Family excursion on Boa Vista: tips for travelling with children

4 min read · October 2026

Discovering Boa Vista as a family is possible and very enjoyable, as long as you pick the right option. A car excursion is often the best fit: no licence needed, no handlebars to hold, a seat in the shade of the vehicle and a guide who handles the road. Here is how to prepare so that everyone, from the smallest to the tallest, has a good time.

For families with older children used to long days

With young children, the morning half-day is usually the right compromise: you enjoy the relative cool and keep the afternoon for the beach or the pool. With older children, the full day lets you stop longer at each place.
