Bunce Island & Tasso Island Visits
Today, you will visit Bunce Island, once the largest British slave castle on the Rice Coast of West Africa. Established around 1670, the site was responsible for the forced export of tens of thousands of Africans to North America and the West Indies until it was closed by the British Parliament in 1807. The journey includes a 4.5-hour round-trip boat ride, followed by a guided tour of the island where you’ll learn about its dark past and the lives affected by it. Afterward, you’ll continue to Tasso Island, another significant historical site, where you’ll have the opportunity to explore more of the area's legacy.
