Explore São Vicente’s beaches, villages, farms, Baía das Gatas, and Monte Verde on a practical five-hour tour from Mindelo.

“I'm usually cautious of tours because I get tired after a certain time and can't do ones that go on and on and on forever lol. So this tour seemed perfect at 5.5 hours with pick up at 09:00 and drop off at 14:30, so not too early and time left in the afternoon for myself. We visited most places on the island, it's not that big and I enjoyed our little cafezinho up on the top of Monte Verde with lovely views. We had a really terrific lunch - great food. There were four of us in the group which makes it more manageable for me and the other…”

4.Hike Monte Verde

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 8 reviews · 3 hours · from $64Best value

Hike Monte Verde above Mindelo for island views, endemic plants, local tea, and a guided mountain walk with flexible cancellation.

“Ich hatte eine unterhaltsame Wanderung mit Raquel. Einen Teil der Strecke sind wir einen steinigen, mäßig gesicherten Weg gelaufen, den Rest bis zum Gipfel dann die Straße mit Kopfsteinpflaster. Man sollte auf jeden Fall eine Windjacke mitnehmen, da es an manchen Stellen enorm windig und kalt sein kann. Leider war der Ausblick an dem Tag auch nicht gut. Dafür gab es oben einen kleinen Imbiss und Kaffee oder Tee zum Aufwärmen. Viele Touristen fahren einfach mit dem Auto zum Gipfel, es ist jedoch viel entspannter und bewusster, diesen Weg zu wandern.”
