Itinerary

Badagry Slave Museum and Black History Museum

2 hours Admission included

Your tour opens inside the slave barracoon, a haunting yet deeply important space that preserves relics from the transatlantic slave era. Here, you’ll encounter original chains, shackles, and artifacts that reveal the harsh realities faced by enslaved Africans.

You will also visit the resting place of Williams Seriki Abass, a complex and influential figure whose life shaped the region’s slave‑trade narrative. His story adds depth and context to the era’s human experiences.

Next, you’ll proceed to the Heritage Museum, where the lives and legacies of early missionaries come to life. Through preserved relics, photographs, and recovered wreckage, you’ll discover how these individuals influenced education, religion, and social change during a turbulent period —showing both the suffering of the enslaved and the efforts of those who sought to transform the community.

The First Storey Building in Nigeria, built in 1845. This landmark is a symbol of cultural transformation.
Gberefu Island (Point of No Return)

3 hours Admission included

After exploring the museums, your journey continues to Gberefu Island, a place where memory and history meet the ocean.

On the way, you’ll stop at the haunting Attenuation Wells, where enslaved Africans were forced to drink water believed to erase their memories and weaken their ties to home. From there, you’ll visit the site of a new historical monument being built to preserve additional relics from the slave era.

The experience culminates at the shores of the Atlantic Ocean, the very point where countless enslaved Africans were taken onto ships bound for unknown lands. Standing on this coastline offers a powerful moment of reflection, connecting you deeply to the stories of resilience and loss that shaped this region.
