Cape Coast and Elmina Castle Tours: 15 Reviewed

83 tours  ·  ★★★★★★★★★★ 5.0 average  ·  from $110

Cape Coast Castle and Elmina Castle sit about three hours west of Accra, and a visit means the dungeons, the courtyards and the doorway captives were taken through to the ships. Most tours run the two together as one long day, often with the Assin Manso river on the way. The 15 reviewed here differ on what is included, how much walking is involved, how long you get at each site and what the day costs.

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 525 reviews · from $155

Review of the Cape Coast day tour from Accra, including two castles, Kakum’s canopy walkway, transport, costs, timing, and practical tips.

“I loved the Cape Coast Day Tour. Our tour guide, Joe, was very patient, knowledgeable and friendly. He showed up promptly and was an excellent driver. In addition, the guides at Cape Coast, Elmina Castle, and the Kakum National Park were also knowledgeable. I enjoyed the place where we stopped for lunch because the food was great and it was right by the water. The Cape Coast and Elmina Castle tours were very educational. The Kakum Forest was also nice. However, because the tour is already long (12-15 hours), I would recommend making the Kakum Park a separate tour and only going to Cape Coast and Elmina Castle in order…”
