About Us

This island is not just where we work. It's where we belong.
Nilson

Nilson Gomes

Born on the dramatic island of Santo Antão, Nilson came to Boa Vista over seven years ago and never looked back. Drawn by the island's extraordinary beauty and the opportunity to share it with the world, he built Private Boa Vista Tours from the ground up — one guest, one journey at a time.
Quiet at first, Nilson is the kind of guide who earns your trust before he earns your attention. Once he knows you, you'll quickly discover a warmth, a knowledge, and a passion for this island that is entirely his own. He speaks Kriolu, Portuguese, English, French, Spanish, and Italian — because connection should never be lost in translation.
His vision is simple: to give every guest an experience of Boa Vista that feels truly private, personal, and unforgettable — and to keep growing, so more people can have it.

Our Values

Everything we do is guided by four principles — the same ones Nilson carried with him from Santo Antão, and the ones that shape every journey we take together.

Authenticity

We are Cape Verdean through and through. Our warmth, our knowledge, and our pride in this island are not a service — they are who we are.

Exclusivity

Every tour, every transfer, every moment — reserved entirely for you. No shared vehicles, no strangers, no compromise on your experience.

Excellence

From the first message to the final drop-off, every detail is handled with care. We don't do average — we do unforgettable.

Nature

Boa Vista's landscapes are irreplaceable. We move through them with respect, share them with pride, and protect them for the guests who come after you.

Don't take our word for it. Here's what travellers from around the world say about their time with us in Boa Vista.
