SAL, CAPE VERDE: Travel Guide to Beaches & ALL Top Sights in 4K + Drone
Vložit
- čas přidán 22. 02. 2022
- Cape Verde is a tropical paradise off the coast of Africa. The islands are popular holiday destinations for Europeans and therefore also for the Dutch. What is there to do? For example, I often heard that Cape Verde would not have much to offer. Nothing is less true. Watch the video and see for yourself that Cape Verde has much more to offer than a few beaches and coves. In this episode you see the island of Sal with the cozy town of Santa Maria, the capital Espargos, the wonderful Olho Azul, the Salinas, Kite Surf Beach and Shark Bay, where the sharks swim between your legs!
This year we travel all over the world and after the Canary Islands and Oman Cape Verde is our third destination. In this episode we start on the island of Sal and the next episode we also visit the island of Boa Vista.
Follow us on this world trip, first in Cape Verde and then to many more beautiful destinations! We travel non-stop all year round and film everything. Also take a look at instagram @woutoftheworld or www.woutoftheworld.nl

My dad's family is from Sal, I have always wanted to visit and learn more about my culture. Can't wait until I can!
Ah yes you really should! Have you seen the video about Boavista as well? Cape Verde was truly a pleasant surprise for us travellers. Especially when you have roots there you’ll love it! We are actually going back to Africa in the next 10 videos or so, as well. Hope you stay tuned and for sure go there some day!
Hi, so you are cape verdean, what you are waiting for? ???
Going there in the summer. Can't wait!
Hi Fletchy! Thanks for the comment. Happy travels and enjoy Cape Verde! Hope you’ll join us to other destinations too. Cheers 👍🏻
Thank you nice music , I was there Sal island , couple of week ago … superb country !!!!!! I didnt know port Antiguo had such nice flats … I was not far from … passing in front of them …very nice fish plate out there …. Friendly overall atmosphere …
True, the village has a great atmosphere indeed!

Thank you for the support bro! I wish you a super holiday. Cheers from Malaysia at the moment 😁👍🏻

Thanks for the sharing!
I'm Native from Sal
Hopefully you had and enjoyed our "morabeza"
Thank you for the kind reply! Yes we did enjoy the spirit of the people a lot 😁🤙
Looks like Paradise, great video ❤❤
Thanks Paul. Sal is great and we hope to return again. Also to check out some other islands of Cape Verde. Did you find the episode about Boa Vista? Cheers 😁👍🏻
As Unclelongbeard would say SMASHING!
Thanks Simon 😁👍🏻
Amazing vídeo ! Thanks 😍
No problem! Welcome and thanks 😁🤙🏻
This video is amazing, thank you for sharing! Hoping to visit Sal next year! What time of year did you visit Sal? And is there a time of year that is best to visit?
Hi! Thanks. Pretty much every season is good, but if you need wind for any kind of surfing: from christmas til early summer. The summer and after is hotter with less wind.
Nice one... I'm going next two weeks for a wee break 😜
This is one of the best video I have seen on you tube so far about this island : SAL ….thank you so much ! is reflecting very well the overall impression , you forgot to show those “friendly “ dogs walking here and there asking waiting some food … … they could be counted as part of the human population somehow … …😊😊
Thanks for the big compliment! We were very surprised by Sal too. The video turned out quite well I guess. We'll go back for sure. It's not too far and easy to visit. Cheers from us! 😄🤙🏻
@@WoutoftheWorld thank you so much again , i will share the video with several contacts is the best one ….I will go back soon as well for sure , btw I have been invited in Oman nice location apparently …. Take care of you guys ….you are a beautiful family 🙏🏽…
Just found your channel and really like your videos!!! As said on previous video, just been in Sal last week and was amazing! However, I can notice when you went, was a bit less wind! Anyway, the experience was fantastic! :)
Hi Jim! Thanks for the support and nice comment. The wind can be strong indeed, some places more than others. Have you visited other islands as well in CV? We are thinking about going back soon! 😁👍🏻
@@WoutoftheWorld sorry, I just got a notification of your reply now! 🙈🤪 no, only been in Sal! The idea was to go to BoaVista too but, probably because it winter time, ferry connection between islands was very poor. I’ll come back soon to Cabo Verde that’s for sure, would love to go to Mindelo too in São Vicente island. Cesária Évora was from there and that’s where you can find more bohemian and culture of the country. Keep doing great on your channel! ✌️
And that his how to bring your children up,fantastic.x
Haha thanks Philip! Did you see the other videos after Sal? We traveled the world last year and are still on the way in Africa, after videos in the Caribbean, North America, South America, Asia and Australia! Cheers and welcome 😁🤙🏻
@@WoutoftheWorld I haven't.but I'll check them out now.x
Beautiful video 🤗
Thanks 😉🤙
Beautiful
As an African myself i was totally inside box i didn t know about this beautiful country. thanks to AFCON, even though we beat you guy's but we still brother's i will visit this place for now own.❤

