Cape Verde wasn\u2019t one tiny little archipelago that\u2019s perched around 400 km off the coast of West Africa. I have such fond memories of visiting, especially with all the amazing things to do in Cape Verde. I mean, you\u2019re going to be spoilt for choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flights from cities like London usually\u00a0take around 5-6 hours (direct), with the islands of; Boa Vista, Sal,\u00a0Santo Ant\u00e3o,\u00a0Fogo and S\u00e3o Vicente (to name a few). Though there are actually around 10 islands that makeup Cape Verde and each have their own charm and feel.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that in mind, I wanted to share some of the best things to do in Cape Verde. It\u2019s an amazing island nation that\u2019s just beautiful to explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.) Go horseback riding at Santa Maria beach<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Best<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Santa Maria is the biggest and most popular beach in Sal, but you don\u2019t have to go there only for the water. It also has expansive salt flats just beyond the waterline where many horseriding tours start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That being said, most of the islands offer horseriding tours across the beaches, trails or even in the hills. So make sure to keep your eyes peeled for when you arrive. It really is one of the best things to do in Cape Verde (especially at sunset).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.) Jump on a dune buggy in\u00a0Boa Vista<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Best<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Boa Vista is one of the more popular islands that attract visitors to Cape Verde and is a desert island paradise that\u2019s perfect for off-road dune adventures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hop over to\u00a0Praia de Chaves and have the best time. Now, you\u2019ll probably find it easiest to book the dune buggy adventure at your hotel, so ask at the concierge once you arrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.) Wander the coast of Baia Das Gatas<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Best<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The coastline of Sao Vicente is so gorgeous to explore and a place that\u2019s totally stunning to see. In my opinion, it\u2019s the natural beauty that makes for so many amazing experiences and things to do in Cape Verde.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One thing to note is that the winds can be quite high in Cape Verde but the sun is also very strong. This means that you\u2019ll likely not realise how much your skin is burning under the sun. Take lots of layers, plenty of high-factor sun block and stay in the shade if possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.) See the turtles on Boa Vista<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Best<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Boa Vista is one of the world\u2019s most important breeding grounds for sea turtles and a place that\u2019s protected by locals and the country itself. Now, as with any wildlife, it\u2019s always important to keep a safe and respectful difference from the Loggerhead sea turtles (and never touch).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best way to see the turtles is with an organised tour that you can book for around 70 Euro at most hotels on the island. Also, make sure to book through\u00a0Voa Vista Tourism you\u2019re reservation will then be given to an authorised tour operator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5.) Explore Santa Maria (Sal)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Best<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Santa Maria is a relatively large town for the island of Sal and offers quite an array of things to do in Cape Verde. Once here, make sure to listen out for the live music, stop off in the craft shops and explore the tiny streets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6.) Hike Pico De Fogo<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Best<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re looking for something adventurous, head over to Fogo island where you can trek near the summit of Pico De Fogo (the highest point in all of Cape Verde).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, there\u2019s little need to worry about an imminent eruption. There\u2019s not been one for about 400 years and it\u2019s monitored for activity too. The hike itself has got a picturesque route to the top with a few villages and little surprises along the way. For this hike, you will need to be fit and comfortable with the elevation increases (which can make it tough in hot weather).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7.) Explore\u00a0Santo Ant\u00e3o Island<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Best<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Being the second largest island, you\u2019ll find that Santo Ant\u00e3o has a good mix of things to do in Cape Verde. It\u2019s one of those islands that\u2019s quite different from the likes of Boa Vista island and is much more lush and green.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Once here, make sure to visit X\u00f4xo, and take the scenic trails between Lin d\u00b4Corvo down towards Jo\u00e3o Afonso. Now, some of the trails can be tough and you need to be well prepared for some of the longer hikes but I guarantee it\u2019s worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Oh, and don\u2019t forget to see the views from\u00a0Delgadinho mountain ridge. If you\u2019re not familiar with the island, make sure to book yourself on a guided trek. These are the safest way to explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8.) Learn to surf at Kite Beach<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Best<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Kite Beach is the perfect place in on Sal Island to kick-start your skills in kitesurfing and regular surfing lessons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Places like\u00a0Surf Zone Cabo Verde<\/em>\u00a0offer beginner lessons and more intermediate lessons for those not used to surfing.\u00a0One thing to note, as with any potentially rough sea currents, always listen to local expert advice and don\u2019t enter the water if it\u2019s deemed too dangerous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9.) Swim in the Pedra Lume Crater<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Best<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Pedra Lume Crater (in Sal) is a huge volcanic crater that\u2019s now filled with salty sea water (for which the island of Sal is named). Now, these very warm pools actually have a higher mineral content than even the Dead Sea, so it\u2019s great for your skin, and you won\u2019t sink!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10.) chillout on Praia de Verandinha<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Best<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Praia de Verandinha is one of those beaches that\u2019ll make you feel like you\u2019re on Boa Vista island alone. It\u2019s totally unspoilt and a stunning area to visit on a chillout day on the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Best<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Take a dip in the sea, wander the dunes and explore the natural beauty of Cape Verde.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

