Signature Tours
The Signature Tours collection brings the accommodation, the vehicle and selected experiences together at one price. Each tour is described in full before you book, and anything can be changed before we quote.
Curated by Jack Fitzgerald · Resident Founder, The Chocolate Islands
These circuits aren't theoretical routes designed from an office in Europe. They are the exact roads I drive, the partner roças and eco-lodges I stay in, and the local teams I work with year-round on São Tomé and Príncipe.

Early booking offer
Reserve any Signature Tour more than 90 days before your arrival date and we take 5% off the published land-only price for two. Tell us your dates and the discount is applied to the quotation before anything is confirmed.
Every property, every day and every inclusion is written out on the tour page. Nothing is held back for a call.
The price on the page is the price for two people sharing. Optional extras are marked as optional and charged separately.
Enquire and tell us what to add, drop or swap. We requote the trip and send the itinerary before you commit.
Local standards
What sits behind every price on this page, and why there is no third party in the middle.
We hold direct commercial partner contracts with the Príncipe Collection (Sundy Praia, Bom Bom, Belo Monte, Omali) and independent sanctuaries like Mucumbli and Delícias das Ilhas. You pay transparent local rates without third-party handling layers.
We do not broker third-party rental cars. Our Suzuki Jimny and Daihatsu Terios 4x4s are fleet-owned, comprehensively insured, and supplied with curated offline GPS route files for the island's terrain.
Based physically in São Tomé, our resident team handles vehicle handovers, aligns schedules with domestic inter-island flights, and provides verified on-the-ground support from arrival to departure.

Our self-drive circuits use the same lodges and the same maintained 4x4, without the guided programme. Three independent routes from €990 for two, bookended in town so the driving happens in daylight.
Send your dates and party size to the private package form and we will put a trip together, or adjust one of ours.
