Ferry

The guide was updated:
It is possible to travel between most islands by ferry, but schedules tend to be unreliable and can often be delayed or cancelled due to stormy weather (particularly during the winter months). The most reliable connections are between Santiago, Brava and Fogo, as well as between São Vicente and Santo Antão.

Airports

Cape Verde has four international airports: - Amílcar Cabral International Airport (SID) on Sal, Cape Verde’s main airport; - Nelson Mandela International Airport (RAI) on Santiago; - Aristides Pereira International Airport (BVC) on Boa Vista; - Cesária Évora International Airport (VXE) on São Vicente. Many hotels can arrange a pickup service from the airport, and taxis are readily available at all terminals. A cheaper option is to take an 'aluguer', a kind of shared taxi, though this can be less convenient as they follow fixed routes.
