5.00After my first kayak tour with Blue Fleet, the experience was so amazing and fun that I immediately booked another trip for the very next day. While the stunning coastline and caves of Lagos were unforgettable, what truly made both experiences so memorable was the crew. I was traveling solo, and on both trips the guides paired up with me in the kayak, making me feel less like a customer and more like part of the team. Their energy, humor, and genuine hospitality turned a great excursion into one of the highlights of my entire trip. A huge thank you to Michael, Gonzalo, and Rodrigo for making my time on the water so special. Their passion for what they do was evident throughout the tours, and they created an atmosphere that was welcoming, fun, and engaging from start to finish. When I return to Lagos next year, I will absolutely be booking with Blue Fleet again. And if I'm lucky, I'll get to see my boat crew once more. Thank you for the memories—I can't wait to come back!
Just Wish We Could Have Paddled Longer!

5.00This was a great experience and a fantastic way to see Ponta da Piedade. The tour takes you by boat from the harbor to the cliffs where you then get in the water in your kayak. Most kayaks were tandem, but there was at least one single kayak in our group. You follow the guide into a couple different caves, coves, and grottoes where you have a chance to sit and admire the scenery. Despite some stronger than usual winds when we went out, much of the time we were sheltered from the wind and the paddling was pretty easy. My only complaint is that I didn't want to get back in the boat at the end I was having so much fun! I highly recommend getting the earliest launch time since things get crowded later in the day and it seems like the winds typically get stronger too. There are no lockers, but you can take a bag with your valuables on the boat that are kept in a cabin. These are self draining, open kayaks so you will get wet. Dress appropriately and make sure any camera or phones are protected. When we went it was pretty cool in the morning on the trip out so we wore extra layers before getting out to paddle. If you are coming by car, there is a small paved parking lot next to the meeting location that fills up quickly, but there is a large gravel lot just next to it that provides more parking options (although it got crowded as the day went on too).
Fun activity

5.00Nice trip with Kayak. Go early because then you will be the first in the water and you do not have to sail a traffic jam.
The tour was very nice! We had a lot of fun! We would recommend them further. The support was very good.

5.00It was very beautiful! It is not exhausting! We were able to experience impressive coastal sections and rock formations with caves, openings, and "sky holes." Our guides were very friendly and helpful. The combination of the ship and kayak tour is great.
Super beautiful!
