Great way to explore Boa Vista - We had so much fun with the 2 guides and their humor. The sights were beautiful and Fredy explained everything really nicely. Sandboarding and a spontaneous swim stop was a lot of fun as well as visiting the oldest village of the island. thank you!

A highly recommended excursion - The trip was really nice. We've seen turtles. Unfortunately, there were no sharks. This is nature We were sandboarding in the desert and it was a lot of fun. Afterwards there was a delicious tasting of typical liqueurs and rum and snacks and the opportunity to buy souvenirs in the village. Thanks to our guide Fredy for the informative tour and to our driver for the safe ride across the country.

Tour of Boa Vista - Great views, very cool way to see the island. Sandboarding was a blast and seeing green turtles in there natural habitat was fantastic. Unfortunately unlucky to not see the sharks but gives us a reason to come back!
Take some extra money for when you visit the local village, custom is greatly appreciated and they have a lot of little shops. They are all very friendly and we felt safe and looked after the entire time.
Freddy had excellent English and answered any questions as well as giving us info and history. Christian got us there and back and took photos that are sent after.
Thanks again!

Super ! - Great excursion, there were many impressions, you learned about the islands, saw turtles, the sharks unfortunately not, but was also a small chance at the time. In the end there were still local schnapps to enjoy. And there was also a little shopping trip.

Sandboarding, shots & offroading fun, what more do you need? - Fredy was a superb guide, very knowledgable, a good/bad influence ;) and lots of fun was had sandboarding (please note this is sat down only - not stood up sandsurfing like the pics show), off road drifting, seeing the green turtles, lemon sharks and sampling some of the local delicacies in a local restaurant 😋 there was an unexpected 30min/ hour stop close to the restaurant to walk around the village and buy from the local shops - we didn’t take money for this and some of the locals whilst most welcoming and friendly, were very pushy as rely mostly on tourism…worth being prepared for this 👍
