes, the tour shifts into a wildlife safari mode at Baía das Tartarugas Verdes, a marine sanctuary where green turtles nest and glide beneath clear waters—a rare chance to see these majestic reptiles in their natural environment.

Not far from here lies Baía dos Tubarões, or Sharks’ Bay, named for its population of lemon sharks. These sharks are known for their docile nature, making sightings here a safe and memorable encounter with the ocean’s more elusive residents. The next highlight transports you beneath the cliffs to the dramatic caves of Praia de Varandinha. These sea caves are etched into volcanic rock by relentless waves, showcasing a striking geological formation unique to the island’s volcanic origin.

Finally, the trip culminates at Praia de Santa Mónica, a vast expanse of white sand and clear blue sea stretching nearly 18 km along Boa Vista’s southwestern shore. Here, the day winds down with a traditional grilled fish lunch at Boca Beach restaurant, where local flavors satisfy hungry adventurers. With options to fish, play volleyball, or simply relax on the shoreline, this tour captures the full spectrum of Boa Vista’s coastal allure.

Menzel Cabo Verde stands out as a gateway to authentic island experiences, blending cultural appreciation with active outdoor pursuits. This trip is more than sightseeing—it’s an invitation to connect with the island’s rugged landscapes, vibrant wildlife, and oceanic rhythms all in one action-packed day.
