Excursion Bom bom island tour at Bombom Island
Cruise line: SilverseaDifficulty:
Meaning "Good Good" in Portuguese, the charming islet of Ilhéu Bom Bom (Bom Bom Island) is located near the north coast of the island of Príncipe, one of the main islandsof São Tomé and Príncipe. Bom Bom Island is virtually fully covered by forest vegetation and is home to approximately 15 permanent residents, mostly those involved in running the nearby resort.
Go ashore on this tiny, lovely island to either enjoy the beaches and the facilities of a Bom Bom Resort or take a birdwatching walk. Look for both the blue-breasted and white-bellied kingfisher, which can often be seen flitting around the island. You may also spot golden weavers, Príncipe starlings, bronze mannikins, Príncipe drongos, Dohrn's thrush-babblers (some of the most vocal birds on the island), as well as swallowtails and stunning dragonflies.
Return to the ship after your day of relaxation.