@@WoutoftheWorld yes I'm from S.A, and thanks to hear that your mom she from this side, as my commander in chief CIC Malema always said we're one family from one house just living in different room's, so yes jast waiting one of the toughest match against "super eagle's"
My beautiful country 🥹
Thanks Ariana! We love your country a lot 😍👍🏻
Hi
Verdade❤

Thnx for visiting our beautyfull country😊
I come soon. Can't wait!
We are heading to Sal soon, thanks for the video!
That’s great! Hope you can use some of the recommendations. We are still on this trip, traveling the whole year. If you have other destinations, have a look 😁👍🏻 cheers and have fun on Sal!
@@WoutoftheWorld will be watching the Boa Vista video. I'm from the UK. Because of Brexit we rotate Tenerife, Croatia, Tenerife and now Sal/Boa Vista every 90 days. Cape Verde will be our destination each year around Xmas. Hope the rest of your trip goes well! I've shared the link to a few people.
I love Sal so so much❤ and the pure people and the music...please beam me back to Sal
Sal really surprised us. Because some other islands are greener and have more mountains, people tend to say Sal is a bit boring. Actually, the nature is pretty unique and on top of that the atmosphere makes up for the lack of green. Such a great vibe 😁 ben je Nederlands trouwens? Ik lees nu je naam 😂 We hebben de video’s in twee talen. Groetjes!
@@WoutoftheWorld ja! Nederlands
Very nice 🥰
Thanks for the compliments Celly 😁🤙🏻
Woww beautiful.....salam dari indonesia😘😘
Thanks! We love your warm welcome and support 😁👍🏻 cheers from the family and hope you’ll enjoy other videos too as we keep visiting new destinations every week! 🙏🏻
Oi boa noute gue lindo video Parabens pelo seu video no seu canal de ouTube ilha do sal muito bunita
Thanks for the compliments!
Superb presentation!
Thanks Zacheriah! I hope you subscribed to see other Cape Verde videos and many more this year. Thanks for the compliments 😁😁👍🏻
@@WoutoftheWorld Yes I have!
In Sal is it all safe? Do I need to go all inclusive and stay in a hotel or is it cheaper to go to local restaurants etc. is it safe to walk streets at night for example?
It is so safe! We walked around with our small boy as you can see. I really didn’t like to go for all inclusive here, as the streets and the restaurants are so nice and friendly. We did not experience any unsafety and as you will see in the other episode about Boavista we also visited the slums there. 🙏🏻❤️
@@WoutoftheWorld hi , thanks for info vid .. what are general eating out costs like in comparison to say the canaries? Obg ✌️
Hey dear friend! I would like to know if its possible to buy a drone in Cape Green. Thankyou in advance
Im going Santa Maria next month, anyone can say something about wind there?? Apparently could be very windy 🤔
I’m going here on Tuesday 25 July
Looks like the Canary islands but less crowded.
Is there enough to do for young children
Hi Mark! Just outside the first resort was a big playground. The tours we did by car were also very child proof. Our son loved Cape Verde a lot and still talks about it. We are now still traveling, from Philippines back to Africa at the moment! 😁👍🏻
Those are black tip reef sharks if I’m not mistaken ? Not usually harmful to humans please correct me if I’m wrong
Hi Matthew, no they are Lemon sharks, but indeed not harmful. It’s a pretty popular place where you can spot them easily. They aren’t that big, but they are very curious!
How is the WiFi?
Wifi is usually not very good on Sal. However the first apartment that we had, had great connection!
❤🇨🇻🙏🏽
the hotel name01:00.02:00
I think I mention it in the video right? Porto Antigo is the name of the residence.
Cape Verde has some of the most beautiful music a country has ever produced, it's a pity that you didnt notice it and/or chose to have generic light music as background. Otherwise good video 👍
Hi Subtle Moments, we know about Cape Verde music of course. However, you cannot use music without getting copyright issues. There is no Cape Verde music available for free use, like.. at all. So yes of course we did notice (I live in Rotterdam, a city with lots of people from Cape Verde) and no we didn’t chose not to use any.. it’s just how the world is. 😂
Ok cool! Wouldve been nice to mention it, then !
@@SubtleMomentscalm down

