Gorée & Lac Rose Tour - Full day
Gorée & Lac Rose Tour - Full day
An excursion through history and unique landscapes
Leave your hotel for the pier, then take a 20-minute rowboat ride to Gorée Island, a poignant symbol of the slave trade. Discover its narrow streets and colonial architecture, and visit :
- the House of Slaves, with its famous Door of No Return
- Saint-Charles church
- Fort d'Estrées, now a historical museum
After this cultural and historical immersion, we head for the mythical Lac Rose. Lunch at Salim's before visiting this astonishing lake, whose color varies from pink to mauve depending on the light. With a salt concentration of almost 380 g/litre, you can float effortlessly in its waters, in the manner of the Dead Sea.
Discover the salt pans, where artisanal salt extraction is carried out mainly by Peul women from neighboring villages. Lac Rose is also famous for having been the emblematic finishing point of the Paris-Dakar rally for many years.
A 4×4 ride over the dunes takes you through spectacular scenery of sand, Sahelian vegetation and ocean views. Then enjoy a moment of relaxation on the beach, test your floating skills in the salt water and finish off with a freshwater rinse in a natural oasis.
Return to your hotel at the end of the day.
Discover the fascinating history of Gorée and experience the unique sensations of Lac Rose on a memorable journey through heritage and exceptional landscapes.
