Privately-guided trips on Santiago and Sal — boutique stays, born-and-raised local guides, and 24/7 support the whole way. A focused week or an unhurried two. For about half what the big tour companies charge.
Santiago, Sal, or both — each as a focused week or an unhurried fortnight. Privately guided, flights excluded (we'll help you book them), priced to undercut the big names.
The island where Cape Verde began — history, mountains and Creole soul.
Turquoise water, a volcano you float in, and the country's best beach.
Both islands, one trip — Santiago's roots and mountains, then Sal's turquoise shore.
The big operators quote $3,500–$4,000 for Cape Verde. We run the same privately-guided idea for about half — by working directly with our own people in Santiago and Sal.
Every touring day is led by a born-and-raised guide who actually lives there. Kriolu, Português, English — and the corners that never make the guidebook.
Someone on the ground you can reach at any hour. If a flight moves or plans wobble, we've usually fixed it before it's even your problem.
International airfare isn't included — you'll get the best fare booking your own — but we'll help you find the right flights, and we handle the inter-island hop.
Message us on WhatsApp or book a free 20-minute consult. We learn your pace, taste and budget.
We send a day-by-day itinerary for Santiago, Sal or both — a focused week or an unhurried two — adjusted until it's yours.
Confirm with a 25% deposit. We book the stays, guides, transfers and the inter-island flight, and help you sort your international flights.
Land in Cape Verde. Your local guide is waiting, and we're a text away the entire trip.
“Cidade Velha with a guide whose grandmother grew up there. You can't Google that.”
“Half the price I was quoted elsewhere and somehow more personal. Floated in a volcano. Unreal.”
“Our flight got shifted and they'd already rearranged everything before we landed. The 24/7 thing is real.”
Tell us your dates and we'll send a curated plan within 48 hours. No pressure, no call-centre — just us and the islands.
