About us
Born from a passion for surf and for our island
São Tomé Surf Travel is a local company specialising in authentic experiences in São Tomé and Príncipe, islands classified as a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve.
We were born out of a passion for surfing, for nature, and for showing the best of our island to everyone who visits. More than a tourism company, we are a team of locals who know every beach, every trail and every corner of this paradise in the Gulf of Guinea.
São Tomé and Príncipe, officially the Democratic Republic of São Tomé and Príncipe, is an island country on the western equatorial coast of Central Africa. It consists of two main islands, São Tomé and Príncipe, roughly 140 km apart and about 250 km and 225 km from the north-western coast of Gabon respectively.
São Tomé Surf Travel organises tailor-made experiences for travellers who want to discover São Tomé and Príncipe in a genuine way, through surfing, cultural tours, hikes, waterfalls, cocoa and coffee plantations, wildlife watching, or simply by enjoying the gentle rhythm of our famous “leve-leve”.
Our goal is to provide unique and memorable trips, with close support, local knowledge and attention to every detail, so that you can experience São Tomé and Príncipe like a true local.
If you're looking for perfect waves, untouched landscapes, authentic São Toméan culture and a one-of-a-kind experience, we're here to help you live something incredible, building your ideal trip together with you.

Our mission
Tourism that leaves the island better than it found it
Our mission is to provide authentic and unforgettable experiences in São Tomé and Príncipe, promoting responsible tourism that values local culture, nature and communities.
We believe tourism can be a tool for sustainable development, creating job opportunities across the community, guides, surf instructors, drivers, accommodations, restaurants and small local businesses.
By choosing São Tomé Surf Travel you are also contributing to the growth of the local economy and to a more sustainable future for our island. We aim to increasingly support community initiatives and educational projects that benefit the new generations of São Toméans.
We want every trip to leave not only unforgettable memories for our visitors, but also a positive impact on São Tomé and Príncipe and on the people who live here.
