What to expect
Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Cape Coast Castle, Cape Coast Ghana
The Cape Coast Castle is one of the biggest castles still standing in Ghana today which was constructed by European forces, On a portion of the Gold Coast that subsequently came to be known as the Cape Coast, it all started as a Portuguese trade lodge built in 1555. The Swedish Africa Company built a permanent wooden stronghold in 1653 to facilitate the trading of gold and lumber after Sweden conquered the Cape Coast. The regional office of the Ghana Museums and Monuments Board is located there, and it is currently a historical museum with a gift shop selling Ghanaian arts and crafts.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Elmina Castle, Elmina Ghana
So Jorge da Mina (St. George of the Mine) was the name given to Elmina Castle by the Portuguese in 1482 when they erected it in Elmina, Ghana (formerly the Gold Coast). Elmina and Elmina Castle is the oldest European structure still standing below the Sahara because it was the first trading post ever constructed on the Gulf of Guinea. It was initially founded as a trading colony but eventually developed into one of the most significant sites along the path of the Atlantic slave trade. A significant portion of Werner Herzog's 1987 drama film "Cobra Verde" was filmed at Elmina Castle, which is now a well-known historical landmark. It serves as a stark reminder of the history of the slave trade and is a very sought-after destination for African American travelers hoping to connect with their heritage.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Kakum National Park, Cape Coast Ghana
Ghana’s most visited attraction site, tucked away with the Kakum Rainforest is the amazing canopy walkway suspended 40m above ground level, which offers a fascinating and beautiful perspective of the forest and Wildlife.
Duration: 2 hours
Stop At: Hans Cottage Botel, 355 R82, Cape Coast Castle, Ghana
The setting is pleasant, partly built on stilts on a pond, with a swimming pool and nice greenery. There are crocodiles, turtles and various bird species to be seen (and a large colony of weaver birds building their nests around the water).

The company did a good job, but overall, I do not recommend a day trip from Accra to Cape Coast because you’ll spend 10+ hours in the car due to traffic. We left at 6am and returned at 8:40pm. I recommend pre-downloading shows to watch during the car ride and bringing snacks and water. (Lunch was around 2 pm and only 1 water bottle is provided.) Also wear hiking shoes because the canopy walk is a hike and can be muddy. Other than the long car ride, this tour is a great way to see more of Ghana and learn some of its history.aishwaryaw2016

George was kind and patient. A great trip. Thank you George! My recommendation is for guestswho book this tour. When you are in the castles be respectful of the place, history, and people on the tour. There is plenty of time outside the castle tours to hike around touch things. Do not play around with the equipment, tools, etc on the tour. Please.
