Top 20 Experiences in Boa Vista
Whale watching tour in Boavista
Experience the majestic beauty of Boavista's humpback whales and other marine life in their natural habitat. On this whale watching tour, you can see humpback whales up close off the coast of Boa Vista! The moment when whales unexpectedly emerge from the depths of the ocean remains an unforgettable experience! The well-being of the animal and the respectful treatment of our marine life is our top priority! Humpback whales migrate from their summer feeding grounds, mostly in Arctic waters, to island groups, mostly in tropical waters, to mate and give birth to their young. The Cape Verde Islands are one of the most important breeding areas for humpback whales in the North Atlantic. March to May is the peak of the mating games and during this time the whales are spotted on the west and southwest coasts of Boa Vista.

Snorkeling in Gatas Bay
Observation of the underwater world and corals, immerse yourself in another world. The “Gatas Bay” is located on the north-east bank of Boa Vista. "Gatas" refers to the local name of the nurse shark. But it is completely harmless and very shy. Snorkeling tours are only possible at high tide, as the bay becomes very shallow at low tide and the coral heads almost protrude from the sea surface. Equipment such as shoes, life jacket, mask and snorkel are available. We don't use fins to avoid damaging the fragile corals. But they are not needed either, there is no current and the depth is only about 1.5 meters. The trip to Gatas (four-wheel drive pick-up vehicle) takes about 50 minutes from Sal Rei. We usually spend 45-60 minutes in the water. On the way back we stop in a small one Bar in the village of Joao Galego for a drink and a snack.
