Connect from São Tomé with STP Airways (30 minute flight) to Príncipe island. This flight operates most days of the week but the schedule is subject to change.
Meet and greet by the HBD Príncipe team and a road transfer (20 minutes) to Roça Sundy.
Roça Sundy
At Roça Sundy, the history of Príncipe comes alive. Stay in one of two perfectly-restored plantation houses as you explore the island by hiking through the jungle, visiting secluded beaches, and immersing yourself in the cultural epicenter of Santo Antonio.
Road transfer (45 minutes) from the plantation of Roça Sundy to where the ocean meets the jungle at Sundy Praia.
Or, you can choose to walk between the two by taking a wonderful scenic forest route that is a fraction of the distance the car takes by road.
Bags will be brought in my vehicle.
