Signature Experiences & Guided Tours at Príncipe Collection
We offer a curated selection of experiences, divided into Signature Experiences, Independent Excursions, and bespoke adventures on request. Signature Experiences are included in all leisure stays at Sundy Praia, Bom Bom, Belo Monte and Roça Sundy, and are led by experienced guides. Guests are invited to enjoy one shared experience per night of stay, with a personalised programme provided on arrival – allowing time to fully immerse in the rhythm, nature and spirit of Príncipe.
Experiences are subject to change without prior notice and may vary depending on availability and operational conditions. Some experiences are seasonal and only available at certain times of year, as they are guided by the rhythms of nature.

What to bring
To make the most of your time on the island, we recommend bringing comfortable clothing and suitable footwear for outdoor activities. A swimsuit, hat, insect repellent and sunscreen are also useful to have on hand.
Throughout the year, light, loose-fitting clothing in breathable fabrics such as cotton or linen is recommended. Evenings can sometimes be cooler, so a light sweater may come in handy. We also encourage guests to bring a reusable water bottle as part of our
commitment to reducing single-use plastics on the island.
For beach days: Swimwear, beachwear, sunscreen, a sun hat and sunglasses.
For forest experiences: Comfortable walking shoes (such as sneakers, trail shoes or sturdy hiking sandals that can get wet), lightweight walking clothes – ideally long trousers – and a small day backpack. A light rain jacket is recommended at any time of year.
We look forward to helping you discover the beauty of Príncipe.
