Launch from a 100‑metre cliff and fly more than 1 km over the Atlantic at Serra Negra, Sal. This two‑hour excursion pairs a scenic 4×4 approach with safety‑first harnessing, live local music, and a celebratory drink at height.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You walk up a scruffy volcanic ridge, wind pushing at your jacket and the Atlantic opening like a steel-blue promise below. The cables hum ahead—two parallel lines that will carry you more than 1 kilometre from a 100‑metre cliff edge and out over open water. A local band sets the rhythm; technicians click carabiners and check harnesses. Then you step off, and the island leans away.
