Honeymoon Adventure in Sao Tome and Principe

This honeymoon plan works well starting on a Monday or a Friday, however we can tailor to fit any timetable you might have in mind. Today you'll fly from the UK to Lisbon. We'll transfer you to your boutique hotel the lovely Solar do Castelo, situated in the narrow streets of Lisbon's Alfama district, and right next to the famous landmark of the Castelo de São Jorge. Your stay is on a bed and breakfast basis - tonight, there are plenty of restaurant options within Alfama.

Your day is free to relax and explore romantic Lisbon. The Castelo de São Jorge is well-worth setting aside a morning or afternoon to see. The castle walls are surprisingly intact and great to walk around for views of the site and across central Lisbon. The museum tells you all about the history of settlement here. In the evening there are plenty of great restaurants in Lisbon - perhaps end your night in the Bairro Alto district, rubbing shoulders with the locals in the lively bars. The Bairro Alto starts to come alive later in the evening. Head to the bar A Capela for dancing!

We'll pick you up for your transfer to the airport and you'll fly across Africa to equatorial Sao Tome. On arrival you'll be met for your transfer to your hotel. We'll always talk with you about your hotel preferences - in this suggestion we've included a sea view room at Club Santana on Sao Tome's eastern coast. Stays at Club Santana include half board - tonight perhaps dine at Club Santana's beach restaurant.

You can relax today, to settle in to your Sao Tome honeymoon. Spend time on Santana's beach and in the pool, go snorkelling to see many tropical fish in the warm Equatorial waters.

Our guides will pick you up for a full day exploring Sao Tome's east coast. You'll see the amazing beaches and scenery and will visit plantation communities.

Our guides will meet you again and take you for a guided walk in the remote Obo National Park. Walk through primary rainforest to see the verdant Lagoa Amelia crater.

We'll transfer you to the airport for your flight to Principe. Your week on this true paradise island is split between a luxury estate house, and an idyllic beach resort. Check in to the Roca Sundy and enjoy the rooms, views, and walking the estate. Stays at Roca Sundy are also half board.

We've included a daily experience on Principe and you can choose from a range of activities locally. Perhaps today you could have a guided walk to see the Oque Pipi waterfall and take a swim in it's plunge pool.

You could have a guided walk from Roca Sundy to the amazing sweep of golden sand that's the Sundy Praia beach.

You'll check out and will transfer to Bom Bom resort. You could incorportate a tour of the north of the island to see plantations, stunning views, and the world's smallest capital city, Santo Antonio. Bom Bom resort is the most famous in the islands, with three private beaches and a walkway to Bom Bom islet. We've included a beachfront bungalow, literally two steps from the beach. Your stay at Bom Bom is bed and breakfast - Bom Bom dinners are a la carte and you can choose and pay directly on the day.

You could take a boat trip to the Bay of Needles to see the unbelievable views of Principe's towering mountains, clad in rainforest.

Principe has many endemic birds and you could add a bird watching trip.

You could take the hotel's kayaks and snorkelling equipment and see the remote beaches of the north coast.

Cross to Sao Tome. Stay in Omali Lodge for your last night. Omali has a restaurant where you can choose from the a la carte menu - your stay here is on a bed and breakfast basis. There's time either today or tomorrow to add a guided tour of Sao Tome city, perhaps including a visit to the Claudio Corallo chocolate laboratory, if you're interested ...

We've included late checkout so that you can use your room and the facilities until it's time to transfer to the airport. The flight to Lisbon is overnight.
