Two-hour quad tour in Boa Vista
Choose between single or double quads
Cabo Santa Maria beach
What to expect
With innumerable sandy dunes and a fairly desolate interior, Boa Vista is heaven for quad bikers. Spend two hours blasting along the island's deserted trails, with some memorable pit stops in between.Adrenaline-fuelled thrills should also be safe, so you'll first receive instruction on how to handle these powerful four-wheelers. Take the wheel yourself or choose a double quad and you can relax as the passenger. Then, you'll rev out of the base, headed for the renowned Cabo Santa Maria beach. Normally, the turquoise ocean and pristine sands would be the main attraction – but the show-stealer is the steel skeleton of a huge cargo ship that wrecked on the reef here in the 1960s.Open up the throttle as you make your way down the black volcanic tracks, heading back to base. If you think your appetite will only be getting going after two hours on the quad bike, a four-hour excursion is also on offer.

The overall experience was fantastic! We explored all the parts of northern Boa Vista that we wanted. The route took us on the main roads, off road and on the beach. You need to be a confident driver to keep up! There’s one ‘familiarisation’ trip around a track then you’re off, seeing the sites in a group of quads. We used the double bike which was even more value for money! Recommend++

We have been waiting at hotel reception for over 30 minutes as pickup was late. We were asked to choose a quad, get on it and basically go... there was a tiny 'test track' with 2 turns and then we just went out.. there was no safety briefing or training, noone shown us how to start the quad, how to break, what speed limits apply.. The offroad was rough and bumpy, we were skidding on the sand.. We had 10 minutes only at the shipwreck, there wasn't any photos taken and the experience was 1h20min..

Fun trip, simple to follow. Could have done with a drink when we got back. Scarf being provided was a good touch. Being a little clearer regarding instructions on arrival would have helped. Helmet guidance on fitting would have been helpful. Just left to choose your own.

The hotel in Cape Verde cannot be faulted. We booked the excursions using Tui Online in May. Holiday was in October. 1. The Sailing Experience was not available, the representative reimbursed us 2. The Turtle Watching experience was brough forward by 30 mins, a message was put on the tui app, but we missed it, and could not contact anyone, 15 mins later to get a taxi to continue with the excursion as it was the sole reason for coming to Cape Verde in October! It was such a shame that we missed.

Excursion itself was awesome and great day out tour guide was great and great to see so much of the island! Only negative is despite booking 2 months in advance Tui did not confirm our booking or others who had booked with the company, this lead to us standing in reception for 1hr than having to go find our rep to find tui messed up. We then rebooked for our last day. Rep service was poor.

Was a good amount of time for the money we paid. 2 hours was enough and I feel 4 hours would of been too much. The route was a little rough at times and it would of been nice to do more open road stretches to open up the quads a bit more but other than that the views were lovely, the shipwreck was a real highlight and it was nice being able to go through the local town. Would deffo recommend!

I booked this as a gift for my partners birthday. We had a really enjoyable time and it was a true thrill seekers dream! We unfortunately had an accident on the bike and it meant we had to end our tour early and be collected by car however the staff were exceptional, they ensured we were calm and as comfortable as possible after our accident. You just have to be mindful that there will always be safety risks with an activity like this! But overall, a lot of fun!!

Fantastic experience, I was a little anxious about the excursion as it was my partner that wanted to go. I have to say I throughly enjoyed every minute, the shipwreck on the beach was beautiful the off roading was brilliant, on the way back we actually got a glimpse of how some of the locals live , an excellent excursion, we are returning in September and are going to experience the 4hr excursion

The transfer was on time and there was no waiting about. We had a full 2 hours on the double quad and a bit of history too about the shipwreck from one of the guides. You have the option to purchase photos of your trip afterwards but there is no pressure. Advice would be, wear something that you don’t mind getting dusty. We got to see parts of the island that we otherwise wouldn’t have seen. We’ll worth it and value for money.

Only downside was it advertised a drink when we booked it but we got nothing and after all the dust it was the one time we needed one. Highly recommended
