What to expect

For a truly celestial holiday experience, it's hard to beat this evening dinner in Boa Vista's Viana desert. We'll pick you at your hotel and bring you to the middle of nowhere, far away from light pollution, for an unrivalled view of the Milky Way in its full glory. With the ever-changing moon phases, this is sure to be a unique experience at any time of the year.

On arrival at the Viana Club, you'll be handed a welcome drink before listening in to a briefing on what to expect of the evening. Dinner will then be ready - a buffet of traditional Cape Verdean dishes for you to feast on.

And after eating, there's another treat - you'll head outside for an exhilarating view of the heavens. Gaze into the stars and planets with your naked eyes and with the help of telescopes – it's simply amazing. The kids are also well looked after as there are some gravity-centred activities for them to take part in.

    Despite a relatively cloudy night we managed to get an amazing photo of the moon through the telescope. The food was nice and the price of the cocktails were reasonable as well being cheaper than the UK at around 9€ each with good quality whilst the usual type still amazing and the guide was extremely good and funny

    Little to do as it was cloudy, guide did talk us through a lot without having the stars to look at for a large part.
