Board a scenic cruise on the world's largest man-made lake — Volta Lake — stopping at the idyllic Dodi Island, then stand at the base of the mighty Akosombo Dam. A rare, otherworldly landscape of still water, fishing villages and forested islands.
What to expect
Your private transfer from Tema (~1.5 hrs) delivers you to Akosombo, where you board the Dodi Princess. The lake stretches to the horizon in every direction — an inland sea fringed by green hills and dotted with dugout canoes. Dodi Island itself is a peaceful, forested retreat where you disembark to explore and lunch. A stop at the Akosombo Dam viewpoint on the return leg contextualises the sheer engineering ambition of Nkrumah's post-independence Ghana.
Good to know
Cruises typically depart Akosombo at 10:00 and return ~15:00; factor in the 1.5-hour drive each way from Tema — a full day. Pre-book VIP/upper deck seats for the best experience. The lake can be breezy; bring a light layer. Check the cruise schedule and book in advance as weekend departures fill quickly.
