How Much Does a Trip to the Bijagos Islands Cost? (Real 2026 Price)

The Bijagos Islands rarely show up in mainstream travel budgeting guides, which makes pricing hard to pin down. For our own "Bijagós Selvagem — Guiné-Bissau em Estado Puro" circuit, though, the answer is exact: €3,000 per person, all-inclusive, for a 12-day, 11-night journey through one of the last genuinely wild archipelagos left on the planet.

What the €3,000 Actually Covers
Unlike many circuits that price the flight separately, this rate already includes everything you need:

- Round-trip TAP flight Lisbon-Bissau-Lisbon, with 23kg checked baggage and airport taxes included
- An agency guide with you for the entire circuit
- Full board (drinks not included)
- Every activity and excursion on the 12-day itinerary
- All transfers, including inter-island boats (Bubaque, Caravela, Orango, Poilão, João Vieira, Karache)
- Accommodation in hotels, guesthouses, and tents, depending on the island

There's no single-room supplement, and a €1,500 deposit secures your spot. It's a small-group trip, 6 to 10 travelers, which keeps the experience personal but also means limited availability.

Why This Price Makes Sense
Other operators running similar circuits in the Bijagos typically charge €2,585-€2,650 for the land package alone, with the Lisbon-Bissau flight (€350-€850) billed separately — putting their real total around what Vamos Fugir charges as one all-in figure. Vamos Fugir's "Bijagós Selvagem" lands in the same market range, or below it, once you add up the true total cost of a comparable trip elsewhere — but with everything bundled into a single, fixed price and no post-booking surprises.

That cost reflects the real logistics of the archipelago: moving a group between remote islands requires boats, specialized local guides, and lodging with genuinely limited capacity. There's no mass tourism here, and no resorts with hundreds of rooms.

What Isn't Included
Outside the package, you'll need to budget for personal extras: drinks with meals, travel insurance, the yellow fever vaccination, and the Guinea-Bissau entry visa (we cover both of the latter in detail in our visa and documents article).

Booking With Confidence
- Spots are capped at 10 travelers per departure — book ahead, especially if you're aiming for the turtle nesting window (August to November)
- The €1,500 deposit secures your place in the group
- Get in touch to confirm the next available departure dates

At Vamos Fugir, "Bijagós Selvagem" was built so that anyone dreaming of this archipelago doesn't have to worry about flights, boats, or logistics — only about living the experience.
