What To Expect
Cape Coast Castle
Our guide will first take you to visit the Cape Coast Castle. Cape Coast Castle was a trading post on the West African coast in the modern nation of Ghana. It stands only a few miles from another slave castle built by the Portuguese at Elmina in the late fifteenth century. Originally built by Sweden in the 1650s, Cape Coast Castle shifted into Danish, Dutch, and then English possession by the 1660s. In the castle’s early decades, trade revolved around gold, wood, and textiles before English merchants began to seek captive Africans in large numbers.
Kakum National Park
We will visit the Kakum National Park. Tucked away in the Assin Attandanso Reserve is the Kakum National Park and Canopy Walkway that offers visitors spectacular scenery and a fascinating wildlife experience along with modern camping facilities. The park’s best-known feature is undoubtedly its 7 suspension bridges which form a 333-meter long canopy walkway, suspended up to 27 meters above the forest floor from trees that are over 300 years old.

5.00Wonderful. Patrick was a great tourguide. I was the only one on the tour. He made me feel welcome and gave me insights into the country and the sights. I've been to Ghana several times, but never to these two places. Patrick did everything he possibly could to make me feel welcome. Even helped me bargain for purchases and going out of his way to make things comfortable, to slake my curiosity about what I was seeing, and to show me things that I would not otherwise have noticed. The road to Cape Coast is under construction, and it takes an extra hour these days to get there. Patrick made the time pass quickly--and negotiated the difficult temporary road with great expertise. He was a little late picking me up, and I was concerned that somehow he had the wrong address--because I myself gave the address a bit late. Not to worry. Not only did he arrive 10 minutes after my concern started (traffic...) but also the main office replied to my anxious email within three minutes--at 6:00 AM! Excellent service. Highly rccommended. . onderful. Patrick was a great tourguide. I was the only one on the tour. He made me feel welcome and gave me insights into the country and the sights.

5.00Tour guide and tour company were great. Kakum Park require good physical conditioning as there is a steep climb up multiple steps. Canopy walk could be a challenge if one is afraid of heights. Cape Coast castle was very emotional for me a descendant of enslaved Africans.
Fun company trip

5.00My trip to Ghana was an experience I will forever hold dear to my heart. From the time I made my initial inquiry, Ernest from EasytourGh was very responsive. He drafted a well-planned itinerary which gave me the opportunity to experience the best of the country’s culture, food, and people. Some of the noteworthy places we visited include; Educational - Dr. Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Adventurous - The Canopy Walk Reflective and Emotional - Cape Coast/The Slave Dungeons Nature - Boti Falls and the Botanical Gardens. Also, as a solo female traveler, to a destination, I had never visited Ernest ensured that I felt comfortable and safe. I highly recommend Easytourgh.
I had a really good trip...

5.00I had a really good trip to Kakun and Coast Castle. The nature was faszinating and the history of the Castle deeply impressive. A must-see when you come to Ghana. The guide, Patrick, organized everything perfectly and took good care of me.
