Island Drive
Easy Activity
Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.
Embark on a leisurely, three-hour excursion to take in the sights and sounds of your picturesque port city. Begin at your pier where you will step aboard a motorcoach and set out to see the highlights of Mindelo.
By bus you will pass trough volcanic landscape to our first stop, the top of the highest mountain of the island "Monte Verde" (750 m) with its plantations and spectacular views over the island and if the weather allows to the neighbour islands.
Along the coast we will reach the beach "Praia Grande" with the contrast of with sand and mountains of black lava. Here you will enjoy some moments to relax while your guide will serve you some, the national liqueur "Grogue" or "Pontche".
On the way back to the cruise we will pass the agricultural valley "Ribeira de Calhau" and you will get to know about agriculture on the island.
For tours that offer more in-depth exploration with actual visits to one or more sites, see the other options in this port.
