About This Experience

Welcome to your day on Santiago, the largest island in Cape Verde! This is Don, your German-speaking guide for four years. Together we travel for one day this volcanic island with its bizarre rock massifs : From Praia we go to the 800-year-old and 30-meter-thick giant tree Poilão. From there, we head down the imposing mountain range of the Serra da Malagueta Natural Park to Tarrafal. In this small tourist town we walk over the most beautiful beach in Cape Verde by far. Alternatively, you can also visit the concentration camp from the colonial period.
The conclusion is a Groggu - beer - and fruit juice tasting, which only we offer exclusively!
Our co-guide Edney can speak English, French and Portuguese. Cape Verde has the motto : No Stress! Get in... enjoy.... Take 1000 photos.... tell us more. This tour is ideal for cruisers, e.g. of MeinSchiff and AIDA.

Tour Itinerary

30 min

To get into positive vibes, we begin with a short city tour of Praia, the hot and bustling capital of the archipelago.

1 hour

Now we head to the centre of the island, where the 800-year-old, 30-metre-thick Poilão tree (a Ceiba pentandra) awaits us. Be careful not to touch it! It has developed thorns!

2 hours

Our third main stop is the relaxed tourist town of Tarrafal, where you will have the opportunity to stroll along the most beautiful sandy beach in the whole of Cape Verde. Pack your swimwear!

2 hours

The finale is our Groggu tasting, which only we offer! Groggu is the national drink of Cape Verde: a high-proof spirit made from sugar cane! It is also served as punch. In Assomada, you can also taste Igor's home-brewed beer and sip freshly mixed fruit juices. The tasting is, of course, included in the price.
