The 6 Best BBQ Cruises in Cape Verde

1.From Praia: Boat Trip, Snorkeling, Cave & BBQ on the Beach

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 45 reviews · 7 hours · from $129Our pick

Explore Santiago’s volcanic coast by fishing boat, swim in Águas Belas cave, snorkel, and enjoy a beach barbecue from Praia.

“Our driver and guide were great. Activity said snorkeling but there were 6 people and 3 snorkels. The swimming and snorkeling were over the side of the boat in the cave we only stayed for about 15 mins. The current was a bit rough and it was only large rocks to see. BBQ was tasty but beach is very rocky (recommend water shoes) and dirty with no good place to sit. Does seem typical. Overall trip was great but felt expensive.”

“Amazing time sea fishing with my husband. We caught lots of different types of fish and I had never been fishing before !!! Due to rough seas, was advisable not to snorkel which was wise. We landed on a deserted beach and then had a delicious bbq, eating the fresh fish we had just caught. Absolutely loved the whole day and would definitely recommend to anyone 😊”
