Our story

Born from the dream of sharing Cape Verde with the world

Founded more than 20 years ago on the island of Sal, Cape Verde, ZY Tours was born from the dream of sharing the natural, cultural and human beauty of this unique archipelago with the world. With roots deeply tied to the land and the local community, we have become a reference in tours and transfer services, known for our reliability, warmth and excellent service.

Over the last two decades we have closely followed the growth of tourism in Cape Verde, always committed to offering authentic, safe and memorable experiences. More than transporting people, we believe in connecting stories, cultures and emotions, promoting responsible and enriching tourism.

With an experienced, passionate and multilingual team, we provide a complete service — from airport transfers to tailor-made tours of every landmark on Sal: from the healing waters of the Pedra de Lume salt pans to the mystique of Buracona and its famous “Blue Eye”, and the golden beaches of Santa Maria.

We believe every visitor deserves more than a trip — they deserve a transformative experience, built with empathy, comfort and attention to every detail. That is why we keep growing with our feet in the Cape Verdean sand and our eyes on the future, with the same passion as when it all began.
