Why Visit The Gambia

Senegambia - Treasure Island

A full day excursion to the 'treasure island' Jinnack, taking you through the countryside of The Gambia and neighbouring Senegal.

The day starts early with a short journey to Banjul to experience the hustle and bustle of the port before boarding the ferry for the 45 minute ferry crossing to Barra on the northern bank of the River Gambia. Ferry times can be erratic and are often very crowded!

After meeting our 4 wheel drive truck and a quick breakfast stop, the journey continues to the border with Senegal where you will have your passport checked and stamped before continuing through the Senegalese countryside to the village of Bakindikotu. A 30-45 minute boat trip brings us to the island of Jinnack and then after a 30 minute walk across the island we reach a deserted beach where a picnic is waiting.

After lunch there is time to relax and swim before setting back across the island by foot to catch the boat for the return journey. Arrive back at your hotel between 6pm and 8pm.
