Aburi Quad Biking and Botanical Garden Tour with Dinner
Charge up into the Akuapem Ridge for a full‑day that pairs a 90‑minute guided quad ride with visits to Aburi’s botanical gardens, a palm‑wine stop and a buffet dinner. Expect dirt tracks, hill views and an easy, locally rooted cultural finish.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring eye protection
Goggles or sunglasses keep dust and small debris out during the quad section.
Closed‑toe shoes and long pants
ATV rides kick up brush and gravel; durable clothing reduces scrapes and keeps you comfortable.
Plan for dust or mud
If it's recently rained, tracks can be slippery; in dry months dust increases—pack a bandana or buff.
Hydrate and eat breakfast
The day is long and active—use the included breakfast to top up energy and carry water for the ride.
