5–6 hours.
Good cardiovascular fitness and the ability to walk on uneven, steep trails; not recommended for those with severe mobility limits.
The transfer to Cape Coast region takes roughly 2.5–3 hours each way, depending on traffic and stops.
Some areas and transport options are wheelchair accessible, but many historic fort interiors and the canopy walk have stairs and uneven surfaces—check with your operator for specifics.
The walk is secure with guardrails and weight limits, but the platforms sit about 40 meters above ground; those uncomfortable with heights should consider remaining at ground-level trails.
