Akosombo Dam & Volta River Authority Boat Cruise

Insider tip

<p>The Akosombo Dam — completed 1965 — created Lake Volta, the world's largest man-made lake by surface area. The VRA (Volta River Authority) runs guided dam tours explaining how 70% of Ghana's electricity was once generated here. The boat cruise on Lake Volta is a separate, spectacular experience — gliding on a vast inland sea surrounded by forest. Combine: dam tour (morning) + boat cruise (afternoon) + Akaa Falls (nearby) + Volta Lake ferry experience. 2.5 hours from Accra. Full Eastern Region circuit when combined with Shai Hills and Koforidua Bead Market.</p>
