Île de Kassa
The largest and most populous of the Los Islands, and the closest to the capital. Fishing villages, beaches and old colonial ruins sit side by side, about a 20-minute boat ride away.
Kassa Island is the largest and most populous of the Los Islands. It lies only about 20 minutes by boat from the Conakry port. On the north side are several quiet beaches and small holiday camps, where visitors can swim, fish and eat grilled fish. The island's fishing villages keep their traditional way of life, and you can also see warehouses and mission station ruins from the colonial era. It suits visitors short on time, who can go there and back in half a day, and it can also be combined with Roume Island on a chartered boat tour. Note that facilities on the island are basic, and the sea is rough in the rainy season (June to September).
