Which agency to organize hikes between Santo Antão and São Nicolau?

Hi there, I’m trying to leave for 15 days very soon to São Vicente. I’m either looking to join an agency or figure things out on my own to go hiking on one of these islands or both. From what I’ve seen, it’s not easy to organize with local transport, so it gets expensive. Can I use the services of a small local agency? I’m looking for the simplest way to hike for several days. Also, how do you get from São Vicente to São Nicolau? Thanks in advance and have a great day! Aichatou

Hi Kris, To get from São Vicente to São Nicolau, it's either by plane or ferry. For flights, there aren't many, and there will be a change of airline on March 28th. Currently, it's still Cabo Verde Airlines, but after that, it'll be CV SKY (check their schedules on their websites). By ferry, it's the CV Interilhas company, but again, there aren't many, and they're not regular. Plus, lately, the sea has been rough, so there are cancellations, and São Nicolau is usually one of the first islands to be affected by changes. If you've got plenty of time and not too many commitments, it might be worth a try.

For international flights: in winter, Transavia, or otherwise Cabo Verde Airlines from Paris. There's also easyJet from Lisbon, or TAP via Lisbon.
