Fly into Cesaria Evora International Airport (VXE) on Sao Vicente and transfer by arranged pickup or licensed taxi to Mindelo. Route and airline availability change, so confirm a dated ticket rather than assuming daily international or domestic flights. Haliotis lists its dive center at Hotel Oasis Porto Grande in central Mindelo with marina departures. If based in Porto Novo on Santo Antao, continue by an actual booked Mindelo to Porto Novo passenger ferry. Santo Antao has no functioning commercial airport, and rough seas can affect the crossing. A Santo Antao Haliotis dive charter is an activity itinerary, not a substitute for confirmed ferry or port arrangements. Sao Vicente airport; Mindelo dive base; Ferry timetable.
In Mindelo, taxis and locally arranged transfers connect the airport, marina, beaches and accommodation. A confirmed boat operator, not a rented vehicle, is the normal access route for listed scuba sites.
