Islands in Volta Region

The Volta Region's islands are quiet, watery places where the day is shaped by boats and birds rather than crowds. Around Keta, the Keta Lagoon Complex Ramsar Site spreads out as a brackish lagoon, and small, undeveloped sand islands sit within it, reached by locally arranged boat from Keta town. These islands are known for birdwatching, with boat access to bird-breeding islands, and the Keta Lagoon Islands experience is as simple as it sounds: sand, water, and the chance to watch birds going about their lives.

Further inland, Kpando Torkor is a fishing and ferry landing point on Lake Volta in Kpando Municipal, where guided boat trips run by Emo Guide Service take visitors out onto the water. If you would rather keep land under your feet, Eli Boutique Hotel and Beach Resort at Tegbi-Aklamanstse near Keta offers a beachfront base with 50 rooms, a restaurant, a pool and conference facilities.

What these places share is water, boats and a slow pace. What differs is the setting: a brackish lagoon and its sand islands at Keta, open lake water at Kpando Torkor, and a comfortable resort to return to.
