In a nutshell

The rocky coast of the island of Santiago will slowly reveal itself from the perspective of the boat. Enjoy the seascapes during your crossing, and then add a good dose of relaxation on the wild beach of Praia de São Francisco to your experience: you've got plenty of free time to take a stroll or enjoy a dip in the warm Cape Verdean waters.

The programme

Along with your guide, take the bus to Praia de São Francisco, widely considered to be one of the most beautiful beaches on the island of Santiago.
Soon, you'll be able to enjoy it at your leisure. But now, climb aboard the boat that will take you on an exploration of the rocky coastline of this island with its mountainous, volcanic nature, kissed by the sun nearly all year round.
The cliffs are silhouetted against the sky, the mountains are dotted with green vegetation, and every now and then you'll spot a fishing village which seems frozen in time.
Now, you'll land on the shores of São Francisco: the beach is all yours, with its golden sands and clear waters, perfect for soothing your senses in the middle of the Atlantic ocean.

Good to know

There are no facilities or restaurants on the beach: bring a swimming costume, a backpack with beach towel, a hat, suncream, a bottle of water and something to eat with you.
