We would be delighted to
-
help you in renting local canoes, speed boats or sailing boats for trips in the delta of the Volta River and to the mouth of the estuary.

organize scenic canoe trips with local guides, e.g. to some small villages of the islands in the delta, along mangrove wood, through various creeks and to an Akpeteshie distillery (sugarcane “Schnapps”) on one of the islands.
-
inform you about local events and festivals in the Ada Region, e.g. the famous Asafotufiami Festival, beginning every year at the end of the first week of August.

Take the Ferry (if operating) or a boat taxi to Anyanui on the eastern bank of Volta delta and visit the large market on Wednesday.

Keta can also be reached by road via Sogakope and Woe.
