Overview

You can learn a lot about Cape Verde from what is on the table. These 8 nights are built around markets, cellar visits and a hands-on cooking class across Sal · Boa Vista · São Vicente, with Santa Maria beaches, Sal and Boa Vista dunes & turtle nesting in between so it is a proper trip and not just a long lunch. From ₹2,18,999 per person.

Nov – Jun is the sweet spot for Cape Verde (Africa), and we plan departures from Surat around it — flights via Mumbai or Ahmedabad, 4★ boutique & agriturismo hotels locked in writing, and this itinerary from ₹2,18,999 per person on twin sharing.

Explera's Surat desk runs the whole journey end to end — flights, stays, transfers, guided sightseeing, Cape Verde visa assistance and insurance — with a written day-by-day plan before you pay and a human on call 24/7 while you travel. Every departure is fully customisable to your dates, budget and travellers.

Our trip with friends to Sal was better than the photos. The team suggested the perfect hotels and the 9-day route was neither rushed nor lazy. Priced fairly with no surprises at the end.
