      Great Experience
      This tour was excellent. We loved the opportunity to kayak thru the small caves and crevices along the coastline. Informative tour guide on history and nice to know facts. The brief beach break was beautiful and the way back to marina was fun. I suggest a morning tour as the wind and water was calm. Would highly recommend this tour.

      Had a great time
      Had a great time paddeling through the caves and the way back towed by boat was also very cool! Organization was perfect and we were in the water in no time. The provided equipment including the convient waterproof bag worked nicely!

      Amazing Ocean Cave Kayak Experience
      Our tour guide Bruno was great, very cool and calm which made us feel safe. Being active on the kayak and interacting with nature made the ocean cave tour a surreal experience. Would highly recommend!

      Gorgeous!
      Very nice tour! Guide was excellent and had a lot to say about the place. Good size group. We were the 1st group in the morning and it is probably the best time to go with less traffic on the water.

      Fabulous sea kayak with amazing scenery for all abilities
      Great sea kayak with our guide Pedro. Spoke brilliant English. Good instruction. Looked after all levels. Support boat with us ' just in case'. Had done before, was choppy today but still brilliant experience. Prob 5-6k in total. Going into the grottos/ caves. Stopped for a swim at a beach and then got a tow back. If you are two minds to go .. just do it . Suitable for all.

      Great trip
      Would recommend this trip - took my 2 kids on this and they really enjoyed it. We went quite early at 9.30am and I would recommend this as the grottos can get busy. Early on, it was really quiet and less traffic - from small launches to other kayaker. We'll organised and focus on safety

      Great way to get some exercise, sea air, and a different perspective of the rock formations.
      Great staff, the tour was fun and informative. Nice break from the city! Raphael was wonderful and a Lagos local. Well run company. Very efficient and safety conscious.

      Scenic tour in good company
      Scenic tour in good company. I was slightly wary about entering the more exposed caves with the waves but our guide Ruben seemed relaxed and confident so I decided to trust him. It did work out fine, obviously the powerboats with tens of tourists entering the caves and rock formations at the same time with us subtracted a little from the experience. It was definitely a worthwhile experience, having offered close up sights of rocks, coves and caves you cannot see otherwise. A bench or even just a hook for the clothes in the bathroom would have made changing into dry clothes at the end a lot easier. Overall, pleasant staff, good equipment, flawless execution.

      Disappointed by instructor
      We enjoyed the kayaking, however our instructor kayaked way ahead of us, only told us a few facts and on our way back he was nowhere to be seen, we made our own way back and put our kayaks back onto the beach ourselves. He did not even say goodbye. We were quite disappointed by the end of our experience. Would not recommend due to this.

    My boyfriend and I had a great experience doing the kayak tour around Lagos. Really recommend it above the boat trips as you get to enjoy the views at a slower pace. They checked the wind weather for us so we were able to book a slot to get the best weather (low wind and not midday sun). We did the 10am slot and that was perfect. Wind seems to be a bit cold and over bearing in the afternoons.

    Huge thank you to Tiago our tour guide, who was absolutely brilliant. Super chap.

    This trip was amazing, I couldn’t have imagined how great an experience it was. We were a family of four, I am restricted with my movements as I am a bit inflexible however, I managed to get in and out of Kayak safely,

    We are a family of four, two teenagers who love kayaking, my husband and I enjoy it too, only I am not as fit as them but I was able to do this trip with out to much difficulty ( only second time for me in a Kayak)

    Thiago our guide was funny, kind , considerate, and so knowledgeable, safety was always first and everyone was considerate of each other’s levels and ability of kayaking , we kayaked, sang and laughed whilst seeing the coast line and sea from a unique viewing point.

    Thiago was a great host and made you feel safe and secure which is very important ( especially when you start out and think omg why am I doing this 🤣)

    The weather conditions were perfect going out, the return journey the wind was a bit higher but it didn’t matter as Jorge on the support boat pulled us all back to dry land.

