Car excursion on Boa Vista: half-day or full day, how to choose?

5 min read · September 2026

Don't feel like driving, are travelling as a family, or simply prefer to enjoy the scenery rather than keep your eyes on the track? A car excursion is the most comfortable way to discover Boa Vista, accompanied by a local guide who knows the island and its hidden corners. One question remains: half-day or full day? Here is how to make the right choice.

Half-day or full day?

QuadAzul offers three excursion options, with simple prices and no surprises: €35 per person for a half-day, €70 per person for a full day. The price is the same in the morning or the afternoon — it is the atmosphere that changes.

🌅
Half-day — Morning
€35 / person
Early start, soft light, heat still moderate
🌇
Half-day — Afternoon
€35 / person
Early-afternoon start, golden light at the end of the route
☀️
Full day
€70 / person
Both atmospheres combined, to explore several emblematic sites

In practice, the half-day suits a short stay very well or if you prefer to keep part of the day free — for the beach, a nap or another activity. The full day lets you take your time, stop longer at each place and cover more ground without rushing.

One group, one vehicle, per slot

No bus packed with twenty tourists, no groups mixing together. Each slot — morning or afternoon — is a single departure, with capacity limited to the seats in the vehicle. You share the outing with your own group, accompanied by a local guide who knows the roads, the stories and the best moments for each site.

As places are limited per slot, booking in advance is recommended — especially in high season, when morning and afternoon departures fill up fast.

Excursion or quad: how to choose?

QuadAzul's two activities complement each other rather than compete. The quad is for those who want to hold the handlebars, feel the track and stop wherever they like. The car excursion is designed for those who prefer to be carried along — and enjoy the scenery rather than the road.

Nothing stops you from combining both during your stay: a car excursion for a first overview of the island, then a quad rental to return and explore at your own pace the places that struck you.

What to bring before you go?

No special equipment is needed for a car excursion — that's the whole point. A few essentials are enough to make the most of the outing:
