What is the best way to explore the Bijagós Archipelago?

The best way to explore the 88 islands of the Bijagós Archipelago is by boat. You can hire private pirogues or join organized tours from Bissau or Bubaque Island, which is the most developed island and a good base. It's crucial to plan ahead, as transport can be irregular, and always travel with a local guide who understands the tides and the sacred customs of the islands.
