Additional Information
Discover and immerse yourself in the Slave Castles and Dungeons, including the notorious DOOR OF NO RETURN - a historical symbol of African enslavement to the new world. Rekindle ties and reconnect with your kin, while immersed in a journey that’s rich in history, oozing culture, and offers a profound sense of identity.
Apart from this, travelers will also have the thrill of experiencing a canopy walk set toweringly at about 250 meters above sea level, amidst the lush evergreen rainforest (comfortable attire recommended).
The day package incorporates three significant activities aimed to explore (Cape Coast Castle, Elmina Castle, and Kakum Canopy experience).
However, factors such as city or highway congestion can sometimes influence the schedule. In case of such events, we might limit the visit to just one Castle and the Kakum Canopy experience or both castles (depending on preferences, the Kakum part can be excluded for those uncomfortable with hikes and heights), before making our way back to Accra before nightfall.

The best experience w/Ghanamustgotours. - Booking with Toufic was amazing. From start to finish he communicated everything, answered our questions, was prompt and responsive to emails and texts and provided an amazing, valuable and life changing experience. He is kind and helpful, and the tour is worth way more than what we paid. Van picked us up on time, a delicious lunch was provided at a beautiful coastal restaurant, we felt and were safe the entire trip and Toufic went above and beyond to make our experience more meaningful. Please book with Ghanamustgotours. Don’t even consider booking elsewhere, seriously.

Great experience - The canopy tour was tones of fun and a work out going up the hill. However, the view once you reach the top was absolutely stunning! Then we went to the cape coast castle which was insightful and heartbreaking at the same time. The castle tour of where the transatlantic slave trade began was emotional but extremely informative.
All in all, it was a great experience that I recommend that you participate in. And our tour guide Amara was fun, helpful, accommodating and he was very knowledgeable about the Ghana and the various cultural experiences.

An informative day exploring the history of slavery - We had a great and memorable trip to the Cape Coast. About a 3 hour drive from Accra.
Our guide (Kapito) was amazing. Super personable and informative. My friend and I opted out of the Kakum Canopy/National Park, so we started our time on the Coast with beachside breakfast. We first visited Elmina and then Cape Coast Castle. The two castles differ essentially only by the countries that claimed historical possession. But their common history lies in the horrendous history that was slavery. Visiting the former slave dungeons provides an opportunity to briefly relieve this horror. It is a necessary experience, not just for Africans and descendants of the African Diaspora. This is an important experience for all humans that believe knowing our past helps us to not repeat it!
We ended our time with another beachside meal and then returned to Accra.

Homecoming Cape coast Castle, Kakum and Elmina Castle - What an incredible experience! The driver and our Guide Amara were so thoughtful and anticipated our needs in advance even to the smallest detail. We were travelling with kids so Amara created an itinerary and logistics that made sure the kids were occupied on the long drive and also at each stop. We had lunch at a charming beach restaurant close to Elmina Castle. All around a fabulous experience!

The best tour guide in Ghana - This was a great tour! Our guide was professional, punctual, knowledgeable, fun, and was able to personalize the tour for us to have the best experience. We did the canopy and cape coast tour then had a delicious lunch afterwards at a beautiful ocean front restaurant. It was great vibes. My friend and I would definitely come back and do more tours with him. He even gave great recommendations on restaurants and clubs! We couldn’t have asked for a better tour and guide! We are so grateful. He made our experience in Ghana a memorable one.
