Accra Quad Biking ATV Trails and Asenema Waterfalls

Ride through farms and forests, then swim at the waterfall

A full-day quad biking adventure from Accra that starts at Aburi Botanical Gardens, moves through the Aburi Mountains, then puts you on automatic ATVs for trails through local farmland and streams before ending at Asenema Waterfalls and lunch at Peduase Resort. No riding experience is required; training and all safety gear are provided, and the guide speaks English, French or German.

The Experience

The day starts at 7:00 AM with a walk through Aburi Botanical Gardens, where you move through the plant collections at your own pace before heading to the Aburi Mountains for views back toward Accra. From there you drive to the ATV trails. The bikes are automatic—no clutch, no gears to think about—and if you've never ridden before, the operator runs through the basics before you head out. Rain or shine, the trails stay open; water and mud are part of the ride, not a reason to cancel.

Once on the trails, you navigate through local farms, streams, hills and valleys on your own bike. The route passes palm wine vendors along the road where you can stop for a taste of the local drink. The pace is yours to set, and the countryside around Accra opens up in a way the city roads never show. By midday you reach Asenema Waterfalls, where the cascading water gives you a place to cool off and rest after riding.

Lunch happens at Peduase Resort, a quiet spot where you eat local and international dishes before heading back to Accra. The full day runs about eight hours from pickup to drop-off. Bottled water and snacks travel with you, and all safety equipment—helmet, protective gear—is included. Children from age 5 can ride their own bike; younger kids sit with an adult on a single machine.
