Small group of 7 on boat so lots of room. Enjoyed the scenery and going into and under the caverns. Some English descriptions but really about the views! We walked the area in the morning and so was great to see from the water in the afternoon!

Excellent tour and great value for money! The guide has a great knowledge of the coastline and gave some history of Lagos. Both guide and captain were extremely friendly and went out of their way to make sure we had the best trip. Thanks again!

A beautiful experience and so worth the money. I have already recommended to family/friends. I will be back for sure!

Easy to locate and very informative experience. My teenagers enjoyed!

It was really amazing and the crew was funny and polite.
