Review of Lagos’ four-hour catamaran cruise with coastal views, lunch, swimming, paddleboards, an inflatable waterpark, and practical booking tips.
“Very fun experience! The views were spectacular and the boat and crew very nice. The netted area in the back was comfortable and allowed us to relax. The water was still a bit chilly in May (64 degrees/18 Celsius) so only a few swam but they seemed to really enjoy it. The food and drinks were great. On the way back to the marine we saw dolphins which was incredible. Overall, great vibes and a great day! Highly recommend.”
