Goree Island Day Visit in Dakar, Senegal

[more photos]

Goree Island has many popular tourist attractions, including the oldest church of Senegal - Saint Charles Borromée, many museums (such as the Musée de la Femme, Musée de la Mer and Musée Historique), Fort d'Estrée, Théâtre de verdure and Université des mutants, among others. But the one the main point of interest in Goree is the architecture of the buildings and the colours used to paint them, giving the streets a very pleasant look. These paved and sandy streets are very inviting to wander on.

Participant Guidelines

Each traveller registering with us for this tour will have to pay a 5% participation fee (included in the price) to the island association which:

- Trains young people of the island to become professional guides, thus helping local people to benefit from tourism income
