5 Nights – Sal
Optional Day Trips to Santo Antao, Santa Luzia & Fago
UK – Santiago: We’ll fly you from the UK to Santiago, and transfer you to your first hotel, where you will spend 2 nights.
Santiago is Cape Verde’s largest island, and home to more than half of all Cape Verdeans. It’s capital Praia is a bustling African town, where you can enjoy the island’s nightlife and explore Santiago’s vibrant culture. Old colonial buildings line the main square, and there’s a Presidential Palace and Palace of Justice that are worth visiting.
Santiago – Sao Vincente: After Santiago, we’ll transfer you back to the airport for a flight to Sao Vincente, and then transfer you to your next hotel where you’ll spend 3 nights.
As well as the island’s great beaches, Sao Vicente’s is known for its capital Mindelo, which is a lively place, with many shops and restaurants. The nightlife is great too, with many bars playing offering live music in to the early hours. It’s also the cultural hub of the islands, with plenty of opportunities to explore the island’s art, textile and music scenes.
From here, you can also take boat trips to the uninhabited island of Santa Luzia, or visit Santo Antao which boasts stunning views across its mountain range, and you can visit the village of Fontainhas, perched on the edge of rock, above a deep ravine – breath-taking!
Sao Vincente – Boa Vista: Next we’ll transfer you back to the airport for your flight to Boa Vista. Again we’ll be waiting for you to transfer you to your next hotel, for your 4-night stay.
After a busy few days, Boa Vista is the perfect next stop. This peaceful island offers some of the most breath-taking beaches in the region. If you can tear yourself away from the beach though, Boa Vista is also renowned for its marine life, so a snorkelling or diving trip is worth considering, or for some adrenaline fuelled fun, take a quad bike adventure across the desert.
Boa Vista – Sal: After Boa Vista we’ll transfer you from your hotel back to the airport, for your onward flight to Sal. Then transfer you to your final hotel for your last 5 nights.
You’ll have plenty of time on Sal to explore its capital Santa Maria, whilst still having enough time to enjoy the stunning beaches. If you get chance, we’d highly recommend a visit to the Salt Carter, and another great thing to do is take one of the horse riding tours.
From Sal, you can also take a day trip to Fago, famous for its active volcano and it’s pretty capital São Filipe, with its Portuguese squares, cobbled streets and pastel houses.
Sal – UK: When your holiday comes to an end, we’ll transfer you back to the airport for your flight home.

We contacted eShores having visited the website to discuss a tailor made holiday to the Sporades islands. We spoke to one of the Travel Consultants, Kadie Ryan, who was friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. We received a quote shortly following our conversation and with Kadie's help were able to book our holiday with ease the next day. We are very happy with our experience booking this holiday.

Fantastic Holiday. Just returned from a great South African holiday, Cape Town 3 nights, Pilanesberg Safari 3 nights and a week in Zanzibar. Big thanks to Chris again, his knowledge helped organise and plan this vacation. This is the second long haul holiday he has booked for us. Each holiday has been faultless even though we have changed the itinerary to suit . The Safari he recommended on this trip, Ivory Tree in Pilanesberg was 5 STAR and made the holiday, another tick on the bucket list. Eshores customer service is second to none. I recommended this company to my daughter who is presently on a Canadian fly drive with them and is thoroughly enjoying it. Based on previous experience Chris has now helped us book Australia, Hong Kong & Dubai for next February, can’t wait. All their trips are good value for money, would not have any hesitation in recommending them.

Gavin truly understands what we like but isn't worried about suggesting new countries or places of interest. All his suggestions have been spot on and enriched our holidays, he is a pleasure to work with. We look forward to many more adventures.

Very happy with what we booked, ( we asked for a trip/experience to Egypt), and Rachel put something together and within the budget we asked for. Once we reviewed it, we tweaked it several times for what we wanted in parts and Rachel did the rest. Very personable and pleasant to deal with. I think we will be looking at other experience holidays through E Shore in the future rather than your standard package holiday.

Booked with eshores last year. Holiday was excellent and everything ran smoothly. We had one problem with one of the transfers in which we missed the plane and had to pay for the next flight but that was sorted and refunded when we returned home. Booked with them again for next year. Matt has been extremely helpful (and patient. We are a nightmare). Eshores are very competetive and I would not hesitate in recommending them and I hope to be using them for years to come.
