    • Destination Services PortugalOperator•Written January 2026

      Unfortunately, we are not able to prepare ad hoc or fully tailor-made quotations or include flights, nor design custom itineraries outside of the programs currently published on our platform. For this reason, we cannot create a bespoke proposal covering multiple islands, specific activities, or customized services as outlined in your message. What we can assist with is reviewing availability and pricing to extend or add extra nights to one of our existing published programs, maintaining the same structure, services, and inclusions already defined in the offer.

    Would you mind letting us know if there are any departures during this time that may have enough availability for 10 people, please? Also, we'd like to request more information on what Day 1 will look like. The summary states travellers will be transported to Mindelo from Sao Vicente International Airport. Can we ask how they will be transferred?

    Asked on November 12th, 2023

    We have 2 nights there and have booked a flight to Santiago on 4/12/23. We are free until our flight home on 16/12/23 from Sal. We are interested in: - Trip to Fogo to walk up the volcano, 7 days. - Sao Vincente & Santo Antao 5 days. Would you be able to arrange a flight back to Sal on 15/12/23 for our flight home on 16/12/23? I understands we may be short of time to do both. Would it be possible to shorted the 1st trip for us to that we can do both?

      Unfortunately we don't manage flights and it is not possible to offer you. You will book directly and we can offer you the tour as detailed in Tourradar. It is possible to extend some nights at the accommodation on request if you are interested on this. Of course we will send our proposal with the extra nights that you need it.
