June to September is dry season — perfect for outdoor activities. January–February offers lush green landscapes after the rains.

Getting around

Taxis and rental cars are the best options. Many experiences include transport from your accommodation.

What to pack

Light clothing, sunscreen, insect repellent, and sturdy shoes for hiking. Water shoes for snorkelling trips.

Health & safety

Malaria prophylaxis recommended. All our experience providers are vetted and safety-checked.

What travellers say

The turtle watching experience at Praia Jalé was absolutely magical. We saw over 30 turtles nesting — something I'll never forget. Our local guide was fantastic and so knowledgeable.

Hiking to Pico de São Tomé was challenging but incredibly rewarding. The guides ensured our safety the whole way. The views from the top are beyond description.

The cooking class with a local family was the highlight of our trip. We learned to make calulú and fresh fish dishes. Booking through EcoDiscover was seamless and the price was very fair.
