When to go:

For me the best months to go are:

March/April/May: you can do whale whatching

July/August/September/October: the weather is good and you can see the turtle. Turtle-watching tours (observation of nesting loggerhead turtles) are conducted at night from early July to mid October.

How to go:

Local ecotourism agency which promotes ecotourism activities on Boa Vista by making local people aware about the economical value of the natural resources and the importance of a long-term conservation, facilitating their involvement and participation in the project activities and benefits

Where to go:

Sal Rei:

Hotel

Migrante guest house

http://www.migrante-guesthouse.com

Small boutique hotel with charme in Sal Rei

Restaurant

Ca Luisa (lobster, italian food)

When I came to Boavista some years ago, I discovered this genuine restaurant with the wonderful creole cuisine from Luisa (Lobster, tuna, local fish)

“When Luisa decided that she was tired of working and that it was time to enjoy a well earned rest, Bruno decided to try to put his previous experience in the restaurant in what has always been the “monument” for good food in Boavista.”

For what I see, the comments are still very positive.

But if you want, Luisa is still cooking in her home for people who is interested in tasting real creole cuisine
