Family Adventure - 14nights

Sal Family Adventure island desciption
During the first week you and your children will explore the islands of Sao Vicente and Santo Antao staying in comfortable accommodation with lovely swimming pools. You'll see a Capoeira dance class, explore Sao Vicente's volcanic scenery by jeep and then over to Santo Antao on the ferry. This dramatic mountainous island offers a wealth of short walks to suit most ages or you have the flexibility to choose a driver guided tour if you wish. Then onto the white sand beaches of Boavista with your hotel on the beach and a jeep so you can explore the dunes and the dirt tracks on your own. From April to September, we have also included an evening trip to see the turtle conservation project and visit the hatcheries and maybe even see the adult turtles coming onshore to lay their eggs.