Porto Antigo 😁👍🏻
Hi
I was on holiday in Sal for 3 weeks last year. I must honestly say that it was a bit disappointing. It is a very impoverished and dirty islandwith a lot of ruins. (except for the resort part in Santa Maria). It's a shame that hardly any travel vlogs shows about this reality . The Cape Verdeans are very nice people, but everyone there sees you as a walking wallet. You cannot take a step on the beach, walk through Santa Maria in the evening or when visiting Shark Bay for example, or you will be constantly bothered by pushy street vendors. I save hard all year round to be able to go on holiday and I want to have moments of peace. No more Sal for us and I heard from many fellow travelers that they also found it very disappointing. I am sure that the number of returning travelers to Sal is practically zero. We normally always go on holidays to the Caribbean (Curacao and Bonaire) and will continue to do so from now on.
pros Sal:
very nice people
Shark Bay
pronto beach
street dogs are very lovely
negative:
not the best food and yes we tried a lot of restaurants
pushy street vendors
many ruins and other signs of poverty
little to do
beach looks more beautiful on the vlogs than in reality
almost no opportunities for snorkeling,the current is to strong and the view is bad
Hi JW! I can imagine your opinion about Sal, however I am not that negative about Cape Verde. Having been to so many countries, I understand that there is a big difference between rich tourism countries and plain third world countries. We love to travel Africa, India or South America too, but you should never expect it to be only suited for tourism. The countries are raw and real. For me that’s actually one of the most beautiful things to see when we are traveling. I think Sal might not be suited for the tourism that Bonaire and Curacao have, that’s true. Although I used to live on Curacao and can tell you that most of Curacao will be like Sal too, but you just don’t go there. Tourism is more seperated from the harsh reality of poverty. I do understand your view, but for us the world is always a positive place. The video is quite neutral actually, but you don’t go out and film garbage or poverty in Africa.. you know that it’s there, but the video is not about that 😅 cheers and love from the family!
The new home of p diddy
And what about a poverty of local people there? This island is only a tourist paradise..
That’s true and tourism is the biggest source of income.. you have the big companies like TUI, but like us, I recommend supporting the locals! Like our local rental company, the hotels where the locals work and exploring the island. 😀👍🏻
That’s true and tourism is the biggest source of income.. you have the big companies like TUI, but like us, I recommend supporting the locals! Like our local rental company, the hotels where the locals work, we use all local stores and restaurants and explore the entire island. 😀👍🏻
There’s poverty in most of the world.
Looks pretty bleak TBH. Like a Canarian volcanic rock island, with less development. I expected a little more green vegetation. Will give it a miss.
It does look a lot like the Canary Islands! Some other islands are greener. This island had particularly good beaches and places for wind surfing.
I'am getting married here✅️
Congratz! All the best to you guys ❤️🤙🏻
@@WoutoftheWorld 🙏🏿
Lol with a English voice
Looks like a shitty version of Fuerteventura 😬 Black Panther lied to me.
Haha it is actually a bit more adventurous than Fuerteventura. However, Fuerteventura is indeed incredible 😜❤️
Cape Verde is NOT africa !!!!! It is Cape Verde !!!!
Hi Chris, do you have a reason for that? Because it is an African country, just not on the mainland right? 😅
@@WoutoftheWorld yes. Cape Verde Islands are 500 km in Front of Senegal in middle of thecatlantic ocean.. these islands have nothing to do with Africa . They are an independent republic with their own government .!☝😄
It is based on Portugal. Since 1995. they are independent . Before that, Cape Verde was a former colony of Portugal. ☝☝
I always stay in Sal from November until may 😎
@@christianlaewe5895 I don't know where you learned that but you were very wrong
It’s not on the mainland but it’s definitely a part of the African continent!!
@@christianlaewe5895 it seems like you missed the part that Africa is a continent. Every country in Africa has their own government right? I appreciate when somebody corrects me when I’m wrong, but I simply don’t get it 😅 Cape Verde is Africa as much as all other 53 African countries.. let’s just leave it at that 😁👍🏻
