Top Accra Day Trips - page 7

The timing was super . We visited the temple before it opened to tourist we were alone. The Khao sok lake was amazing the lunch 5 stars.the bamboo raft ok. All in all a great day The neg for me was the price differences between me and others in my group. I traveled solo and had to pay a premium 185 € another man also traveled solo and only paid 65€ . So do your best to find prices or even wait until you come. I booked 6 months in advance. . Like I said a great activity but an unfair price difference.

Let me start with the Cons, of which there is only one. I booked this trip last minute on a Friday to go on the Saturday as the previous trip I booked with another operator was unexpectedly cancelled. The website clearly stated I could still book the trip up to about 12 hours before the start date and time. After receiving confirmation, a few hours later and late in the evening I got a call saying that the trip was canceled for that day (no reason given) and that I could choose another day. So, long story short I ended up going on the Sunday and it was a fantastic day. We were a small group of 3 solo travellers and our tour guide Emmanuel was absolutely amazing! He is so intelligent, knowledgeable and articulate, he made it so much fun! It was a long day but I wouldn’t say it was too much walking, and the mini bus was comfortable and air conditioned. Emmanuel gave us lots of opportunities to take pictures, and was able to answer every single question we had regarding history, geography and culture! We started the day visiting the Umbrella Rock and Boti Falls - both were incredible! We stopped for lunch and continued on with the rest of the tour before returning back to our respective accommodations. All in all I would say it is definitely worth the trip and I 100% recommend. Special credit to Mercy at Tetteh Quarshie cocoa farm who was also so full of knowledge and enthusiasm regarding the process of growing and processing Cocoa. I also want to mention our guide at Aburi gardens, whose name I can’t remember for the life of me! He was so passionate, knowledgeable and just made the tour so interesting and fun. Oh, and if you're thinking of booking, bring comfy shoes, and a water bottle - you'll want to stay hydrated! If you are wondering whether or not to book the tour, I suggest you go ahead! 😊

Brilliant day from start to finish!! We were picked up at 0630am and arrived back at the hotel around 2030pm. We were provided with breakfast, lunch, dinner, fruit, cake and unlimited water and fizzy drinks. John and his team were amazing in showing us the islands, providing us with information and showing us how to snorkel. Couldn’t have asked for more!
