A car excursion on Boa Vista needs no technical equipment, but a few good habits make all the difference between a comfortable day and an endured one. Intense sun, wind, dust on the tracks, few places to buy water: here is the checklist to go through the evening before.
The essentials
- Water: count on at least 1.5 to 2 litres per person for a day, more between May and October
- SPF 50 sunscreen to reapply, sunglasses and a hat or cap
- Light, covering clothes: breathable fabrics, thin long sleeves against the sun
- Comfortable closed shoes for walking on sand and stones, flip-flops for the beach
- A light jacket: the wind can be cool at viewpoints or late in the day
Small extras that make a difference
- Swimsuit and a light towel if a swim is possible
- A little cash in euros for a drink or a souvenir
- A charged phone and a power bank: the viewpoints invite a lot of photos
- A scarf or bandana against wind and dust
- Travel-sickness medication if you are prone to it: some tracks are bumpy

Respecting the island
Boa Vista is a fragile place. Leave no rubbish behind, stay on the paths, don't disturb the animals (turtles in particular) and leave the sand, shells and stones where you found them. Your guide will tell you what is and isn't allowed.
