Luis, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘This experience really represents Sal in its entirety – history, cuisine, music and landscapes. It shows off our main highlights, informs about sustainability projects and finishes with the most splendid sunset in Cape Verde. And there's a tasty dinner with live music.'

Your off-road experience begins with a drive to Palha Verde. We'll visit Milot Horticulture, where you'll discover the art of hydroponic farming and see how crops are grown without soil for sustainable food production in the islands. Next, we'll head to Palmeira to explore its earthy streets and see the colourful fishing boats bobbing in the harbour. Then there's a quick stop at Terra Boa to see if we can catch a recurring mirage that occurs on its sands.

Once we've rumbled all the way to Pedra de Lume, you can indulge in a spa-like experience by floating on the salt lakes, known for their therapeutic properties. As the day comes to a close, we'll make our way to Ninho dos Piratas restaurant, where you'll be greeted with a welcome drink before enjoying a barbecue dinner accompanied by live music. Get ready to be entertained with a traditional dance show and experience the vibrant culture of Cape Verde.

Sal island catamaran cruise with All-Inclusive drinks and snacks

If holidays for you are all about kicking back and catching up on some chill-out time, then this catamaran cruise around Sal is just what you're looking for. There's nothing on the agenda except cruising, sunbathing, swimming and enjoying the sea breeze. Maria, one of our local guides, says, ‘This is a trip which prioritises relaxation. Getting out onto the water gives you a fresh perspective on the island – Monte Leão is a popular place for birds, so if you like wildlife-watching, bring your binoculars and see if you can spot one of the five species endemic to the Cape Verde archipelago.'Your day of relaxation kicks off with pick-up from your hotel before boarding the brand-new catamaran. Your captain will cruise out from Palmeira, hugging the coastline. It's the perfect moment for you to choose your spot and sit back to soak up some rays. There's plenty of room to relax as well as drinks, snacks and local music to get you into that holiday mood as you enjoy the sensation of gliding through the open water in style.Once we've reached our idyllic spot near Monte Leão, your captain will drop anchor to freshen up with a swim in the open water. When we've stopped, you can also head out on to the nets, where you'll be able to float above the sparkling water and dry off in the sun. Maria adds, ‘Monte Leão sits at the northern end of the Murdeira Bay. The whole bay area is a marine nature reserve because of the important populations of sea turtles and seabirds.'
