Ghana

Offered in: English

This is a private, full-day journey guided by a local Cape Coast native who knows the hidden stories behind each landmark. Rather than rushing through UNESCO sites like a standard group tour, you'll experience the soul of Ghana's heritage coast - from Kakum's canopy to the emotional weight of the slave dungeons - at your own pace. Worry-free return to your ship is guaranteed.

Kakum National Park, Cape Coast Castle, and Elmina Castle
