The Lemon Essentials

Your guide meets you at Accra Kotoka International Airport. Enjoy a scenic 3-hour transfer to Elmina, passing through fishing villages along the coast. Check in at Lemon Beach Resort, freshen up, and join us for a welcome dinner at Anomansa Restaurant overlooking the ocean. Spend the evening at the pool or exploring the resort grounds.

After breakfast, walk to Elmina Castle for a detailed guided tour of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. Learn the full history of the Gold Coast, the trans-Atlantic slave trade, and the Door of No Return. Lunch at Anomansa Restaurant at the foot of the castle. In the afternoon, choose your adventure: a quad bike ride through coastal trails or a boat tour around the castle and fishing harbour. End the day with a bonfire night on the beach, cold drinks, and the sound of the Atlantic.

Morning: board a motorboat at the lagoon near the resort and cruise around Elmina Castle, past the colourful fishing boats, and along the coastline. After lunch, join a guided tour of the Elmina fish market — one of the busiest in West Africa — and watch the daily catch being brought ashore. In the late afternoon, try a local cooking lesson at the resort and learn to prepare Ghanaian dishes like jollof rice and groundnut soup.

A full day of nature and relaxation. Morning: drive to Kakum National Park for the famous canopy walk — a 350-metre wooden walkway suspended 40 metres above the rainforest floor with stunning views of the tropical canopy. Return to the resort for a relaxing afternoon — enjoy a massage on the terrace, float in the pool, or simply unwind on the beach with a book.

A leisurely morning at the resort. Enjoy breakfast, then choose how to spend your final hours — a last swim in the pool, or simply relax on the beach. Check out and transfer back to Accra Kotoka International Airport (or extend your stay).
