Day trip from Accra
We had a fantastic day! Our guide Emmanuel gave us lots of information on Ghana and its people. We saw the city from the mountains, toured the botanical gardens, visited a cocoa farm, saw a very nice waterfall, had a delicious lunch, saw 3 headed palm and beautiful umbrella rock. Also got stuck in traffic on market day which was a wonderful bonus. I would definitely use this company again!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you had a fantastic day exploring the botanical gardens, cocoa farm, waterfall, Three-Headed Palm, and Umbrella Rock. We’re especially glad that Emmanuel’s knowledge and guidance made the experience even more enjoyable—and that even the market-day traffic became a memorable part of the adventure. Thank you for choosing Expedition-Go Tours and for recommending us. We look forward to welcoming you again.🇬🇭✨

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
From Accra: Waterfalls, Aburi Gardens & Cocoa Farm Day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Accra.
How much does From Accra: Waterfalls, Aburi Gardens & Cocoa Farm Day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $85 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Accra usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does From Accra: Waterfalls, Aburi Gardens & Cocoa Farm Day Tour take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 From Accra: Waterfalls, Aburi Gardens & Cocoa Farm Day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 83 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 130 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 From Accra: Waterfalls, Aburi Gardens & Cocoa Farm Day Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is From Accra: Waterfalls, Aburi Gardens & Cocoa Farm Day Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book From Accra: Waterfalls, Aburi Gardens & Cocoa Farm Day Tour?
+
Around 46 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does From Accra: Waterfalls, Aburi Gardens & Cocoa Farm Day 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.
What are the best things to do in Accra?
+
On Outty we rank every Accra experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Experience the Beauty, History and the Culture Of Accra in a Day, Cape Coast Castle, Elmina Castle & Kakum National Park Day Tour, Accra Guided City Tour: Cultural and Historical Experience. 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.
What is included in From Accra: Waterfalls, Aburi Gardens & Cocoa Farm Day Tour?
+
Included: Wi-Fi onboard; Transportation in a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle; Entrance fee and guided tour at Umbrella Rock; Entrance fee and guided tour at Tetteh Quarshie Cocoa Farm; and Entrance fee and guided tour at Aburi Botanical Gardens. Not included: Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does From Accra: Waterfalls, Aburi Gardens & Cocoa Farm Day Tour include hotel pickup?
+

What languages is From Accra: Waterfalls, Aburi Gardens & Cocoa Farm Day Tour offered in?
+
