Traveling to and Around Sal Island: Private Transfers & Inter-Island Travel (2026)
Navigating your way to Sal Island and exploring the rest of the Cape Verdean archipelago requires professional planning. Whether you are looking for a seamless arrival at your hotel or planning to hop between islands to discover our diverse culture, here is the official guide to your transport options.
1. Private Airport & Hotel Transfers
The most reliable and comfortable way to start your holiday in Sal is through a pre-booked private transfer.
- Seamless Arrival: Upon landing at Amílcar Cabral International Airport (SID), a professional driver will be waiting for you at the arrivals hall with a personalized sign. No waiting in lines or navigating complex logistics.
- Comfort & Professionalism: Our transfers utilize modern, air-conditioned vehicles, providing ample space for your luggage and any specialized sports equipment (such as kiteboarding or surfing gear).
- Sal Experiences Advantage: We offer door-to-door service to any hotel, resort, or private apartment in Santa Maria, Espargos, or Murdeira. We monitor your flight in real-time to ensure your driver is there exactly when you arrive, regardless of delays.
2. Inter-Island Travel: Domestic Flights
To visit other islands such as Fogo, Santiago, or São Vicente, flying is the fastest and most efficient method.
- Official Carrier: Domestic and international connections are primarily operated by TACV – Cabo Verde Airlines.
- Official Website: www.caboverdeairlines.com
- Booking in Advance: We strongly recommend booking your inter-island flights at least 3–4 weeks in advance, as planes are small and seats sell out quickly, especially during local festivals or high season.
3. Inter-Island Travel: Ferry Services
For travelers who prefer the sea or are moving between neighboring islands, ferry services are an alternative.
- Official Operator: CV Interilhas manages the maritime connections across the archipelago.
- Official Website: www.cvinterilhas.cv
- The Sal Connection: From the port of Palmeira in Sal, you can find connections to islands like Boavista, São Nicolau, and Santiago.
- Flexibility Required: Sea travel in the Atlantic depends heavily on ocean conditions. Ferry schedules can change with little notice, so it is essential to stay updated via the official operator’s website.
