Discovering Ghana countryside

JeanLuc_E, Oct 2024

Was a nice day, in particular the trip to Boti. Going out of the city and discover the coutryside, villages. Cocoa Farm was interesting but more of a mini garden surrounded by the city. Driver and guide were very helpful and flexible.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Thank you so much for your feedback on your experience with Nyonkopa Eco Tours.

One of the Best Tours I’ve ever been on!

Shawn_B, Sep 2024

All the tour guides were extremely knowledgeable and very hospitable. The village scenery along the way was a great experience. The tour driver Michael was helpful and beyond. He was an outstanding tour guide/driver. BEST Tour Ever! Wish all of them the very best.

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Hello Shawn, we do appreciate your candid opinion a lot. Thank you so much

A MUST for Nature Lovers!

Carmelle_B, Sep 2024

Possibly my favourite tour! Our guide, Michael/Kofi and driver were wonderful and every on site guide along the way, from the Botanical Gardens to the Cocoa Farm, were wonderful! My absolute favourite moment of our stay was the Boti Falls forest hike (about two hours) followed by bathing in the lake right under the waterfall! I’d give the hike a 6/10 in difficulty, as there were some steep rocky portions but Michael was helpful in guiding our steps carefully! Bring hydration packets and good shoes! The Hike made the Bathe under the Falls even more rewarding and worth it! While we heard that in December dry season the falls are often dried, We were here during the end of rainy season (it didn’t rain once while we were in Ghana) so that falls were full flow! Keep that in mind if you are planning during Detty December.

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Dear Carmelle, thank you so much for choosing Nyonkopa Eco Tours. We do appreciate your time and energy

Amazing

Rosalind_D, Sep 2024

Christian and Isaac, Picked us up on-time and road us out to the cocoa farm, the umbrella tree and the BOTI Waterfalls. It was a safe ride and we enjoyed the day immensely.

Hello Rosalind, thank you so much. We do appreciate your time and energy.

Overpriced Trip To Aburi Gardens & Tetteh Quarshie Cocoa Farm

Sax_C, May 2024

Unfortunately we couldn't make it to Boti Waterfalls as one of us was not well enough to go on a long trip required to get there, so that has affected the rating, although not much. It was great walking around Aburi Botanical Gardens, and the guide was very knowledgeable and brought the history to life. To be fair, this was a trip where we could have just hired a car with a driver for the day to get there, which would have been a third of the cost of the whole trip (even if we included going on to the waterfalls). Tetteh Quarshie Cocoa farms wasn't worth it at all. There was nothing to see. All in all, way, way over priced for what it was. This wasn't a good investment but you live and learn!

Response from Host, Jul 2024

@Sax_C we do appreciate your concerns and will do our very best to improve for a better future. Thank you.

Exceeded my expectations

Millicent_J, Feb 2024

This tour exceeded my expectations! I was promptly picked up from my hotel and was warmly welcomed by my tour guide Isaac. He was very friendly, attentive and clearly explained every steps of the tour. He even explained some main sights and places we drove by without me asking. I had a very good experience with this tour company I will definitely return to Ghana and I will definitely use this tour company again! Thank you so much Isaac for making my tour a memorable one .

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Hello Millicent, We do appreciate your review. Thank you.

Waterfall me please!!!!!!

Ramiqa_H, Jan 2024

This was done on our third day in Ghana. Let me tell you this was our favorite experience of them all. We went to the garden which had us in awe of the land. Our tour guide and driver understood the assignment and made sure each moment and understanding of the land was covered. We learned about the cocoa farms and had great tours for both. The highlight was the waterfall!!! I got all the way in trying to take in the entire experience! They didn’t know it was our 15 year anniversary but they pulled out all the stops on this tour and we got many photos from the experience … the all is not allowing me to upload 🥺 The best best part was our driver! He was super safe and did not run over the million holes and gravel while we were on board. We really appreciated his safety during the day. Must do!!!!

Beautiful experience

Ronale_M, Dec 2023

Isaac was my tour guide and he was great. He was very knowledgeable and took awesome pics of me. The garden was so beautiful and nice to learn about all those trees. Cocoa tasted great. The waterfalls was beautiful. The canoe ride I enjoyed.

Unbelievably amazing.

Charity_K, Nov 2023

Had the most amazing time with my tour guide Kofi. He was very helpful and informative. It felt like hanging out with family. Highly recommend him and this experience!!!

Great tour

Christopher_B, Nov 2023

Great experience with the tour and Michael was an awesome guide that really took care of us throughout the whole tour

It’s a hike but great experience!!

Jasmine_B, Jul 2023

Our driver, Michael, was so kind and the main reason we survived the tour lol. I didn’t read the fine print when I booked AT ALL. I booked it for me and my mother, but I didn’t realize that a hike would be involved until we were in the thick of it. She’s in her 60s and we are not hikers - far from it. Long story short she made it, I barely did. We (really I) couldn’t make it to the tree unless a rescue team was available to carry me the rest of the way. Thankfully, the small river stream was nearby so I could rejuvenate in the water because I needed all the ancestors to give me strength for the hike back. Michael was carrying our bags, helping us up and down the rocks AND fanning us. I can’t express our gratitude enough for him! Even with my mishap, this was one of our favorite tours. My mother was so proud of her accomplishment making it up to Umbrella rock. We’d definitely book this tour again and make it through that hike in one piece! Beginners should have no problem with this tour though. Thank you for the experience!

What An Active Day!

KRYSTLE_B, Jul 2023

Today was such an active day. And it was full: Botanical Gardens, Cocoa Farm, then Boti Waterfalls. Our guide was Michael and he was very nice and knowledgeable about all things Accra. The ride to the Botanical Gardens was up a mountain. Took about an hour or so. Very scenic views on the drive up. Once inside the Gardens, we had a separate guide that worked at the Gardens whom showed us around. Michael accompanied us every step of the way. The Botanical Gardens was incredibly beautiful. We were headed to the Cocoa Farm next. The farm was about 30 mins from the Botanical Gardens. We learned about the fermentation process for turning the cocoa beans from white to brown. After that, we went to the Boti Falls. Boti was an hour and a half away from the Cocoa Farm. The Boti Falls were AMAZING. We hiked 45 mins up and 45 mins down. It was a tough hike!!!! And I'm in pretty good shape. But I must say, once we were at the top, the view was spectacular. Very well worth it. The path to the waterfall begins once you've descended back down the mountain to the original starting point. Once you are back at the starting point, you walk an additional 250 steps down to the waterfall. Beautiful! It was a jam-packed day with lots and lots of hiking and walking so please please please wear comfortable shoes and clothing. I had a great time and would highly recommend this tour!

Great Experience

Krystal_C, Mar 2023

Isaac was a great host who was very welcoming. The private tour was very personable and allowed for the opportunity to experience other regions outside of Greater Accra. The knowledge learned at both Aburi Botanical Gardens and Tetteh Quarshie Cocoa Farm was enlightening and rewarding, not to mention the unique foliage surrounding the area. The Boti waterfalls were great to see, even with the minimal flowing water. Although the hike was definitely one for the books, traversing rocks, it was well worth the experience and views.
