Nice change of pace – see the countryside!
After a week full of work, we had “Big Ben” himself take us out of the bustling city of Accra for a little sightseeing in the countryside. On the way out he kept us entertained with interesting local context and educated us in local customs and courtesies. The first stop was the Aburi Botanical Garden where we got a tour from the very knowledgeable docents. Beautiful park! Next, we went to see the oldest cocoa farm in Ghana – Tetteh Quarshie - and got to take part in pod harvesting as well as watch a demonstration of how the beans are prepared up until they go to the roasters. Tasting fresh cocoa nibs was a treat and I did end up buying a lot of chocolate. Last stop was a beautiful waterfall – quite a sight! I would definitely recommend this tour and Big Ben!
Response from the operator: Hello Andy, please thank you so much for booking our experience and thank you for the wonderful review and we're very happy knowing you and your colleagues enjoyed your experience with Bigbentours1gh. Thank you

So nice I booked Emmanuel twice!!
EMMANUEL! EMMANUEL! EMMANUEL! I can’t say enough about his expertise and kindness and he was so nice I booked him twice! Booked him on the city tour and while I was there asked if I could get him in Koforidua several days later! He designed a trip that got me to see multiple water falls and gardens, umbrella rock, the three headed palm tree and a cocoa farm where I fought some delicious chocolate to take back home He’s also a great photographer, he could have a second career as that!!
Response from the operator: Hello, please thank you so much for booking our experiences and we're very happy knowing you enjoyed your experience with us

Serene Experiences in Nature
The botanical gardens were like magic. The area was clean and well maintained by the community. It was clear that love goes into maintaining the environment. Our guide, Maxwell, was very knowledgeable. It felt like taking a walk through the forest with a favorite uncle who knows each tree and plant personally. Boti falls was a great experience. For older travelers be prepared for the 250 steps to the fall. But the falls are worth it. It was dry season so the falls were not as spectacular as they are at other times of the year. But we the area was peaceful. Edwin, our guide, explained where the falls got it's name and that the area was commissioned by Kwame Nkrumah. Edwin also takes the most fabulous pictures.
Response from the operator: Hello, please thank you for the nice review and we're very happy knowing you enjoyed your experience with Bigbentours1gh and we look forward to meeting you again in the future

Don’t miss this opportunity!
We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to the Botanical Gardens and Waterfall. Ben is an excellent guide and he made certain that all of our questions were answered. We did multiple tours with Ben and he insured that each experience was maximized. If you’re in Accra definitely reach out to Ben!
Response from the operator: Hello, please thank you for such a nice review and i hope to see you ladies in the nearest future. Thank you

Great tour Guide, amazing experience!!
I initially used Big Ben Tours for the the Accra City tour, and Ben was such a great host I also used his services to see the Aburi Gardens and Boti Waterfalls. Ben was very knowledgeable about the history of Ghana and provided lots of insight into the culture, language and historical events. Professional at all times, the tours were also a lot of fun and highly engaging. I would highly recommend Big Ben Tours!
Response from the operator: Thank you for this great review and I'm very glad knowing you did enjoyed your experience with Bigbentours1gh. And I hope to see you again in the nearest future.

How much does Explore Aburi Botanical Gardens, WaterFalls And Cocoa Farm Tour. cost?

How long does Explore Aburi Botanical Gardens, WaterFalls And Cocoa Farm Tour. take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Accra is not rushed.
Is Explore Aburi Botanical Gardens, WaterFalls And Cocoa Farm Tour. worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Accra, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Explore Aburi Botanical Gardens, WaterFalls And Cocoa Farm Tour.?
+

Is Explore Aburi Botanical Gardens, WaterFalls And Cocoa Farm Tour. suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Explore Aburi Botanical Gardens, WaterFalls And Cocoa Farm Tour.?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Accra can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Accra and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Explore Aburi Botanical Gardens, WaterFalls And Cocoa Farm Tour. start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Accra within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Accra?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Accra?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
