Best Tours & activities in Accra (2026)

A good local guide makes Accra far easier to understand. Licensed operators based in the city run half-day walks through old Accra and Jamestown, food tastings in markets and chop bars, and longer trips to the Cape Coast and Elmina castles, Kakum National Park, Aburi and the Volta region.

For heritage, a walking tour of Jamestown adds context to the lighthouse, the old forts and the fishing harbour, and introduces Ga history and community life. Day trips west to Cape Coast and Elmina are long, so many operators recommend an overnight stay, which also allows time for the Kakum canopy walkway early in the morning, when the forest is cooler and the birdlife most active. Multi-day tours can continue north to the Ashanti region around Kumasi or to the national parks of northern Ghana.

Choose operators licensed by the Ghana Tourism Authority, agree what is included before you pay, such as entrance fees, meals and transport, and confirm pick-up times and points. Private tours are common and can be tailored to your interests, while small-group departures are better value for solo travellers. Tipping guides and drivers is customary when you are happy with the service.
