A brilliant way to see Boa Vista. David took us to see each attraction and provided a summary of the history of each area. We visited Rabil and the pottery workshop, the pieces made there are lovely and affordable. Next was the desert, we enjoyed a bit of off-roaring there! Then on to a church, the shipwreck, another church and into Sal Rei. David also took us to Santa Monica beach whilst he dropped the other two group members off, as they were doing the full day tour, and he was kind enough to return us to our hotel whilst they had lunch. The most eye opening part was seeing the Shanty town in Sal Rei, definitely something that us privileged Brits should see! I’m glad we chose to go with David, rather than a hotel run excursion, as the information and tour felt more authentic.Wir hatten einen super schönen Tag, haben alles sehenswerte im Westen der Insel gezeigt bekommen und konnten die Länge der Stopps frei wählen. Ein super sympathischer Guide der zu jedem Stop etwas erzählt hat. Würden es immer wieder buchen. Top!

Prima geregeld. Opgehaald bij hotel en weer netjes thuis gebracht. In vier uur alles gezien wat eiland te bieden heeft denk ik. Woestijn, scheepswrak en bezoek aan Rabil en Sal Rei. Laatste is teleurstellend, lijkt louter bedoeld om souveniers te verkopen. Gids een hele toffe gast, de chauffeur een vakman op de ruige weggetjes.Sehr netter Tourguide. Wir wurden zu interessanten Orten auf der Insel gebracht. Es war ganz viel offroad. Das war mal was anderes
