The quay at Maio’s harbour hums with small boats and the low voices of fishermen; sunlight slides along whitewashed houses as a driver waits with the doors open and a small, clean vehicle idling. A private transfer here is less about speed and more about easing you into the island’s pace: short, practical rides across coral-tinged roads that thread salt flats and scattered acacia trees toward Morro or Vila do Maio.
