This is what your adventure trip looks like

Dive into a hands-on expedition that combines marine life conservation with a unique sailing experience in breathtaking island landscapes! Experience a true adventure: hands-on conservation work, sleeping under the stars on a boat, seeing whales up-close and teamwork in one of the world’s most fascinating landscapes.

On your first day, you will be picked up from the main airport in São Tomé. After you've settled in, we will do an introduction to the project & life on board. The next day, we will be sailing to Principe, where the main research will take place & where we will be spending the next days, on the sailing vessel & on the different islands. The exact route will depend on the weather, the conditions & whale sightings.
