Unforgettable trip! Superb encounters, magnificent landscapes, hikes and amazing discoveries! All prepared and accompanied by an exceptional local guide, who knows his country like the back of his hand, and who will help you discover it in the best possible way: the one that suits you!

I had the opportunity to trek across Santo Antão Island with John. I was pleasantly surprised by the beauty of this island. John is a passionate and attentive guide. The organization was perfect. I recommend !

Went on an adventure with John from ”Soltur agency”. A superb organization for a very beautiful five-day trek through magnificent landscapes typically Cape Verdeans. We can only recommend this very young Cape Verdean agency of European standard with the kindness and thoughtfulness of a guide passionate about his island Santo Antão. You can book without worries.

Very nice trip to the heart of the locking and lunar nature of Cape Verde. The hikes are exotic and varied between the coastal path, walks on lush green paths. At each break a meal and an unforgettable welcome. The aquatic hike with the encounter with the turtles was a moment filled with wonder. Wear your shoes to be amazed.

I have been to Cape Verde twice. My last stay dates back but I remember it like it was yesterday, a very nice trip. I had the chance to meet friendly and warm people like John our guide. A nice person, attentive to our desires and very invested in his role as host. The island is full of beautiful walks and you can swim in a sea that is always warm because the sun shines all year round. I recommend this wonderful country for your next vacation.

Exceptional week with a true professional, passionate about his island. Warm and smiling, John knows how to adapt to everyone's desires and needs. He makes us discover very good addresses that he was able to unearth thanks to his contacts. The best address to discover the beauties of this extraordinary island.

What a wonderful experience I had with Soltur Cabo Verde - Trekking & Adventures!!! I traveled a few weeks to the Santo Antao island, where a made the wise decision to use Soltur to discover the entire island. John, the owner was very knowledgeable of the island and created a one-week itinerary that was perfect for me to see the island. He also, was always checking with me, to make sure I was well and if I needed anything. Thanks to Soltur, I saw beautiful landscapes; I was able to experience the local dishes. The food was bountiful and I hiked like a pro. I indeed recommend Soltur Cabo Verde - Trekking & Adventures and I will use their services again in my next visit to Cape Verde. Thank you Soltur Cabo Verde! I wish you guys all the best .

Our guide John was ready on arrival of the ferry with an A4 with our names on it, "hop" in the taxi van and go! Towards the crater and the valley. We walk into the mountains and continue to be amazed at all the beautiful clouds, stones, crops and views. So much grows here and we were allowed to taste almost everything. What an explosion of flavors and directly fresh from the country! Arabico coffee beans, sugar cane, bananas, oranges, mangoes, avocados, papaya, carrots, onions, beans, sweet potato, cabbage, coriander, parsley, rosemary, watercress, lemongrass and everything to smoke but no marijuana. What a special valley this is. Our driver takes us to the restaurant where our lunch will take place and even eats together with the guide. After dinner we take the taxi bus via the coastal side of the island back to the ferry to São Vicente. What a special hike this was, sooooo beautiful! We never wanted to miss this. John told and taught us a lot about this area, the island and the crops. Recommended!

We loved having John as our guide during our stay in Santo Antão! John organised 3 days of hiking for us on the island adapted to our level, our budget, and what we wanted to do. He took care of everything, from transportation with aluguers and taxis when necessary, delicious lunch in great spots at locals’, and activities contributing to sustainable tourism, including “grogue” (rhum) and fresh food tasting. We appreciated how knowledgable he was about the cap verdean culture and it’s flora and fauna. We learned a lot with him! He was very caring and made sure we were always safe and feeling good. Thanks to him, we got to see diverse and breathtaking landscapes while having fun. We absolutely recommend john as a guide and are looking forward to do more hikes with him in the future!

João is a great guide and the tour was amazing. Incredible island and unique landscapes! The service was flawless. We recommend it for anyone who wants to know the real cape verde, all trekking lovers will enjoy it.

