Full Day Island Tour, Highlights of São Vicente

4.9 · 117 Reviews

Excellent Quality

Overview

Experience São Vicente in a single unforgettable day, from cosmopolitan city streets of Mindelo to volcanic peaks, blue lagoons, and timeless village life. Start in Mindelo, Cabo Verde's most vibrant city, where colorful colonial architecture meets buzzing local markets (Fish Market, African Market, and Municipal Market). Rise above town to a scenic lookout for postcard views of Monte Cara and Laginha Beach, then climb to Monte Verde, the island's highest point and a protected natural park with sweeping panoramas. Continue along the dramatic north coast to swim in the crystal clear lagoon of Baía das Gatas and take in the wild shoreline of Norte Baía. In Calhau, a peaceful fishing and farming village, see one of the island's extinct volcanoes and watch traditional wells, windmills, and livestock still in daily use. No other tour covers this much of São Vicente in one day: city, sea, mountain, and countryside, all in a single journey.
