Fantastic - Wow, what an experience. Had a brilliant time from start to finish. Both of us in our 60’s but thoroughly enjoyed surfing the dunes. We were the only 2 on this trip which was a bonus. Learnt so much about the area. Saw turtles but not the sharks, as tide was too high. Finished off with a visit to a small village for snacks and some grogue. Definitely book with Go Tours and you won’t go wrong. Thanks again for a wonderful time.

Great experience with Freddy and Cristiano, 100% would recommend - We have just got back from an amazing tour with Freddy and Cristiano and had to write a review straight away. They picked us up from our BnB and straight away were friendly and welcoming. They told exactly what we were going to do and answered all our random questions! The sandboarding was amazing, Cristiano showed us how to do it, and made it look easy, and helped us as we went up and down the dunes. Despite not being the best at it they were great and by the end we had almost mastered it! Next was the green turtle spotting, whilst my wife watched the turtles Freddy helped me down to the rock pools and where the big waves came in. Both Freddy's and Cristiano's local knowledge was amazing, meaning we got so much done in the time we were there. All along the coast Cristiano showed off his expert sand/dune driving skills, which was an unexpected and awesome part of the experience. Next was the shark spotting. Unfortunately it was out of season, so we didn't see any, but it just meant we got to the cultural Village experience quicker, where we tried local food and drinks! Freddy was great and talked us through all the drinks and then through the colonial history of the area. His knowledge was really impressive and we learnt so much. We've not long got back to our BnB and would 100% recommend the trip for anyone, and would also advise people to ask for Freddy and Cristiano. Not only did they make the experience, but they've helped point us in the right direction for our next few days of horse riding and fishing trips with all their local contacts. Thanks so much guys, hope to see you again. J and T.
