Is it right for your family?
A mix of culture and various optional activities such as quad-biking, windsurfing, kite-surfing... Accommodation is in good, mid-range hotels but bear in mind that tourism is very new to the islands, so lower your expectations. We use internal flights to move from island to island, which can be subject to delay.

You can&
Get totally off the beaten track Enjoy the warmth of the tropics Try windsurfing, sailing, snorkelling See volcanoes, markets Set in the mid-Atlantic some 460 kilometres off the coast of West Africa, the beauty of these unique islands hides a turbulent past, with many a tale of ship-wrecks, the slave trade, battles between Portuguese and Spanish galleons and opportunist pirates. First explore the island of Sal, its salt flats and Santa Maria market. Then Sao Vicente, known for its music and water-sports. To the south lies Santiago, where verdant valleys nestle between craggy mountains and beautiful beaches.