    Bring a change of clothes as you will get wet. Sun cream , hat and water, if you wear glasses you need a sports band because if you fall in you could lose them.

    I recently embarked on the most unforgettable kayak trip in Lagos, and I can't stop raving about it! From start to finish, this experience was an absolute delight. The crystal-clear waters, the stunning coastal landscapes, and the expert guidance of the tour organizers made this journey a true masterpiece.

    Navigating through hidden coves and natural arches, I felt like an explorer uncovering the secrets of Lagos' coastline. The tranquility of the open sea combined with the thrill of gliding along the water was an exquisite blend of serenity and excitement.

    What truly sets this kayak trip apart is the knowledgeable and friendly team. Their passion for the environment and dedication to ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone was evident at every step. Whether you're a seasoned kayaker or a novice like me, they cater to all skill levels with patience and expertise.

    As the sun painted the sky with hues of orange and pink during our sunset kayaking session, I couldn't help but feel a profound connection to nature. This trip is a photographer's dream, with countless photo opportunities that capture the essence of Lagos' breathtaking beauty.

    If you're seeking an adventure that combines nature, tranquility, and a dash of exhilaration, the kayak trip in Lagos is an absolute must! I walked away with cherished memories, a renewed appreciation for the wonders of the sea, and a heart full of gratitude for this extraordinary experience. Don't miss out on this enchanting journey that will leave you in awe of Lagos' coastal marvels.

    All very well organized, you can not pay by ATM But nearby there is an ATM or you can make payment online. Always adjacent to a bathroom. They give you a bag to take with you in a kayak and a safe available to leave your belongings. 35 euros per person, beautiful route between the caves for about 1 h and 40 min, 20 Min to the beach and then they tow you by motor boat. Recommended!

    First part of journey was serene, almost magical. Calm water, beautiful cliffs and caves. Wind started at 10:30 on so did the crowds. Motor boat tours seemed to ignore kayakers and even bumped into me on the way into cave. They assume right of way. Guide tried to keep us safe and planned our entrance and exits when boats weren't right nearby. Different experience when you are the only ones on the water. Not so pleasant when wind and motor boats arrive. This tour was the earliest at 9:30 but more than half the group arrived late so we started late. Too bad. Still first part was very good. Guide took us to caves that are not normally accessible because of water level. Guide explained things along the way but you had to be right behind his kayak to be able to hear his stories. Recommend first tour of the morning, especially with company that leaves before every other one

    This tour is beautiful but was advertised as easy. You kayak through the harbor into the ocean. That is it actually easy. A storm was brewing and ultimately once we were at the caves it was pouring rain, with thunder and lighting. The tour guide was lovely and if the weather had stayed calm it would have great but the fact that they didn’t cancel given the weather predictions was irresponsible. They had a small boat as backup but the pilot was actually bailing out water from his boat! They did tow a group of us back, and some younger, stronger people kayaked back. They can’t control the weather, but I think that it is not a company I’d go with as there were others that had a boat which collected the people and the kayaks once the weather began to change. Certainly, you should experience the caves, but look around at the options.

    We had a very nice tour with this group. We were on the first trip of the day. It was pretty choppy so we couldn't go into all the caves and we couldn't take the beach break. We appreciated that our guide made decisions to keep is safe and always explained why we were going some places and not others.
    We prefer safe approach.
    It is beautiful out on the water, recommend!

    I was also surprised by the behavior of the boats. They get very close to the kayaks and create big wakes. Rude.

    Caves were nice, and tour guide didn’t take risks with us going into the caves when there were waves. However, No knowledge or explanation of surroundings whatsoever. Tour guide made childish jokes and couldn’t really relate/connect with the group. Seemed not interested in the group.

    A good canoe trip with a very warm welcome and support. Everything is well put together so that we can enjoy this walk with sublime landscapes. Some speak French but our guide unfortunately does not, but he always made sure that we understood his explanations in English.
