About

Dodi Island is an island in Ghana, located 5 kilometres (3 nmi; 3 mi) off the shore of Lake Volta. It is a tourist destination and was a landing place for the Ghanaian former cruise ship Dodi Princess, which was used for cruises on Lake Volta, from 1991 until the vessel's destruction in a fire in 2013.

Dodi Island became a major tourist site in Ghana following its creation in 1961, following the formation of Lake Volta. In 2011, the Volta River Authority allocated US$2.5 million to develop Dodi Island’s eco-tourism potential through its hospitality subsidiary, Volta Hotels Limited.
