I'm thinking of coming to Cape Verde to visit some islands, perhaps in December. I'd like to do some tours- as a solo traveller I like to join in on tours with others. Are your tours group tours like this, where random travellers come together on trips? Also, not sure whether to do a set trip- maybe 7 days, or if it's possible to just do day trips on the various islands with you? I enjoy nature, local culture, beach, horse riding- any particular tours or islands you would recommend?

Thank you very much for contacting us to plan your trip through the beautiful islands lost on the atlantic. As local specialists, it is our pleasure to have your travel plans in our hands and we will be happy to customise your trip to suit your needs. There are no daily domestic flights between all the islands in the archipelago. In order to provide you with options that suit your budget and ensure the best holiday experience, please let us know your approximate budget for the trip.
