OperatorDiscover Sal Tours, a local team based in Santa Maria, Sal Island, Cape Verde.

A Private Airport Transfer Sal Island with Discover Sal Tours starts the moment you land at Amílcar Cabral International Airport (SID), not the moment you find a taxi. Your driver is already waiting inside the arrivals hall with your name on a sign. Twenty minutes later you are at your hotel, apartment or villa in Santa Maria.

Several flights often land at Sal within the same hour, and the taxi rank fills quickly. With a private transfer you skip that queue. You book the whole car for your group only, at a price agreed before you fly. No haggling, no meter, no shared stops at other hotels.

We are a local team based in Santa Maria. We drive this road every day, we know which resort entrance is which, and we answer on WhatsApp when your plans change.

Built around real flights, not fixed timetables

Flights into Sal run late on almost every route. We track your flight number in real time, so if your plane lands an hour late, your driver arrives an hour later. You never land to find nobody there, and you never pay for a delay that was not your fault.

If your flight arrives early, we see that too. Your driver will be in the arrivals hall when you walk out.

Hotel to Sal airport departures

For departures, we collect you from your hotel, apartment or Airbnb anywhere in Santa Maria, Dunas, Murdeira, Espargos or Palmeira. We time the pickup so you reach Sal airport about 2 hours before your flight. That is early enough for check-in and security, and not so early that you wait at the gate all afternoon.
