Split your Central Region adventure across two comfortable days with this overnight tour from Accra. On day one, your English-speaking guide and professional driver collect you from your hotel for a private transfer to Cape Coast. Visit the UNESCO World Heritage Cape Coast Castle, walking through the dungeons and the Door of No Return, then continue to Elmina Castle, the oldest European building in sub-Saharan Africa. After the castles, explore the vibrant Elmina fishing harbour before checking into your overnight accommodation in Cape Coast. On day two, drive inland to Kakum National Park for the famous canopy walk. Cross rope bridges 30 metres above the rainforest floor and experience the tropical canopy with an expert naturalist guide. After Kakum, stop at the Cape Coast fishing harbour to see local fishermen at work before returning to Accra in the late afternoon. This two-day format gives you more time at each site without the rushed feeling of a single-day tour. You'll stay in comfortable accommodation in Cape Coast with the option to explore the town in the evening. All entry fees, accommodation, and breakfast are included.
A carefully planned day — every stop, guide, and entry ticket handled for you.
