Complete waste of money
This is ridiculous. If you go to the beach, a boat will take you to the island and back for 2,000 CFA (about € 3, or $ 3.50). The island is about 1 km long and 500 metres wide, why on earth you would need a guide for that is a mystery to me. There are currently exactly 3 restaurants on the beach, no guide needed for that. If you pay for this tour, you might as well flush the money down the toilet.

Worst and most overpriced tour I’ve ever been on
The most boring and over priced tour I’ve been on in years. Suppose to be a 4-5 hour tour of a got island but was 2hrs start to finish early in the morning with nothing barely open. This is not a tour company, it’s a transportation company. Would not recommend - just take a taxi to the port and pay a boat captain to take you to November island. You’ll save $130.

Colorful island
I had a great time on this island. From the beautiful scenery to the friendly people this was an island not to miss when visiting senegal. This was made possible by Senegal shuttle services. They provided the best service that was flexible, professional, prompt, and so knowledgeable about everything I wanted to know about the past and present of Senegal. I highly recommend this tour and Senegal shuttle.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Visit to Ngor Island: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dakar.
How much does Visit to Ngor Island cost?
+
Prices start at $119 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Dakar usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Visit to Ngor Island take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Dakar is not rushed.
Is Visit to Ngor Island worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Dakar, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Visit to Ngor Island?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Visit to Ngor Island suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Visit to Ngor Island?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Dakar can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Dakar and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Visit to Ngor Island start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Dakar within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Dakar?
+
On Outty we rank every Dakar experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Explore Dakar and Gorée Island full day, Taxi DSS to DAKAR,SALY,RIU HOTEL,SOMONE ( please check Options), Full-Day DAKAR city / GOREE Island Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Dakar?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Dakar?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
