Overview

This 2-hour guided buggy tour explores the southern desert and coastline of Sal Island. Participants drive automatic 1000cc dune buggies through salt flats near Santa Maria, passing sand dunes, beaches, and a natural reserve. The route includes stops at beaches known for kitesurfing in winter and Loggerhead Turtles nesting in summer. The group tour holds up to 16 people, with a maximum of two per buggy. The tour includes a local guide, hotel pickup and drop-off, a suit, helmet, belt, glasses, and a bottle of water. Participants drive their own buggy, and a valid driving license is required. The tour does not include transfers from Murdeira Village, food, drinks, souvenir photos, or scarves/bandanas, which can be purchased separately. Key stops along the route feature a kitesurfing beach popular in winter and a turtle nesting site in summer, Serra Negra mountain and its lunar landscape views, Murdeira Bay with views of Lion Mountain, and Ponta Preta Beach, where volcanic rocks create strong winter waves favored by surfers and calmer summer conditions with golden sand.

Itinerary

1

Kitesurfing and Turtle Beach

This beach attracts kitesurfers during winter due to strong winds and waves. In summer, Loggerhead Turtles come to this beach to lay their eggs, replacing the winter crowd.

2

Serra Negra

Known as the "Black mountain," Serra Negra is located in the natural reserve on Sal's east coast. The summit offers views of a lunar-like landscape. At the mountain base lies one of Sal's wildest beaches, which hosts Loggerhead Turtles during summer.

3

Murdeira

Murdeira Bay offers wide views of Lion Mountain, providing a scenic stop during the tour.

4

Ponta Preta Beach

Ponta Preta, meaning "Black Point," is named for its dark volcanic rocks. In winter, high waves favored by surfers and windsurfers stir black sand from the sea floor. In summer, the ocean calms and the beach takes on a golden color.
