Would book with them again! - Isaac and Emmanuel were excellent guides on this tour. Isaac was knowledgeable and accommodating and Emmanuel was able to get us to and from safe and sound especially when going through areas with difficult roads. They were professional and I felt safe traveling as a solo woman. The tours were amazing and I would recommend anyone interested to book with them. Thank you guys for an amazing time!

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

A MUST for Nature Lovers! - 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.

Amazing - 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.

Simply Amazing - Our tour was amazing! First to the botanical garden where we took so many pictures and the guide was so knowledgeable then we were off to the cocoa farm. Both were amazing but NOTHING can compare to the Boti Falls!
I was afraid of the steps but I was able to concur them down and back up!
The falls were peaceful and beautiful and simply amazing!
My husband and I took so many pictures for memories of Ghana!
So happy we booked this tour and Michael was awesome! He stopped and got us local snacks, water and fruit on the way home!
Overall we would give this a 10 rating!!!!!

Highly Recommended! - We really enjoyed the outing. Kweku, our tour guide, greeted us with a big smile and friendliness. He was personable, knowledgeable, and willing to answer our questions. I loved experiencing the Boti Falls. We were offered a canoe ride, but I preferred to enjoy it from the beach area. The Umbrelle Rock excited me, and the pics made my husband and I adventurous! Kweku did a good job of explaining each of the points of interest as well as how much exertion would be needed. For example, to get to the waterfalls, Kweku told us there would be 250 steps down and back up. The roads are very, very rough for much of the travel. However, the driver maneuvered like a professional! Highly recommended!

Fascinating Experience!!! - This tour was absolutely amazing. Our tour guide Kweku was wonderful. He was very informative, kind and he made sure we were comfortable the entire tour. The views at the umbrella rock were absolutely breathtaking. The cocoa farm was extremely informative and you actually get an opportunity to taste the cocoa. Experiencing the waterfalls was an indescribable experience that you must experience for yourself if you visit Ghana. When you Ghana you must book this tour, you will not be disappointed.

Highly recommended (for solo female travellers)! - I did the Boti Waterfalls Tour and the Shai Hills Reserve Day Tour with Isaac. I can not recommend both tours highly enough! I am a solo female traveller and my guide Isaac made me feel safe and welcome the entire time. Not only was he very patient, attentive, outgoing, friendly and knowledgeable- he also went out of his way to make me experience ghanian way of life (e.g. stopping by the side of the road for me to taste local baked goods). Apart from Isaac, I also loved visiting the various stops. I will never forget my visit to the Mogo Hill, the Aburi Botanical Gardens or the Tetteh Quarshie Cocoa Farm, where I learned a lot from the various guides. Thanks a lot again for these two memorable days!

Discovering Ghana countryside - 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.

Overpriced Trip To Aburi Gardens & Tetteh Quarshie Cocoa Farm - 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!
