Lake Volta
Laboma Beach
If you're looking to save a few bucks, I suggest bringing your own snacks and drinks... The beachside vendors can be a bit pricey, and the local market has great deals

I recommend arriving before 10 AM to grab the best sunbeds and enjoy the beach before it gets crowded. Trust me, the early bird gets the views.

My advice is to try the local jollof rice at the nearby eateries; it's delicious and won't break the bank. Just be careful of the spice level if you’re not used to it!
Aburi Botanical Gardens

Check the weather beforehand! I didn’t and ended up caught in a rain shower. A little umbrella would have made my visit much more comfortable and enjoyable.

If you enjoy walking, take the time to explore all the trails at a leisurely pace. I rushed through thinking it was a simple walk, but the hidden gems are worth spending more time on!

I suggest visiting on a weekday instead of the weekend to avoid crowds; it makes the experience so much more peaceful and enjoyable. I went on a Saturday and it was packed!
Bojo Beach

If you're planning to jet ski, get your tickets in advance. It was sold out when I got there. My advice is to visit around 10 AM to secure your spot.

Don't forget to bring some snacks or a picnic! The food options can get super pricey, and we ended up eating way more than we wanted to

I suggest checking out the beach bar's happy hour; you can get drinks for less than half price from 3 PM to 5 PM. It made our time much more enjoyable!
Labadi Beach

Be careful with the sun! I got pretty burned because I didn't reapply sunscreen. I suggest bringing a hat and some good shades to stay comfy while enjoying the view

Visiting around 5 PM was bettr than the afternoon! The sunset is stunning then, and it’s less crowded. Bring a camera to capture those Instagrammable moments!
If you're planning to eat at beachside shacks, try and bargain a bit! I found that prices weren't fixed, and I saved some cash that way. Plus, the jollof rice is seriously delish!

Check out the local market nearby before you hit the beach! I stumbled upon some amazing handcrafted jewelry and souvenirs that were way cheaper than at tourist spots.
Kakum National Park
Legon Botanical Garden
Akimota Forest

I think it's better to visit during the mornings like around 8 AM. The heat isn’t too bad then plus you get to see more wildlife roaming around. I wish I had known this earlier!
Afadjato

My advice is to get there by 7 AM to avoid the crowd... We went around that time, and it was way more peaceful, plus we caught an epic sunrise view... Just bring a flashlight if you’re planning to start early!

I think you should bring some snacks and water before you head up. There's not much available on the trail, and the trek can get pretty tiring. Trust me, you don’t want to be halfway up and wish you had something to munch on.
