Cape Verde · CYCLING TOURS
The shortlist you would send a friend flying out next month: 3 cycling tours worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before booking.
Ride powerful electric mountain bikes from Santa Maria with guides such as Mo, Fortz, Tony, or Jack. Expect beaches, dunes, salt mines, neighborhoods, nature areas, and a swim or beach-bar stop. The route suits mixed fitness levels, but group size can vary.
“Our guide was well knowledgable of the tour route, made the tour memorable for all . Well worth doing it”
Drive an automatic quad from Povoação Velha to Varandinha Caves, Santa Monica Beach, and Morro de Areia. You can ride alone or share with a friend. Hotel transfers, helmets, and a multilingual local guide are included. Expect sun, sea views, and plenty of dust.
“The trip was great. I highly recommend it to everyone”
Spend four hours riding mostly off-road from Mindelo to Salamansa, Baía das Gatas, Calhau, and Viana Volcano. Your guide handles the safety briefing, supplies a helmet, and leads a small group of up to 10. Bring a license, water, swimwear, and clothes you can get sandy.
“Hands down, the most amazing experience on the island !full throttle into adventure. The terrain was wild, views that hit like a movie scene – it’s the kind of ride that makes you feel alive. The guide very patient- kept it safe and fun ! If you’re even thinking about booking this quad tour – do it. It’s not just a ride, it’s a full-on adrenaline rush you’ll be talking about forever. It gets Messy!”
Pick an island, a boat or a dune.
