After breakfast enjoy a full day tour of Malabo. Malabo is the capital city of Equatorial Guinea, located at the northern end of the island of Bioko. First colonized by the Portuguese in 1494, over the centuries the island has frequently changed hands between the British and Spanish until the country independence in 1968. This colonial history is easily visible in the old colonial architecture of the city, characterized by thick walls, wrought-iron work, and stylish shutters and blinds. One will especially want to note the Spanish tiling in the cathedral square.
Another local attraction worth visiting is the Spanish-Equatorial Guinean Cultural Center. After visiting there you can walk out onto the peninsula where the decaying Hotel Bahia sits; take in the beautiful island scenery afforded by Malabo. Built around a natural harbor that was once the crater of an ancient volcano, it is truly unique. Malabo has a languid, sleepy feel to it that will allow one to slip into seaside style relaxation.

Steep mountains and deep valleys dominate the island’s landscape and it is visibly flooded with tropical flowers and flora. An attraction not to be missed is the Lago A Pot, a large crater lake in the center of the island. The landscape is truly unforgettable. After your island adventure, you will return to Malabo.

After breakfast, visit the pristine crater lakes of Lago Loreto and Lago Biao in northern Bioko. The Lago Biao is known for the garzette egrets and dabchicks (small grebes) found around the lake, as well as for the palmist vultures, touracos and the spectacular blue plantain eaters that are often seen during the walk to the crater. The area is also known to be home to several species of monkeys, including the Black Colobus and the Red-eared Mantle. Later, visit the nearby waterfalls where three distinct branches of the Iladyi River dive into a 250 m (800 ft) canyon. As you stand in the moss-draped forest at the top of the largest waterfall, you contemplate the untouched forest up to the other waterfalls. The area is also an important agricultural center, providing the cool climate and rich volcanic soil required for growing tomatoes, beans, and other vegetables. Then return to your hotel in Malabo.
