Whale Watching in Cape Verde: The 4 Best Trips

1.Boa Vista: Whale Watching Trip with Motoryacht

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 115 reviews · 3 hours · from $94Our pick

Search for humpback whales off Boa Vista with a marine biologist, hotel pickup, drinks, and a three-hour yacht trip from Sal Rei.

“Saw no Whales which was fine- understood the risk whilst booking the trip. The thing that agitated me was the instructor who when asked 'did you see any whales on the morning trip?' (we were on the afternoon slot)- told us 'No, to be honest we are now out of season for the whales we likely won't see any.' keeping the trip open and available to book. Paying £130 for two people, and knowing we weren't really in season. This is greed by the provider, and the option to book should be limited to the particular season. All should be refunded. thanks”
