Fun hike and boat ride!

Rithia_B, Jun 2026

This was an easy nice leisurely tour that does not take a most of your day. It is easy to get to the location of activities. Shai Hills was very nice. The rock climbing was so much fun. Afterwards we enjoyed a nice boat ride on the Lake. Our boat became the party boat. Then we enjoyed a delicious buffet meal. Niiiiice!!! Our tour guide and driver was really good.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you for sharing your experience! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the relaxed pace of the tour and had such a great time at Shai Hills, the rock climbing adventure, and the boat ride on the lake. It sounds like the party boat atmosphere made the experience even more memorable! We're also glad you enjoyed the buffet meal and received excellent service from your tour guide and driver. Thank you for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you back for another amazing adventure in Ghana soon.

A great experience, glad we did it.

You have to be mobile and it does require some steep climbing. The views are beautiful in the mountains and on the lake and we learned a lot. The guides were great.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Would definitely do again! Shout out to Peter, Tour Guide

Great Trip with Peter! I was on this excursion as a solo traveler with 2 other solo travelers. This review is about the excursion company not the cruise itself which is operated by a separate company: I was picked up on time, perhaps even a bit early. I was told to manage my expectations in Ghana- that time is flexible. I can offer that the pick up time was confirmed the night before for both tours I booked with this company and the guides arrive in time or a little early- Perfect! The transport vehicle was modern and had excellent AC for this trip. The other trip less modern but still comfortable and cool. The trip was as described. Now that I’ve traveled with a different local tour company, I can compare and contrast the differences- and this was significantly better. The journey was long but comfortable. Cold water came readily. No loud music. Pleasant sounds and smells throughout. Have I mentioned this company was significantly better than others I encountered on my trip to Ghana? Clean bathroom facilities are a must and I recall asking the preferred location to use the bathroom and got helpful advice! Thanks again Peter. Great eatery at the Lake, appropriately, highly recommended. Peter suggested we order first and the food was ready when we got back from the beautiful trip on the water. We weren’t rushed to eat and get back on the road- much appreciated. The handoffs to the site tour guides was seamless. The individuals with whom we traveled the two sites were lovely, informative, friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. 10/10 day trip

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Thank you for such a detailed and thoughtful review! We’re delighted you had a great trip with Peter and that everything—from timely pickup and comfortable transport to smooth coordination and dining—met your expectations. It truly means a lot to hear your comparison and 10/10 rating. We appreciate you choosing us and hope to welcome you again on another tour!

The guide Emmanuel was...

Ian_C, Dec 2025

The guide Emmanuel was fantastic and super helpful. It was great to have power and WiFi in the vehicle. The vehicle itself was really comfortable. The land reserve tour was a bit short. The river boat ride was lovely but also more brief than I expected. It's hard to do a lot in a day, but we spent the majority of the time driving to places as opposed to enjoying them.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re glad to hear Emmanuel took great care of you and that you enjoyed the comfort, power, and WiFi in the vehicle. We appreciate your honest feedback about the timing of the activities—this helps us improve our itineraries to make the balance even better. We're happy you enjoyed the boat ride and will work on enhancing the overall experience. Thank you for touring with us!
