Cape Coast Castle, Elmina Castle & Kakum National Park Day Tour

Jess D, Aug 2026

The BEST all inclusive tour

Whole experience was amazing. Was able to book last minute the day before. It is worth every penny and more affordable than me booking a private car plus admission fees, to take me to Cape Coast. Received pick up location the night before. The driver was friendly. The journey was around 4 hours from Accra but the car was very comfortable with aircon. Cape Coast castle was quite emotional for me. Wish I had more time as the tour was only 45mins but Elina Castle tour was slightly longer with more time to explore the castle and pay my respects to my ancestors. The tour guides were very knowledgeable. Pre-ordered lunch before arriving at Kakum National Park which was ready when we arrived. Lots of walking and step steps but that made the experience more enjoyable. The canopy walk was breathtaking, though I didn't look down.

Roger B, Aug 2026

A fantastic experience’

A fantastic day from beginning to end!! Communication before the trip was great. Pick up was on time, the plan for the day was explained and fantastic guides for each location! I would highly recommend!!

When you come to Accra, you must experience the Cape Coast and Kakum National Park with Expedition Tours! I had an amazing time with Emmanuel and Christopher.

Simone J, Aug 2026

BEST EXPERIENCE EVER

I think this tour was one of the best ever, first off I had an amazing tour guide Patrick, he was so informative and amazing throughout the whole tour. Cape coast and Elmina castle was an incredible experience and Kakum national park was icing on the cake 👌🏾

Jeanine D, Aug 2026

Must visit Cape Coast Castle!!!

Wow, what an impactful experience. I booked this because I wanted to go on the canopy tour, but the Cape Coast Castle will stay with me forever - reading and watching videos does not compare to being in the dungeons and walking the grounds. Additionally, I met a new friend and learned all about Singapore during the long drive, which our guide was very efficient and safe with.

Rohan B, Aug 2026

Wonderful tour of Cape Coast, Elmira, and Kakum

Emmanuel was a wonderful guide! He deftly navigated us from Accra to cape coast and back, and gave very good commentary as well about the various landmarks along the way!

Great tour

We had a wonderful experience and felt well-cared for. It was a long day but we felt we fulfilled what we hoped for to see the Castles and the hanging bridges. Our guide was excellent.
