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

“The tour is definite must see! I missed the part about it being a 3.5 ride from Accra, so be prepared for that part. The roads are underdeveloped so it will be a tough journey.
