The experience

The crawl starts with pickup at your hotel around 6pm and moves through Sal Rei on foot, stopping at places locals actually go: a rooftop bar at the Ouril Hotel, Cremositos, a reggae bar, Nauas, a churrasqueira and others. At each bar you get a welcome shot and a chance to try local spirits with your guide, who knows the neighborhood and can explain what you're drinking and why people gather where they do.

Dinner happens at a local Cape Verdean restaurant partway through the evening, so you're eating the food people in Sal Rei eat, not a tourist version of it. The crawl wraps up at Morabeza beach bar, and you can head back to your hotel whenever you're ready. There's no fixed end time. Your guide takes photos during the night and shares them with you afterward.

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided in?

Live guide in English, Portuguese and Dutch.

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

What's the real difference between this and just bar-hopping on my own in Boa Vista?

A local guide takes you to six bars where tourists don't normally turn up, which means you're not walking into the same places everyone else finds online. The guide also orders for you, explains what you're tasting, and knows the people running each place: that access and context is what you're paying for.

Is the dinner a full meal or just a snack between bars?

It's a local Cape Verdean dinner included in the price, eaten at a local restaurant during the crawl. Beyond that meal and the shot at each bar, any other food or drinks are on you.

What time does this actually end, and how do I get back to my hotel?

The crawl finishes at Morabeza beach bar, and you return to your hotel whenever you want. There's no set cutoff. Your guide brings you back as part of the booking, so you don't need to arrange separate transport home.

What makes Morabeza beach bar the finish instead of just another stop?

Morabeza means hospitality in Cape Verdean culture, and the beach bar is where locals and visitors mix in the evening. It's the natural end point because it's where the night opens up. You can stay as long as you want once you're there.
