Sport & Activities
Hiking: The islands’ spectacular scenery is ideal for hiking. The volcanic island of Fogo offers good hikes with excellent views, while the scenery on Santo Antão is particularly lush. Ribeira Grande Mountain on Santo Antão takes a day to climb but is well worth the effort. It is advisable to take a guide. There are also excellent walks on Brava and São Vicente. Birdwatching trips can be arranged.
Watersports: Sailing charters can be arranged, depending on time, weather and number of passengers. Diving is gaining in popularity. There are several dive centres, mainly on the islands of Sal and Boavista, with qualified personnel and equipment. Water temperatures are good all year round, though the seas can be rough. Some boats and equipment are available for fishing. Visitors could consider taking their own equipment.
Live music: There is no shortage of live Cape Verdean music played in bars and clubs. Local musicians may hope to follow in the footsteps of their internationally known compatriots such as Cesaria Evora. Music is an integral part of daily life in the islands.
