The Secret Paradise Island We'd Never Heard Of (Santo Antão, Cape Verde) | Ep. 58

[@BonnieVolkle]

No words to describe the beauty you shared❤

[@rimasmeleshyus9486]

One of the most friendly people in the world 🌎 also extremely beautiful and I will sail ⛵️ from Hawaiian islands to Cabo Verde islands 🏝. Thanks for sharing. Greetings from beautiful Hawaii islands 📸 ⛵️ 🏝

[@NavikaSailing]

Great trip idea! Long way to go but so many beautiful places along the way I'm sure!

[@amunetbahiti9084]

The most interesting thing is that there's a connection between cape verde and Hawaii because of the whaling Era. It was us and azoreans that brought the cavaquinho aka ukulele to Hawaii and to this day, there are capeverdean descendants over there. I know this because I am native to cape verde who's been living in the USA since 1988. Blessings to you all and thanks kindly to this channel for showing love to my little country. Love ❤️ and light ✨️ 💛 😊

[@JoeHaynie]

Thanks. Great overview of one of our favorite places on earth. We lived in Sao Vicente for about 18 months and went to Santo Antao probably 24 times at all different seasons. Looks like you got there at a green and gorgeous time of year.

[@iamyouaretheyarenot3189]

which month is this green and gorgeous? :) can't find anywhere which month they went there :) i want to go now February/March but the pictures i see are all cloudy and misty now

[@JoeHaynie]

@@iamyouaretheyarenot3189 The rainy season (when they have one) is late July through about October so to see it that green you need to go around August through November at the latest.

[@adrianmarsh865]

Wow, absolutely the most amazing scenery I have ever seen on any channel ever!! You guys do an amazing balance of scenery, commentary and music. Thanks for sharing that!!!

[@NavikaSailing]

Thank you Adrian! Sooo nice to hear 😄🥰

[@arottie4097]

[@NavikaSailing]

[@DD-xx8wh]

[@xrosyrodriguesx]

Now in my bucket list

[@mermaid7775]

Beautiful! Nice to see swaths of paradise still unspoiled by tourism. Loved discovering this one with you! 🌞

[@CuriousHumbleMarie]

Oh my goodness...such an stunningly beautiful place! The stones and terraces remind me a little bit of Machu Picchu but on a much smaller scale of course. So peaceful, lush, alive with abundant food. It's truly special for too many reasons to list and you did a wonderful job capturing it! 💙

[@NavikaSailing]

You’re right it does remind me a bit of Machu Picchu too! Just the abundance of plants and the peacefulness. 2 of my all time favourite places!

[@tropicalbluwaters]

This was an absolutely wonderful travel video. You found paradise.

[@NavikaSailing]

Glad you enjoyed it Jeff! Thank you

[@Danielson021281]

Thank you very much for such a great vlog. Glad you guys enjoyed your stay, i was born in St Antao, and after watching the video i had to book a flight home 😂❤

[@erineurodrigues7071]

Thank you so much for showing my island to the world. I am a local guide in Santo Antão.

[@DD-bx3gm]

Beautiful scenery, you two are living a beautiful life. You know what would be great? Let's hear more of Alex's great singing. She sings fantastic. Thank you from Los Angeles. Save me some "grogue." "Happy Birthday Alex"

[@NavikaSailing]

Ah thank you! Yes when we have more down time and aren't sailing as much we'll try and include some more singing! 😄

[@bm-kb8kh]

Nice you enjoyed! Santo Antão é um mundo! Obrigado

[@NavikaSailing]

It's beautiful :) Obrigada!

[@dougsullivan3564]

Happy Birthday Alex 🎉!

[@neuzajesus4201]

I loved your video about my parents home island. It is my paradise, my sacred heaven. I’m glad you have enjoyed it. Great views and hikes.

[@NavikaSailing]

Wow, that's where your family is from? How lucky! Absolutely beautiful, we loved it there

[@glennrudolph9867]

Wow… just wow… 👏👏👏

[@yvesolution181]

We met in Aldeia Manga on your birthday maybe you remember us, my girlfriend spoke a few words with your dad, we were 3 adults and one child..... fantastic video, the best and most informative I ever saw on youtube!!! Well done!

