The winter months in Cape Verde are the peak season for visitors. The most popular time to visit is from the end of October through to May. If you are planning to island hop then it is a good idea to book your domestic travel and your accommodation as early as possible. It appears that the internal flight schedules are now being published further in advance than was the case. However, once they are available, they do get booked up quickly. For people who prefer to do everything at the last minute, this is could be problematic.
If you find the domestic CVSky flights are booked up on the dates you want, you may consider trying a ferry, by visiting CVInterihas the ferry operators. There is information on both internal flights and ferries on our domestic travel page. International flights are available to Boa Vista, Sal, Santiago (Praia) and São Vicente. From those islands you can then connect to the other islands where there is no international airport.
If you would like to have a full holiday arranged for you including international travel, then our Holiday Team could assist you. Why not escape the cold next winter and spend some time in sunny warm Cape Verde?
