What to expect

Inject your holiday with a healthy dose of adrenaline-pumping adventure with this dirt buggy tour. Driving your own off-road vehicle, you'll zoom down dusty tracks, trails and up and over rolling sand dunes to discover all the best bits of Boa Vista.

Hop in your powerful off-road buggy and after a quick safety briefing, you'll be ready to ride. Set off down Cape Verde's rugged trails and you'll zig-zag your way from the Chaves chimney – the towering smoke stack of an old ceramics factory – and rumble alongside epic views of the Atlantic Ocean.

Revving along the coast, you'll take a quick break from the action at the Fatima Church before hopping back in the buggies, ready to ramp things up a notch. Speeding along, you'll power over rolling sand dunes to find the perfect spot for a photo over Sal Rei Bay. Finally, you'll kick up a few more clouds of dust as you head back to base.

No instructions on how to follow lead driver, only told how to stop & start buggy. Lots of time wasted by continuoulsy driving round on sand in circles just so photographer could take pictures. Stopped a couple of times for just a few minutes to look at scenery, but again nothing explained to us as to where we were, or even looking at.

Really good experience, a great way to explore the island. Would have liked to have had a couple more stops for photos or for the guide to explain a bit about certain places. Is very very dusty on some of the tracks, a full face helmet or snood would be preferable.

The buggy driving was fun. Until the buggy broke down. Everything else left a lot to be desired. There was no safety briefing, no instruction other than than drive selection. The staff I found rude. Our buggy broke down. The staff reacted in a way that made me feel like it was my fault. I then spent the next 30 minutes driving their support buggy which was not as much fun, less powerful and kept stalling. Eventually I was back in the original buggy. I would not recommend. Staff were not friendly

Loved it, exhilarating. Fun to drive in the road then over the sand dunes taking in the sights. Great that we got a snood given to us to keep the dust out & that we both got a turn to drive, made it value for money. They had a photographer come with us to take pictures and buy a photo package at the end. Your clothes do get really sandy & worth wearing sunglasses to stop the sand whipping up into your eyes.
