Elobey- Travel Tips

What to See, How to Plan & Tours

The Elobey Islands, comprising Elobey Grande and Elobey Chico, are located near the Mitémélé River's mouth in Equatorial Guinea's Gulf of Guinea. Elobey Grande is sparsely inhabited, while Elobey Chico, once the colonial capital of Río Muni, is now uninhabited. These islands are covered with dense tropical forests and are uninhabited, except for fishermen who camp on their shores. The islands hold historical significance due to colonial-era ruins from Spanish, English, and Dutch influences. Their proximity to the mainland and rich biodiversity make them noteworthy for travelers interested in history and nature.
