An organization that works very well. The price list is unique and posted in the office. Several excursions are proposed: visit of the millet granaries on stilts, a walk in the mangroves, the grand tour of the island with a visit to the 800 year old sacred baobab tree, a horse-drawn carriage ride in the city... An obligatory stop to discover Joal!
