Boa Vista Buggy Tour: 2-Hour Island Adventure from Rabil
Coast, dunes, and acacia forest — discover Boa Vista from behind the wheel.
This Boa Vista buggy tour covers the island's most striking landscapes in just two hours, combining coastal scenery, natural forest, and panoramic viewpoints into a single compact route. Guests are collected directly from their hotel, making the experience convenient from start to finish. The circuit is rated easy and suits a wide range of travellers.
The route begins at Rabil and heads toward the shoreline, where the open Atlantic provides a dramatic backdrop as you drive along the coast. Chaves Beach, one of the longest and most photographed stretches on the island, is a highlight along this section of the tour. The combination of clear water and windswept sand makes it a natural stopping point for photographs.
From the coast, the buggy trail leads into the Clotilde Forest, a notable acacia woodland that contrasts sharply with the surrounding arid terrain. The chapel of Our Lady of Fatima offers an elevated perspective over the sea before the route continues to the Bay of Sal Rei sand dune. The tour concludes with a return transfer to your accommodation.
