We handle free of charge in our big and comfortable motor boat the water transportation of all our clients from Calavi jetty to Ganvié. In Ganvié we may handle your exploration of the village in a canoe or in a motor boat. We can teach you how to paddle like the local people. We provide catering services in our big restaurant specialized in fisheries products. We render accommodation services in clean and comfortable rooms, two or three seat beds, basic sanitation (WC, wash-basin, shower in each room), piped water and electricity around the clock, etc… During the stay of our clients, we also organize several types of events and activities: floating festivals with young people in uniforms, decorated paddles and canoes, drumming, singing and performing even acrobatic dances in their canoe, the festival of typical Ganvié traditional music, the exploration of the various techniques of artisanal fisheries notably ‘akadja', excursion on water that will take you to the lake Nokoué, river Sô, exploration of the lake villages of Sô-Zounkor, Sô-Tchanhoué, Sô-Ava and Ahomey, hunting, etc… We have registered an evolution in the delivery of our services. Increasingly, tour-operators and even the tourists that have discovered our seriousness, have been opting to entrust to us the organization of their tours both in Rep. of Benin and within the sub-region. You will discover some samples of these tours in our packages. Rep. of Benin is the cradle of Voodoo and some tourists wish to have a feel of this reality during their stay here. The organization of the initiation to voodoo constitutes one of our specialties and is conducted under the aegis of one of the most powerful Chiefs of Voodoo in Rep. of Benin , who is open to a better knowledge of the Voodoo culture by those who are not initiated. It is not a ceremony organized by a quack. For the tourists who will be here during the regular organization of such ceremonies, the cost of participation is insignificant, just the minimum to be authorized to take pictures and to have access to places requiring a prior initiation. On the other hand, those for whom this ceremony will be organized specifically, have to bear the total cost of such a ceremony, which is markedly reduced for a large group. We have been honored to receive delegations of above one hundred people led by Very Important Personalities such as Ministers, Ambassadors and Mayors for lunch or short stay. For instance the Spanish Ambassador to Nigeria and Republic of Benin led a delegation of about one hundred Spanish businesspeople for a lunch in our hotel. We would greatly appreciate, in order to serve you better, if you could book your stay with us before arriving here. By so doing, you will enjoy the chance of getting to the destination without being randsomed or harassed and we assure you that we will do our utmost best to ensure your stay here is at the least possible cost for you and is one of the most memorable souvenirs of your vacations. Looking forward to welcoming you in Ganvié and especially at Hotel Germain - Ganvié Holiday Resort!
