Introduction

Ready for a day that’s anything but ordinary?

Swap the city for the rainforest, take on Ghana’s famous treetop bridges, cruise along the Atlantic coast and discover the powerful stories behind two of the country’s most historic castles.

Your adventure begins at Kakum National Park, where seven suspended bridges take you up to 40 metres above the forest floor. Feel the thrill, enjoy the incredible views and see if you’ve got the nerve to cross them all!

Then it’s off to Cape Coast and Elmina for a change of pace. Explore centuries-old castles, uncover stories that shaped the world and experience an important part of Ghana’s history.

With rainforest thrills, coastal scenery, local flavours and meaningful discoveries, this is one epic day out.

Grab your favourite adventure buddy, pick a date and let’s Waka!

Swap the city for trails and waterfall chills on our Aburi ATV & Waterfall Adventure. Ride a quad bike, explore on foot and unwind by the falls with a fun crew. Bring your friends or come solo. We’ll take it from there.
