CAPE VERDE TRAVEL VLOG 2023 | RIU Touareg, 7 days in west Africa

Welcome to my Cape Verde travel vlog! In this vlog I’ll take you on an unforgettable journey to Boa Vista, a stunning and super remote island destination. I stayed at the RIU Touareg hotel, and in this week-long trip, I explored the beautiful island, indulged in lots of fun activities, and experienced the true beauty of Cape Verde!
We went horse riding in Sal Rei, cruising on a catamaran, and enjoyed a magical sunset dinner. We seriously spent the week basking in the warm Cape Verdean sun. Let's not forget the unforgettable experience of a sunset dinner, it was so so stunning and we even got to meet the local children along the beach with their pup ‘benny’.
Cape Verde itself is a country of unparalleled beauty. With its pristine beaches, rugged landscapes, and untouched natural wonders, it offers a truly unique experience for any adventurer. Prepare to be captivated by the remote charm of Boa Vista, where the unspoiled beauty of the island will leave you breathless.
Join me on this incredible journey as I share my experiences from my trip to Boa Vista, Cape Verde.

[@Cell.7]

Nice vlog 😊 I really loved it❤

[@haatpraat606]

Nice vlog . . . .I'm going to book my 2nd trip out to Cape Verde in the last 17 months, tomorrow. Like the last trip I will flying down from here in the Netherlands, then staying in Santa Maria (RIU Palace) for a week. I thought about going to Boa Vista, but also thought the beaches on Boa Vista were no where as good as in Santa Maria - but the Boa Vista beach in this vid looks OK. Like the last trip, I'm going to do NOTHING apart from walk on the beach. Normally in the past I would head off to the Caribbean, but unlike the Caribbean I have no family in Africa, so no fam hassles. Cape Verde is beautiful and perfect if you want no drama, just peace, quiet and truly stunning beaches.

Hello lovely, did you notice any flies around the buffet or anything about food poisoning? My family have book 11 days in July and as a person with severe anxiety from a fear of sick - i'm so terrified! xx

[@JanessaElizabethT]

Heyy no not at all, I was wondering the same before I went too because I did some research on tiktok and everyone was talking about food poisoning and flies haha but just confirming we were completely fine, the food selection was great & always kept clean! ☺️

[@mellymel9892]

[@asmrkanina5440]

What did you think about the food at the hotel? Can you write the excursions you did? Were there any shops to buy stuff?

[@JanessaElizabethT]

Hey yeah ofc so, the hotel food had a wide range of cuisines & it was well kept, I just wish they had a veggie section or even an alternative for pork like Turkey rashers as i don’t eat pork. But other than that, no complaints. The excursions; Horse riding - 1hr trip, really enjoyed 10/10 (suggest taking coins to tip the staff) Sunset dinner - lovely to see the culture, really enjoyed lovely vibes. 9/10 because it was quite a long evening, kind of dragged out but fab time. Catamaran - decent excursion & enjoyed, the staff was really friendly. Only thing that put me off was the staff not being aware of the people in the water during snorkelling. 7/10. We barely saw shops as we only left the hotel for the excursions. The hotel has a couple, i only went in one which sold snacks etc. hope that helps!

[@thrcs]

Can you please confirm the prices for excursions, I’ll be going in 3 weeks 🎉

[@JanessaElizabethT]

Ah you’ll love it! I can’t for the life of me remember the exact prices but they ranged £30-70pp I think horse riding was the cheapest ☺️

[@JanessaElizabethT]

I’ve just checked on the Tui app the sunset dinner is £54pp, horse riding is 39pp and the catamaran is £51pp

[@thrcs]

@@JanessaElizabethT thank you so much!🩷

[@asmrkanina5440]

Also can you tell me what kind if drone you have?

[@JanessaElizabethT]

I have the DJI mini 2

[@aidanmaguire8712]

Yes very remote with 7 hours flying time from UK and no direct flights from Ireland

[@JanessaElizabethT]

oh no that's really unfair that there isnt any direct flights from Ireland ;(

[@feet9100]

What's the night life like do they hav any bars that play R@B hip hop soul or dance

[@mariancounsellor]

That is no way a 5 star hotel, it actually looks like a 2 star. The bathroom is not good at all.

[@aidanmaguire8712]

Very expensive for imports
