Welcome, cruise passengers! Spectacular rock formations made of 100% volcanic stone, a hot coastline and a pleasantly cool interior: accompanied by Don, a middle-aged German expat living in Cape Verde, you will spend a relaxed day on a small island in the middle of the Atlantic. Our destination is Assomada, in the heart of the island. Here you will discover the market, the large pedestrian area with its church and open square, statues of our ancestors and former conquerors, and of course the famous Poilão, a giant tree around 800 years old with a trunk almost 30 metres in circumference. We will show you some great spots for taking photos and tell you the best stories and anecdotes from more than four years of expat life in Cape Verde. To finish the day, we offer an exclusive tasting of grogue, beer and fruit juices that you will only find with us. Our co-guide Edney speaks English, French and Portuguese. In Cape Verde, our motto is: “No Stress!” Hop in… enjoy the day… take 1,000 photos… and tell everyone about it afterwards. This tour is ideal for cruise passengers, for example from Mein Schiff and AIDA.
