HBD Príncipe is a sustainable development group founded more than a decade ago rooted in the understanding that what makes Príncipe so special must be preserved.
While those roots have grown and our operations have branched out, our guiding principle has remained the same. Preservation of Príncipe and respect for its people underlines everything we do, and it always will.

The importance of conserving and respecting the world’s wildest places, and the need for sustainable development, positively affecting people and place, has never been more apparent.
These sentiments provided the foundations of HBD Príncipe, a sustainable ecotourism and agroforestry company, when it was founded more than a decade ago, and remain a driving force today.
Working with the government of São Tomé and Príncipe, and the island communities, we are dedicated to the conservation of Príncipe Island, a precious UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. By creating responsible ecotourism experiences, and championing intentional, sustainable development, HBD helps to provide enriching opportunities to those who call Príncipe home, without damaging culture, traditions, or the island’s fragile natural environment.
