Join the Combi Relax Tour and set off to the striking Morre dareia dune landscape, where you’ll be enchanted again and again by the panoramic view over the bay Chaves.

Summary: What an absolutely brilliant way to end our holiday in Cape Verde! I only wish we had done this excursion at the start of our trip. Our guide, Fabian, was incredibly knowledgeable about the island’s history, and the day was just one amazing stop after another. We ended our tour in the wonderfully diverse and extremely welcoming city of Sal Rei, where we spent the afternoon eating, drinking, and shopping. A perfect final day!

Summary: Fantastic tour, so glad we did it. Wonderful day out seeing some remote treasures on the island. Opportunity to swim and sandboard which we loved. Stunning beaches & dunes. Well worth it. Fabian our tour guide was an interesting guy with great knowledge of the island and calm friendly energy. We enjoyed his tour & spending the day with him and our fantastic driver as well. Great energy & unforgettable memories. Delicious lunch as well !! Much better than taking a tour with large amounts of people with one of the main holiday companies - we felt we made a great decision choosing this local company. Thank you!!

Summary: The day was really well organised and well thought out. Our driver did a fantastic job at navigating off roads, making sure it was a smooth drive and checking we were ok. He was attentive, slowing when he could see pictures were being taken, stopping when my hat blew away, checking if we wanted to sit in or outside the truck. We felt well looked after. The guide was knowledgeable and answered questions during the day. The lunch was delicious and very generous portions. We had a great day and would absolutely recommend. We did so much, a great way to see the island and spend the day.
