    I would like to participate in the tour: Best of Fogo Island: Hiking & Exploring, 4 days 3 nights. I am staying in Sal and will also fly back via Sal. I am unable to find a trip from Sal to Fogo and return via the internet.

      Regarding transport to Fogo, we are happy to inform that we can provide assistance to ensure a smooth and enjoyable travelling experience. To proceed with the details on return transport, please provide us with information on the dates you intend to travel to Fogo so that we can check availability.

    • BuCountry ToursOperator•Written November 2023

      Unfortunately there is no direct flight from Sal to Fogo. To explain better, we use Santiago island (Praia) as the hub of the country. So, the flights are short of 30 min, to reach Fogo you need to land in Praia first and later take another flight to Fogo Island.

      Traveler•Written November 2023

      I am thinking about adjusting my travel plan and making my holiday more of a tour by going island hopping independently by boat. So I would like to know whether the original tour from December 1 to December 4 is final?

    • BuCountry ToursOperator•Written November 2023

      Ferry are constantly cancelled and it is not a pleasant trip especially if the sea is rough. A trip from Sal to Fogo would take at least 2 days, as you must from Sal To Boa Vista (4 Hours) after that take a 6 hours trip to Santiago. Next the last 4 hours trip to Fogo, you will need at least a free day in Fogo first to recover. There is no direct ferries from Sal to Fogo.

      It sounds too complicated. So I think it's better I do not travel to Fogo. I will look for another island and another trip. Maybe go to Sao Vicente and Santa Antao.
