Description
Discover the World Heritage Site of Gorée Island and the icons of Dakar in a full day: ferry, official tour guide, entry to the House of Slaves included, and door-to-door transport.
Your day starts hassle-free: we'll pick you up at your hotel in Dakar and take you straight to the harbor to board a ferry to Gorée Island. Upon arriving at this car-free enclave, listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, you'll wander through its ochre-colored streets lined with bougainvillea, colonial houses, and local artists' studios.
Accompanied by an official guide, you'll visit the Maison des Esclaves, where you'll get an up-close look at the historic "Door of No Return" and the legacy of the transatlantic slave trade. Afterwards, enjoy a full lunch by the sea, with authentic flavors such as fresh fish or Thiéboudienne.
Back in Dakar, you'll explore the city's major landmarks: the imposing Monument to the African Renaissance — with the option of climbing its 198 steps for a 360° panoramic view — the Mosque of the Divinity by the Atlantic, and the historic Independence Square, as well as the lively handicraft markets.
The day ends with a private transfer back to your hotel, so you don't have to worry about a thing.
Important: The House of Slaves is closed on Mondays for its weekly day off.
If the Slave Lodge is closed or unavailable, we offer a guaranteed full refund for the affected reservation.
If you need an English-speaking tour guide for the excursion, please book the excursion in advance.
