Boti WaterFalls, Umbrella Rock, Aburi Gardens & Cocoa Farm Tour

Francisco_M, Jan 2026

Excellent tour and excellent guide

The activity was pretty cool. Our guide was very polite and catered to the needs of everyone in the tour. He made the tour smarter. We did the things that made most sense earlier. We start with the botanical gardens and then we went to the the umbrella Rock. After that the boti falls and finishing the cocoa farm I really had a great experience and would definitely recommend this tour. The only thing is that you have to beware that they hike is not easy. It's pretty hot, pretty steep and going down and going up. Up. I'm an athletic 32-year-old male and I didn't have major problems, but I could see someone in the older side who does not do any kind of exercise would have problems. However, there is a way way to drive up to the umbrella, Rock and the palm tree. Our guide offered us if we would want to be picked up once we finish the hike and it was a smart decision. I did enjoy the hike but no need to do the same trip back. If they could pick me up and we could go on with a day. It was still a pretty good workout. This hike took almost an hour. I definitely recommend this tour and this company

The Homecoming Experience To Cape-coast And Elmina.

Werner_K, Dec 2025

A lot of history

It was very interesting touring Cape Coast and Elmina castles. You are confronted with a lot of history but also a very interesting landscape. Our driver was excellent and made us to enjoy this excursion a lot. Be aware that currently most of the road from Accra to Cape Coast is under construction which extends travelling time quite significantly.

Experience the Beauty, History and the Culture Of Accra in a Day

Erin_M, Dec 2025

Nice tour with rich history.

My husband, friend, and I had a wonderful time on the Experience the Beauty, History and Culture of Accra in a Day tour. Our guide, Elijah, was incredibly knowledgeable and accommodating, he even let us stop for lunch, though it wasn’t originally included. We learned so much about the history of Accra and truly enjoyed the experience. A few tips: eat before you go, pack water and sunscreen, and bring patience, Ghana’s sun and traffic are no joke! We were picked up around 9am and dropped off around 4pm, so it’s a full day. One thing to note: we were a bit surprised that the tour vehicle was an older Toyota Corolla. It did have AC, and since it was just the four of us, it worked fine, but with more people, it would’ve been tight. Overall, we had a great day and would recommend this tour for anyone wanting to explore Accra’s rich history and culture.
