Private Creative Pictures Full Day Island Tour (Off Road inc.)
Overview
Pink Pick-up car, top Sal's attractions plus off-road gems spiced up with funny pictures and more - that is Franek Foto Tour in a nutshell.
I will take you to the most popular spots on Sal Island such as Kite Beach, Buracona, Murdeira, Salinas (both those close to Santa Maria, as well as in Pedra de Lume – the latter we will see however from out-of-the-box view).
But what I want to show you is less known, yet stunning sights of the island. My tour goes partly off-road – we will go to the places where ony quads or 4x4 vehicles can go. It will be also a trip in time - I will show you some medical plants and places that have traces of how Sal used to look like. If ocean conditions are favourable, we will also swim in natural swimming pools.
Every tour us different and tailored according to the needs of my guests and we stop in every place as long as you wish. So you can leave your watch at the hotel, but please do not forget to bring your swimming suit, sun cream and camera!

Excursion with Franek in a nutshell? Passion and creativity. We went all around the island, partly on the off road where we were the only car! Fun, professional, full of stories about Cape Verde and its culture. And on top of it all - funny pictures! We also went trekking - this guy know all the stones on the island! So if you like something different, yet with the highest quality - choose the island tour (and trekking) with Franek.trailblazer12016

My friends and I booked the private full Day Island tour, we enjoyed an amazing day with this Tour company. I’ve had surgery on my left foot, I was concerned about not being given enough time to fully immerse myself in the culture, adventures and stories of Cape Verde island. My concerns were allayed from the outset, Franek was knowledgeable, fun, passionate, creative and his patience was greatly welcomed and appreciated. A skilled professional who is adept at tailoring a bespoke tour that far exceeded our expectations. Loads of laughter, breathtaking memorable scenic moments, I highly recommend Franek, this Tour company.
