Why choose us

Quality

At Explore Cape Verde, we are proud to offer a range of high quality, environmentally friendly tours that bring you closer to nature while showcasing Sal's vibrant history and culture. Our carefully selected team is made up of dedicated marine biologists and ecologists. So you can be sure that we will always be respectful of the flora and fauna we encounter on our nature excursions. Our entire team has a real passion for nature, which is reflected in our excursions. We are committed to ensuring that our excursions are the best on the island and that our clients leave with fantastic memories of the island of Sal.

Conservation

We are the only tour company to donate a percentage of each tour directly to the charity Project Biodiversity, to help support conservation efforts on the island of Sal. To date, we have donated more than €15,000 to protect loggerhead turtles and other endangered animals, helping to preserve Sal's wildlife for future generations. We also support the Nakawe project, a non-profit organization dedicated to saving the world's declining shark populations. Most recently, we made a donation to their "Game Over Fishing" campaign, a feature-length documentary designed to raise awareness and highlight the devastating effects of illegal overfishing in our oceans.

Sustainability

Explore Cape Verde is the first example of sustainable ecotourism in Sal. We are proud to have signed the first "Declaration for Responsible and Sustainable Tourism" in Sal. We were honoured to be one of the few companies to be invited to sign, in recognition of our ongoing commitment to sustainable and environmentally friendly tourism. This document is a 10-point code of conduct for tour providers, in which we commit to protecting the environment, supporting local livelihoods and upholding local cultural norms, such as respecting and promoting local culture in our tours.
