A boat trip visits Monte Graciosa and the Ponta Preta lighthouse, then you snorkel at Agudoal while the team prepares a barbecue on the beach. Late afternoon is the return to your stay after time on Tarrafal Beach. 📌 Key Details Duration: 8 hours Group size: 1 to 10 guests Location: Tarrafal, Santiago 🚤 What to Expect Pickup from your accommodation in Praia starts a mountain drive north, with a photo stop in Assomada to stretch before Tarrafal Bay. In Tarrafal the first activity is a boat trip toward Monte Graciosa and the Ponta Preta lighthouse, looking across volcanic cliffs and local fishing boats. Bring the boat trip ticket fee, because that charge is not part of the booking price. Agudoal is the snorkel stop, with kit included, while the team prepares a barbecue on the beach. The snorkel is an easy taster, not a dive course, and lunch is ready when you come out of the water. After the meal there is time on Tarrafal Beach, a pale-sand shore with clear water, hills and coconut palms, before the late-afternoon drive back through the valleys to Praia. 📍 Location Tarrafal Bay sits on Santiago after the morning drive north from Praia. The boat portion looks toward Monte Graciosa and the Ponta Preta lighthouse, with volcanic cliffs and local fishing boats part of the same shoreline. Agudoal is the snorkel stop before beach time. Tarrafal Beach is a pale-sand shore with clear water, hills and coconut palms. Hotel pickup starts in Praia, which is also where we return you in the late afternoon. You stay on Santiago for the whole eight hours. ✅ Prerequisites Adults from 12 years old book the usual place, while infant places cover ages 0 to 2 and child places cover ages 3 to 11. The day is rated easy and is a taster rather than a dive course, so you do not need a snorkel certificate. You should be happy on a boat, willing to try a mask in the sea at Agudoal, and ready for a full eight-hour outing that includes a mountain drive. Bring sandals, a towel, a hat, swimwear, sunscreen and the boat trip ticket fee. If anyone in your party is unsure in the water, say so at the snorkel stop so the team can brief them calmly. 💛 Why Choose Us Shared and private departures both include hotel pickup and drop-off from Praia, the lighthouse boat trip, a snorkel stop and a beach barbecue, so you are not juggling separate transfers.

Hotel pickup and drop-off from Praia, the drive with a photo stop in Assomada, the lighthouse boat trip, snorkel kit at Agudoal, a barbecue lunch and afternoon time on Tarrafal Beach are included. You should still bring the boat trip ticket fee, because that fee is not part of the booking price. Sandals, a towel, a hat, swimwear and sunscreen are also your responsibility. Shared and private rates appear at checkout, along with adult, child and infant places. The group stays between one and ten guests. ### What is the boat trip ticket fee? Please bring a boat trip ticket fee on the day. That fee is not included in the booking price, so budget for it separately from the display price you see when you reserve. We will confirm practical details after you book so you know how the fee is collected. Do not assume it is already paid just because pickup and the barbecue are included. Keep a little cash or the requested payment method handy for the boat portion. ### I have never snorkelled. Is that a problem? The snorkel at Agudoal is an easy taster with kit included, not a dive course. First-timers can join if they are willing to put on a mask in calm water while the barbecue is being prepared. There is no certificate and no tank. If you are unsure in the sea, stay close to the team and say so before you swim. Guests who prefer to skip the water can still enjoy the boat trip, the lunch and Tarrafal Beach. ### Can young children come? Infant places for ages 0 to 2 and child places for ages 3 to 11 are offered when you book, alongside adult places from 12 years old. The day is easy in grade, with a boat ride, a beach barbecue and time on the sand. Parents should plan shade, snacks beyond the barbecue if needed, and close supervision on the boat. The outing lasts about eight hours including the drive from Praia, which is a long day for a very young child. Bring sandals, a towel, swimwear, sunscreen and the boat ticket fee for the family. ### Where do you collect us? Pickup is from your accommodation in Praia, and drop-off returns you there in the late afternoon. The activity day itself is in Tarrafal Bay on Santiago, reached by a mountain drive with a stop in Assomada. Share your Praia hotel or address when you book. Flights and inter-island travel to your hotel are not included. Stay on Santiago the night before if you can, so the morning collection is straightforward. ### How big is the group? Groups stay between one and ten guests. You can book a shared group tour or a private tour when you reserve, depending on how many people you want around you on the boat and at the barbecue. A private booking suits families or friends who want the lighthouse run to themselves. Shared departures are the usual way to join if you are a solo traveller or a pair. The itinerary stays the same either way. ### What should I pack? Bring sandals or flip-flops, a towel, a hat, swimwear, sunscreen and the boat trip ticket fee. Those items are your responsibility on the day. Snorkel kit is provided at Agudoal, and the barbecue lunch is included. Extra drinks and snacks beyond that lunch are not included. A light cover-up helps on the boat and during the Assomada stop. ### What if the weather or sea state is poor? The boat trip and the snorkel need good conditions. Strong wind or rough water around Ponta Preta and Agudoal can change the plan, and we will contact you if the day cannot run as described. Keep your phone on the evening before and the morning of pickup, because a sea call can come late. ### Is the barbecue lunch included? Yes. The team prepares a barbecue on the beach while you snorkel at Agudoal, and that lunch is part of the day. Extra drinks and snacks beyond the barbecue are not included. If you have a dietary need, tell us when you book so we can say what is possible. Do not assume a full custom menu unless we confirm it. Eat a light breakfast in Praia, because the drive and boat come before lunch. ### How long is the return to Praia? The whole outing is about eight hours, and the late-afternoon return to your accommodation in Praia is included. The exact drive time depends on traffic through the mountains and the stop pattern on the way back. Do not book a tight evening flight out of Praia on the same day unless you have a wide margin. Sunset light on the valleys is part of the drive home, and we will not rush the boat or the barbecue to chase a short connection. ### How do cancellations work? Cancel 2 days or less before the Tarrafal lighthouse day and the cancellation fee is 100%. Cancel 6 days or less before and it is 50%. Cancel up to 1000 days before the event and the fee is 0%. Tell us quickly if you need another Praia collection, so we can check a later boat and barbecue date. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/18c3b043-28f4-4968-91ce-b1ce3c22d947-2-scaled.jpeg - **Gallery image count**: 6 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