[@NavikaSailing]

Oh hey! Yes I remember you guys, so cool that you found us on here :) Hope you enjoyed the rest of your trip there, we could go back! 🥰 And thank youuu

[@yvesolution181]

@@NavikaSailing :-) we go back next week ;-) greet your parents!

[@ymk8355]

This Island is now on my bucketlist!

[@NavikaSailing]

Yesss! 🙌 So rare to find gems like this these days

[@stevecrombie5357]

Absolutely stunning. Possibly the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen on a vlog. Happy birthday Alex. I always get to see these things through your eyes. You take the videos and sit down and make the decision on what best reflects your journey. Very cool. It felt ancient at times. What century did mankind first "settle" this island. Thank you so much.

[@amunetbahiti9084]

I envision a lot of people choosing certain islands of cape verde to live #offgrid and santo Antao is ideal for such. This native of this beautiful place feels that sodad aka longing that cesaria evora sings 😢❤❤❤❤❤

[@adilneves6527]

Super dope seeing this! Im from Cabo Verde and I'm organising TEDxMindelo 2023. I'm looking forward to see what we could do together.

[@braddobson2060]

Very good video THANKS FOR SHARING Happy Birthday

[@NavikaSailing]

Thanks Brad!

[@imperadorz]

I'm glad you enjoyed my country, have a good and safe trip, kisses and huges from São Vicente. Come back soon.

[@NavikaSailing]

Thank you! We did enjoy it very much 😃

[@Tibor-Travel]

Thanks for this video!

[@colinh1744]

I had a huge smile on my face all through this video. Amazing, thanks so much you guys, it's made my week, I will be watching this again for sure! XXX

[@robmoote1508]

Thanks, for bringing back great memories. I have been to Santo Antao a few times. It is amazing that where some of the little villages and houses are built on the side of the mountains. Did you make it to the village of Tarrafal?

[@paulstephens5229]

You guys are so much more than just a sailing channel, thankyou for sharing your journey, and how fit you guys must be, that was not an easy hike.👍

[@NavikaSailing]

Ah thanks Paul for watching and following along :) And yes that hike was pretty testing 😅

[@TheSkidon]

Amazing video - thanks!!!

[@sergest-pierre6160]

That was spectacular. Thanks

[@327365hp]

Like you said Alex, Whoa! What a stunning place!

[@NavikaSailing]

Definitely one of our highlights!

[@sterling19]

I loved the valley with everyone blasting music out their windows! I imagined a local tourist board organised rota where every day is a different genre...ok, guys, it's Thursday, so industrial dubstep if you please!

[@basicinfo5767]

Wow-beautiful, ​@Navika Sailing. Thanks for sharing 🙂 your journey. This was a great video. What made you all choose Kabuverdi? Great choice! Did you all leave there and head for the Caribbean?

[@johnsuch42]

That place looks amazing.

[@vernholmes7940]

What an incredible place!

[@Cell.7]

Very Nice Video👌🌳I really loved it 💕

[@iamyouaretheyarenot3189]

[@andrzejmarcak6490]

[@BitcoinNewsTodayLive]

Will you guys be coming up the US East Coast??? I'd love to buddy boat the Chesapeake with my T37 and show you some amazing anchorages if you do.

[@NavikaSailing]

We have no plans to yet but if we do we'll hit you up!

[@kotbob6292]

Nice you are 🤣☺️

[@doti6533]

[@danielpearson6306]

To heck with Caribbean this is do much better. No idiots hussein you and everything getting stolen or want to pirates. I live in the northwest USA and sailing to Alaska then to Mexico. Maybe should go there.

[@alphavariant5331]

You should

[@mirandasemedo9111]

Unfortunately Cape Verde government don’t know how show this side of Cape Verde. I was born in the fogo island, few km from a active volcano, just like santo Antão with amazing views.

[@clavadetscherfoto]

i just saw masks and stopped... c'mon! you are at the ass of the world and still play maskies?
