    An incredible excursion, all thanks to the driver/guide, who was very attentive throughout, willing to explain everything in detail. Thanks to him, we were able to enjoy the island's hidden corners; time flew by!

    It was an incredible experience and that was possible thanks to our guides, Maruin and Mauro, who explained and told us the history of each of the areas we were in, helped us at all times and were very attentive to our well-being. It is definitely worth it ️

Best Tours and Activities in Sal Rei | Book Experiences Online

Sal Rei is a laid-back coastal town on the island of Boa Vista in Cape Verde, known for its long sandy beaches, colorful colonial buildings, and gentle, island vibes. This seaside escape offers a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure, with crystal-clear waters, fresh seafood restaurants, and a warm welcome from the local community. Whether you’re looking to unwind by the ocean or explore nearby dunes and villages, Sal Rei has plenty to offer.

A Glimpse into the Past

Sal Rei has a rich and varied history shaped by trade and fishing. Once an important export point for salt—hence its name, which means “Salt King”—the town has retained much of its old-world charm. Its historic center features narrow streets, a lively market, and Portuguese-style architecture that reflects centuries of cultural influences.

When to Visit

The weather is pleasant year-round, with dry conditions and mild temperatures making any month a good time to visit. However, for those who enjoy water sports like windsurfing or kitesurfing, the breezy months from November to June are ideal, while the summer period promises calmer seas for swimming and boat trips.

Is Sal Rei good for families?

Yes, the calm atmosphere, gentle waves, and family-friendly beaches make it a great destination for visitors of all ages. Many local tours and excursions cater to families, offering fun and safe experiences.

Do I need to speak Portuguese or Creole?

While Portuguese and Cape Verdean Creole are widely spoken, you’ll find that many people working in tourism also speak English and other European languages, making communication easy for most visitors.
