The 6 BBQ Trips in Cape Verde That Earn Their Price

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

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

Review of Santiago Island’s boat, cave snorkeling, and beach BBQ tour from Praia, including costs, stops, food, guides, and practical tips.

“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.”

Review of Boa Vista’s private fishing, snorkeling, and barbecue boat tour, with fresh fish, Djeu island, beach time, price, and practical tips.

“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 😊”

5.Boat Trip to Aguas Belas Cave+Barbecue

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 6 reviews · 4 hours · from $141

Sail to Aguas Belas Cave on Santiago Island, swim inside, then enjoy a local fish barbecue on a quiet black sand beach.

“Mijn man en ik hadden een gezellige en avontuurlijke dag met gids Kevin en zijn collega’s. We werden per taxi naar Ribeira da Barca gebracht door Kevin en onze chauffeur. We konden stoppen waar we wilden voor een foto of om wat te drinken te halen. De boottocht was heel mooi, we konden zwemmen in de grot Aguas Belas en hebben veel foto’s gemaakt. Daarna volgden een privéstrand waar we een smakelijke (op ons verzoek vegetarische) maaltijd kregen. Kevin was een kundige gids en sprak goed Engels. De rest van het team waren vrolijke en hulpvaardige mannen. We raden deze trip aan.”
