Cape Verde

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Cape Verde is an archipelago of ten volcanic islands situated in the Atlantic Ocean, roughly 570 kilometres off the west coast of Africa. The islands are known for their dramatic landscapes — ranging from the towering peaks of Santo Antão and the active volcano on Fogo to the sweeping golden dunes of Boa Vista and Sal. Consistent trade winds make Cape Verde one of the world's top destinations for windsurfing and kitesurfing, while its warm, clear waters attract divers and snorkellers year-round. Beyond the outdoor pursuits, travellers are drawn to the islands' vibrant Creole culture, the soulful sounds of morna music, and a laid-back atmosphere that blends Portuguese and West African influences.

Self-Launched Cape Verde Island-Hopping: Sal, São Vicente & Santo Antão in 14 Days

A self-launched 14-day Cape Verde island-hopping route covering Sal, São Vicente and Santo Antão — the same three islands as BuCountry Tours' guided expedition, but booked independently. Take domestic flights and the inter-island ferry, sleep in guesthouses and boutique budget hotels, join small-group day tours for the big hikes and snorkelling, and walk the rest yourself. Realistic backpacker costs land around £1,000-1,200 per person (excluding international flights to Cape Verde), a fraction of the ~£1,750 guided tour price. All costs are approximate and per person.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Cape Verde yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Eat the strangest thing on the menu every single day for a week and document the regret."
