Shore Excursion: Beaches, Villages and Monte Verde, São Vicente

Your adventure begins with a warm welcome at the Porto Grande Exit Entrance gate, where our friendly staff will meet you by the administrative offices, just a short 5-minute walk from the ship. Upon arrival, a sign bearing your name will ensure you’re in the right place, and our GREEN LINE TOURS team will be ready to assist with any needs. From here, we’ll set off for a full day of exploring São Vicente, starting with a scenic journey out of the city to witness the island’s most beautiful coastal beaches and villages, including a stop at Baía das Gatas, known for its calm waters and stunning natural setting. Along the way, you’ll learn about the local culture, which has been shaped by the island’s hardworking people and breathtaking landscapes.

As we travel through the island, you’ll have the chance to admire the contrasting beauty of São Vicente’s coastline, where turquoise waters meet both black and white sand beaches. You’ll have the opportunity to take a swim or simply relax by the water, allowing the gentle coastal breeze to refresh you. The pristine beaches provide the perfect setting for a peaceful moment in nature, whether you’re diving into the waves or dipping your toes into the soft sand. We’ll also stop to visit some of the island’s welcoming villages, where life continues at a slower pace and the local culture is rich and visible in everyday life.
