The natural beauty of Sao Vicente's dramatic land and seascapes reveal themselves during this leisurely, half-day, guided excursion that begins at your pier. Board a motorcoach and embark on a scenic drive that has you traversing the island's rugged landscape.
Have your cameras at the ready for breathtaking photo stops during your journey. Marvel at the lively Baia das Gatas (Catfish Bay), Mindelo's most popular beach featuring a crescent of pristine white sand and warm azure waters framed by a stunning backdrop of mountains.
Stop atop the majestic Monte Verde, the highest point on the island at 2,379 feet. As you take in the dramatic volcanic vistas that surround you, your guide will regale you with fascinating information about the area and its agriculture.
Visit the lovely traditional fishing village of Salamansa, located on the east coast of Sao Vicente.
Take in the sea breeze as you stroll along the white sands of nearby Praia Grande (meaning "large beach" in Portuguese). This magnificent crescent-shaped strand of beach runs over 1.2 miles in length and is surrounded by grasslands and sparkling (but treacherous) waters.
Enjoy a drive through Mindelo that takes you past some of your picturesque port town's highlights. Jutting from the harbor, view the Belem Tower, a replica of a 15th century fortress that guard's Lisbon's port. Savor the sights of Mindelo's colorful and bustling fresh fish, African and vegetable markets - alive with the sounds of Criulo, the island's patois prior to your return drive to you pier.
