About Your Experience

Private Experience This experience is exclusively for you (or your group) and won’t be shared with others.

Embark on an unforgettable day trip by motorboat through the picture-perfect canals of Ganvié. Immerse yourself in the unique history of this lakeside community and admire traditional fishing techniques, such as akadja fishing. Explore the statues of the kings, glide along the romantic Lovers’ Canal and soak up the atmosphere of the floating market. Take part in hands-on activities: drive a boat or cast a net like a real fisherman! A visit to Raphaël’s place and a tour of the artisan workshops round off this timeless experience, before we set on our way again, our hearts full of memories.
