Depart from the pier and embark on a scenic drive through Takoradi’s main port. Your knowledgeable guide will share fascinating details about Ghana’s imports, exports, and railway connections.
As you continue your journey, pass by Monkey Hill and its adjacent wetlands—a rare virgin forest nestled within the heart of the metropolis. Observe monkeys and various bird species in their natural habitat.
Head along Beach Road to Sekondi, the twin city. Drive through Sekondi’s European Town, catching glimpses of Fort Orange, historic Colonial buildings, and the imposing High Court. The landscape is dotted with commercial and residential structures, including the old railway station.
Visit Bosomtwi-Sam Fishing Harbor, where the lively boatyard buzzes with activity. Witness fish being unloaded, sorted, and prepared for market. Immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of this coastal hub.
Stop at Takoradi Market Circle for a brief walking tour. Here, you’ll experience the colorful tapestry of Ghanaian life—vendors, shoppers, and the lively energy of a bustling market.
Conclude your day with a delightful cultural show and refreshing treats at a local hotel. Immerse yourself in the rhythms, traditions, and warmth of Ghanaian hospitality.
Please note:
The fishing harbor is very congested with fishermen, fishmongers and shoppers. Walking through this area requires picking your way through the crowd. There are open drains; you must look down as you walk to avoid falling into them. Not advisable for guests using a wheelchair or for those with mobility limitations. The fish-smoking area generates smoke; this may be problematic for guests with asthma. Limited tourism infrastructure is part of the charm here, and you are trading breadth of experience for authentic interaction. Please bring your spirit of adventure and bear with any language difficulties your guide may encounter and with any operational surprises that may crop up.
