With Actour Cabo Verde, discover these exceptional landscapes through day trips, island tours, and a variety of tourist activities, all led by passionate local guides. From the verdant mountains of Santo Antão to the golden beaches of Sal and Boa Vista, from the musical streets of Mindelo (São Vicente) to the historic villages of Santiago, each excursion reveals an authentic facet of the country. Between scenic hikes, cultural visits, diving and snorkeling in crystal-clear waters, or even mountain biking, buggy tours, scooter rides, or quad biking, the possibilities for adventure are endless. Our guided tours take you through spectacular valleys, colorful markets, sugarcane plantations, and impressive volcanic landscapes.
