Depart on the 20 minutes ferry ride to visit the charming yet infamous Goree Island, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Observe the “Door of No Return” through which millions passed involuntarily. The tour includes a visit to the ethnographic museum and a lecture by the curator on the history of Goree Island.
