Description of this activity

Located at the southern tip of the Petite-Côte, Joal-Fadiouth is an iconic site in Senegal, known for its shell-formed islands and its unique religious and cultural history.
This guided hike combines nature, culture, and human discovery, set in a landscape that is both marine and rural.

The walk starts in Joal, the birthplace of President Léopold Sédar Senghor, before crossing the wooden bridge that connects the mainland to Fadiouth, the shell island.
The guide tells the story of the place, the coexistence of cultures, and the symbolism of the mixed cemetery where Christians and Muslims rest side by side.

The route continues along the wooden walkways bordered by mangroves and colorful pirogues.
You can observe fishermen, carts, markets, as well as seabirds — herons, pelicans, cormorants — that inhabit the area.
A snack break is planned in a small shaded area before continuing the walk through coastal paths and shell harvesting zones.
