Cape Verde Tours

Out in the Atlantic, Cape Verde is all volcanic peaks, trade winds and beaches. Stretch out on the sands of Sal and Boa Vista, hike the crater of Fogo or catch live morna in Mindelo. Island-hopping and beach packages keep it simple.

Cape Verde tours split their time between beach islands and mountain islands, connected by short internal flights and ferries. Ten islands make up the archipelago, about 570 kilometers off the Senegalese coast, and each has a distinct character.

Which Island Does What

Santiago carries the history, including Cidade Velha, the first European colonial settlement in the tropics and a UNESCO site. Santo Antão is the hiking island, its cobbled ribeira trails cut into deep green valleys, while São Vicente supplies the music bars and harbor cafes of Mindelo.

Practical Rhythms

November to June is dry, with steady trade winds that also make Sal a windsurfing base. Flights between islands take under an hour, though schedules are thin, so tours build in buffer time. Grogue, the local sugarcane spirit, appears at most farewell dinners.
