Small-group excursion or tourist bus on Boa Vista: what's the difference?

3 min read · October 2026

On Boa Vista you'll find all kinds of outings: shared minibuses, vehicle convoys, tours that bring several groups together… and others where you set off with your own group, and only your group. The scenery is the same; the experience can be very different. Here are the criteria that really matter before choosing.

Who is each option for?

A large-group tour can suit you if you like meeting other travellers and don't mind a fixed schedule. A small group is a better fit if you travel as a family, a couple or with friends and want to enjoy things at your own pace, ask your guide questions and not depend on another group running late.
