Day 1: Friday – Flight to Príncipe

On Sunday morning, Africa’s Connection will fly you in 30 minutes from São Tomé to Príncipe airport, where the Bom Bom staff will be waiting to meet you.

You will arrive in Bom Bom Island Resort before lunch time. After lunch, you have time to settle into your room, take a swim in the pool or the ocean, relax at one of the secluded beaches of the resort, to enjoy a cocktail from the private terrace of your bungalow or to go on your first excursion to discover the island.

Day 2 : Saturday - Príncipe

While Bom Bom is a wonderful place to relax and recharge your spirit, there is also plenty there to explore and discover.

Santo Antonio City Tour
It is a photographer’s dream: the rustic town of Santo Antonio tells the colourful story of a colonial Portuguese village that is now home to the people of Príncipe. Enjoy the warm, friendly atmosphere of the town as you stroll through its streets, visit the fish and fresh produce markets, and step into some of the old shops with their assorted goods and trinkets. Sample some of the local delicacies or see what natural remedies the chemist might prescribe.
Hiking
Circumnavigate Bom Bom Island by foot, and discover its beautiful rock pools with their own ecosystems varying from one pool to the next. Or go on a leisurely hike through the forest to experience the sounds of the jungle and catch glimpses of a Mona monkey or the African grey parrot. If you are looking for something more challenging, you can mount the peak “Pico Papagaio”. At the start of the climb, you will see the daily life at a livestock farm. From here we follow the old historic trail to the top of Pico Papagaio, which rises at the centre of the island to a height of 680 metres. Reaching the summit, you are met by breathtaking views of the island.
Diving*) & Snorkelling
Discover the underwater world of Bom Bom! São Tomé and Príncipe, both ancient volcanic islands, are home to some of the world’s most spectacular rock formations, above and below the waterline. With drop-offs of over 35 metres, overhangs and cascading boulders, there is plenty of sea life here to keep you coming back for more!

*) Bom Bom Island Resort has a certified NAUI dive instructor. Based on NAUI's policy, the minimum age for children to go diving is 12 years old. For more information, please see our special diving packages.
Whale Watching*)
From mid-July to mid-September, humpback whales visit the waters around Bom Bom as they migrate from their low-latitude summer feeding grounds to more tropical mating and calving areas.

*) Please note that sightings cannot be guaranteed and this excursion is not included in the cost of this programme and that a surplus will be charged.
