11 DAYS & 10 NIGHTS

Journey Overview

This 9-day journey island-hops across three faces of Cabo Verde — the sun-bleached beaches of Sal, the bohemian port city of Mindelo on São Vicente, and the volcanic highlands of Santo Antão. Guests explore fishing villages, snorkel with sea turtles and lemon sharks, float in a dormant volcano's salt pan, and drive through Santo Antão's dramatic crater roads and terraced valleys, before returning to Sal for catamaran sailing, live music, and open beach days.

A full day tracing Murdeira's nature reserve, Palmeira's fishing village, the mesmerizing Blue Eye pool at Buracona, and an up-close encounter with lemon sharks at Shark Bay.

Journey Highlights

Explore Mindelo's colonial streets, fish markets, and Cesária Évora's legacy, then climb into Monte Verde Natural Park for lunar landscapes and a local tea tasting.

At Pedra de Lume, drift weightless in the mineral-rich waters of a salt pan nestled inside a dormant volcanic crater.

Santa Maria by Night

A three-course Cabo Verdean dinner under the stars, with live morna and coladeira music and dancing until the night winds down.

A free day in Santa Maria to watch fishermen haul in the day's catch at the Pontão, wander the Shell Cemetery coastline, and settle into the island's "No Stress" rhythm.