John is a high quality guide, he knew how to listen to our desires and our abilities. We were able to do a wonderful hike enhanced by his observations and knowledge. I recommend and even more I would like to repeat the experience but this time by connecting with him before our trip to benefit from his advice on homestay accommodation and this have an even more immersive experience. The little extra is that he speaks French very well, which greatly facilitated our discussions.

From A to Z our stay on Santo Antão was a great success thanks to the professionalism of John (João) and his great SolTur team. Already before our departure John booked us boat tickets and especially flights by Bestfly, where we could not. We were picked up at the exact time for each transfer or excursion, well done Jair. Two perfect day trips, where John showed us breathtaking scenery, lunch stop at homestay WITH PONCHE 🤪. Really everything was perfect. So an agency highly recommended. Muito obrigada amigos 🇨🇻👍

Unforgettable experience! Beautiful landscapes and above all an experienced guide, very attentive and with a great personality, Jonh made our hike exceptional! I highly recommend! It's a great way to support local businesses!

Exceptional! John is on top and was responsive to offer us 3 days of trek as we wanted. We will not forget this magnificent discovery of Santo Antao and the good humor of the guide! I highly recommend 🤙🏼

We really loved our 2 day hike with John from Soltur. John created a bespoke 2 day hike for us, organising our flight and boat tickets as well as accommodation for the night, which was perfect. John's knowledge of the island and of the history of Cape Verde is impressive. We learned a lot and had lots of fun hiking with John. We'll definitely use this company again when we come back to Cape Verde.

John is a passionate and dedicated guide. He organized our visits according to our wishes, and we were able to enjoy a great trip. During the walks, we ate with the locals surrounded by views that were always breathtaking. And in the evening, we also slept with the locals, with nature for company. The paths are not marked, in addition to the difficulty of getting around, calling on John is the insurance to take advantage of the good places without having the stress of logistics. To do and redo. 🙂

We just had a great hiking adventure: the "Sao Antao big crossing" ! The tour with our guide John was perfectly organized and an extraordinary experience for all of us - beautiful landscape and views, outstanding food supply with various local vegetables, fish, spices and also vine and several liqueurs. We had various hiking-tours over the last years, but this was one of the best we ever had. Our guide John could tell us everything about flora and fauna of the island and in addition he provided many informations about the history, communitiy and people of Sao Antao. We can highly recommend to travel with Soltur - and many thanks to John for the great experience and I think we will come back soon👍😎!

We had a great time in Cabo Verde thanks to John and his amazing team at Soltur! John and his team arranged everything in a very smooth and quick way and we got to experience the country in the best way possible! The food, the hikes, the rum and the people were absolutely perfect. He arranged for us to travel to Fogo and climb the volcano and volcano caves, to Mindelo to eat amazingly fresh seafood, listen to local music and of course Santo Antao for the best hiking and local food experiences! Everything was organised and went very smoothly. All the flights, the transport, the food and the accomodation was ready - we simply just relaxed and went along. I would not hesitate to use Soltur as travel agency when travelling to Cabo Verde - in that way you can experience the islands as a local!

We are back with images, landscapes and encounters full of the head, rich of this time spent in Cape Verde. The multi-day hiking program with homestay immersion organized by John according to our wishes was great. He is in love with his island and communicates it with passion in impeccable French. The stages and the nights spent with the locals were very rich in discovering at the pace of our steps a way of life, a contrasting nature and many riches that make Santo Antao so charming. John was very accommodating in organizing our stay. Each of our questions found an answer thanks to his availability, his personality and his great knowledge of atypical places not to be missed. We recommend with eyes closed John who can be trusted.

Wonderful experience! Our guide John is careful, super-expert About hikes but also Cabo Verde history and culture. We ate delicious local food in beautiful local restaurants. We lived two unforgettable days with Soltur. We strongly recommend it!

We spent two unforgettable days with John. Excellent hikes, local gastronomy, everything was perfect! Thank you so much !!! Jaromír and Kamila, Czech Republic
