Get more from your visit by booking this Sao Tome and Principe Full-Day Private Tour, which is ideal for families or group who don’t want to take a massive group tour of the area. With just your private group, get picked up easily and explore the area. Visit main sights such as Rolas Island to see the Equator sign and Pico Cao Grande.

Besides being able to put one foot on either side of the Equator, this private tour also takes you to visit plantations, beaches, turtle watching, and more. This is not a large group tour, so you don’t need to stick to a detailed itinerary. Instead, you can go at your own pace, spending a little more time where your interests lie, before being returned to Sao Tome after your tour.

Your journey will begin in the north of the island with short stops at iconic plantations and the famous Blue Lagoon for sightseeing or a swim. You'll visit a cocoa plantation to discover how fresh beans are transformed into dry beans, ready for chocolate production. For lunch, you can choose a spot in the Neves area—ask your guide for the best options. If time is short, lunch can be enjoyed in the capital on the way back. You'll also stop at the Diogo Vaz Chocolate Boutique, where you'll enjoy one warm chocolate drink OR one pastry per person. Afterwards, we'll kindly drive you back to your hotel or the port. Note 1: The guided visit to a cocoa plantation will take place either at Francisco Cabral plantation, Diogo Vaz, or CECAB Cooperative, depending on availability. Note 2 (for cruise ship travelers): Due to the shortage of competent English-speaking guides when cruise ships are in São Tomé, we may merge different travelers together in the same vehicle.

Discover everything you need to know to become a coffee expert in one day! Your visit begins at Monte Café plantation, where you'll learn about the coffee tree—its flowers, beans, and maturity. Next, visit the Coffee Museum and meet Efraim, a young Santomean company exporting 100% organic coffee. They'll guide you through the coffee bean transformation process. The journey ends in São Tomé at Diogo Vaz shop, where you can buy local souvenirs (chocolate, coffee, pepper, vanilla...) and enjoy a cup of coffee. Lunch options (not included): Efraim at Monte Café or Almada Negreiros. Note 1: Availability may be limited on Sundays. Note 2: The Efraim workshop depends on availability. If unavailable, we'll try to arrange a visit with the local cooperative.