It really is one of the best things to do in Cape Verde (especially at sunset). 2.) Jump on a dune buggy in\u00a0Boa Vista Boa Vista is one of the more popular islands that attract visitors to Cape Verde and is a desert island paradise that\u2019s perfect for off-road dune adventures. Hop over to\u00a0Praia de Chaves and have the best time. Now, you\u2019ll probably find it easiest to book the dune buggy adventure at your hotel, so ask at the concierge once you arrive. 3.) Wander the coast of Baia Das Gatas The coastline of Sao Vicente is so gorgeous to explore and a place that\u2019s totally stunning to see. In my opinion, it\u2019s the natural beauty that makes for so many amazing experiences and things to do in Cape Verde. One thing to note is that the winds can be quite high in Cape Verde but the sun is also very strong. This means that you\u2019ll likely not realise how much your skin is burning under the sun. Take lots of layers, plenty of high-factor sun block and stay in the shade if possible. 4.) See the turtles on Boa Vista Boa Vista is one of the world\u2019s most important breeding grounds for sea turtles and a place that\u2019s protected by locals and the country itself. Now, as with any wildlife, it\u2019s always important to keep a safe and respectful difference from the Loggerhead sea turtles (and never touch). The best way to see the turtles is with an organised tour that you can book for around 70 Euro at most hotels on the island. Also, make sure to book through\u00a0Voa Vista Tourism you\u2019re reservation will then be given to an authorised tour operator. 5.) Explore Santa Maria (Sal) Santa Maria is a relatively large town for the island of Sal and offers quite an array of things to do in Cape Verde. Once here, make sure to listen out for the live music, stop off in the craft shops and explore the tiny streets. 6.) Hike Pico De Fogo If you\u2019re looking for something adventurous, head over to Fogo island where you can trek near the summit of Pico De Fogo (the highest point in all of Cape Verde). Now, there\u2019s little need to worry about an imminent eruption. There\u2019s not been one for about 400 years and it\u2019s monitored for activity too. The hike itself has got a picturesque route to the top with a few villages and little surprises along the way. For this hike, you will need to be fit and comfortable with the elevation increases (which can make it tough in hot weather). 7.) Explore\u00a0Santo Ant\u00e3o Island Being the second largest island, you\u2019ll find that Santo Ant\u00e3o has a good mix of things to do in Cape Verde. It\u2019s one of those islands that\u2019s quite different from the likes of Boa Vista island and is much more lush and green. Once here, make sure to visit X\u00f4xo, and take the scenic trails between Lin d\u00b4Corvo down towards Jo\u00e3o Afonso. Now, some of the trails can be tough and you need to be well prepared for some of the longer hikes but I guarantee it\u2019s worth it. Oh, and don\u2019t forget to see the views from\u00a0Delgadinho mountain ridge. If you\u2019re not familiar with the island, make sure to book yourself on a guided trek. These are the safest way to explore. 8.) Learn to surf at Kite Beach Kite Beach is the perfect place in on Sal Island to kick-start your skills in kitesurfing and regular surfing lessons. Places like\u00a0Surf Zone Cabo Verde\u00a0offer beginner lessons and more intermediate lessons for those not used to surfing.\u00a0One thing to note, as with any potentially rough sea currents, always listen to local expert advice and don\u2019t enter the water if it\u2019s deemed too dangerous. 9.) Swim in the Pedra Lume Crater Pedra Lume Crater (in Sal) is a huge volcanic crater that\u2019s now filled with salty sea water (for which the island of Sal is named). Now, these very warm pools actually have a higher mineral content than even the Dead Sea, so it\u2019s great for your skin, and you won\u2019t sink! 10.) chillout on Praia de Verandinha Praia de Verandinha is one of those beaches that\u2019ll make you feel like you\u2019re on Boa Vista island alone. It\u2019s totally unspoilt and a stunning area to visit on a chillout day on the island. Take a dip in the sea, wander the dunes and explore the natural beauty of Cape Verde.","og_url":"https:\/\/ayushtoursjaipur.com\/index.php\/2020\/03\/13\/best-things-to-do-in-cape-verde\/","og_site_name":"Ayush Tours Jaipur","article_publisher":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Ayush-Tours-Jaipur-670592113397684\/","article_published_time":"2020-03-13T07:28:44+00:00","article_modified_time":"2021-02-02T05:46:01+00:00","og_image":[{"width":615,"height":409,"url":"https:\/\/ayushtoursjaipur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/cv.jpg","type":"image\/jpeg"}],"author":"admin","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_misc":{"Written by":"admin","Est. reading time":"5 minutes"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Article","@id":"https:\/\/ayushtoursjaipur.com\/index.php\/2020\/03\/13\/best-things-to-do-in-cape-verde\/#article","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/ayushtoursjaipur.com\/index.php\/2020\/03\/13\/best-things-to-do-in-cape-verde\/"},"author":{"name":"admin","@id":"https:\/\/ayushtoursjaipur.com\/#\/schema\/person\/a6ab0ac12d776e4d6e5c71601e85a5b4"},"headline":"Best Things To Do In Cape Verde","datePublished":"2020-03-13T07:28:44+00:00","dateModified":"2021-02-02T05:46:01+00:00","mainEntityOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/ayushtoursjaipur.com\/index.php\/2020\/03\/13\/best-things-to-do-in-cape-verde\/"},"wordCount":997,"publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/ayushtoursjaipur.com\/#organization"},"articleSection":["Blog"],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/ayushtoursjaipur.com\/index.php\/2020\/03\/13\/best-things-to-do-in-cape-verde\/","url":"https:\/\/ayushtoursjaipur.com\/index.php\/2020\/03\/13\/best-things-to-do-in-cape-verde\/","name":"Best Things To Do In Cape Verde -
