Getting Around in Cape Verde

To start off, we need to assess how easy it is to travel around the Cape Verde islands. Outside of walking to your destination, there are three main ways that holiday goers choose to travel the islands:

• Taxis – A perfect option for shorter journeys, taxis are available in all main resorts on the Cape Verde islands. The only downfall of this travel option is the “flexible” pricing that comes with taxi metres.
• Bus services – The most budget friendly option on the list, local buses are easily accessible and run until approximately 7:30pm. Simple shout the driver when you want to get off!
• Interisland travel – If you’re wanting to travel between the different islands in the Cape Verde archipelago, interisland travel options are available on a schedule. This includes both flights and ferry services, dependent on where you are staying.
