5.00A spectacular experience from start to finish! We did the kayak tour with BoomShaka and we couldn't be happier. From the pickup to the end of the excursion, everything was perfectly organized. The place is simply marvelous and makes the experience even more special. Both the boat guide and the kayak guide were incredible: very attentive, kind, professional, and always ensuring that we enjoyed ourselves and felt safe. The treatment was exceptional. Without a doubt, a completely recommendable experience. If you are thinking about taking this excursion, do not hesitate. We would repeat it without a second thought!

5.00Awesome hour tour with Lukas and Ricci ! They take time to explain the history and showing you the best spot along the coast of Lagos. Recommanding the small boat with your familiy, it was an intimate moment with our loved ones!
Small group - the best personalized tour.

5.00David took us on a wonderful tour to see a coastal line up close. The pickup spot, the fast ride to the caves, the kayaking through the caves, and swimming in the ocean - all was wonderful and well organized. We had just 5 people, which made the experience easy and personalized. We are taking great photos with memories attached back home, and dream of coming back to the caves once again.
Highly recommendable

5.00We had a fantastic time on the cave kayak tour in Lagos. Even though it was quite windy, the trip was still great fun and very enjoyable. Our guide, Gabriel, was enthusiastic, friendly, and knowledgeable. He had interesting stories and information about every cave and rock formation we visited, which made the experience even more memorable. We did the tour with our two children, aged 9 and 11, and it was absolutely manageable for them. The pace was comfortable, and Gabriel made sure everyone felt safe and included throughout the trip. A great way to explore the coastline and caves around Lagos. Highly recommended for families with children!

5.00We had an amazing experience on this tour! The guides were incredibly knowledgeable, kind, professional and fun throughout the entire trip. The boat was extremely clean and very well-kept, which made the experience even more enjoyable and comfortable. We learned so much about the caves and the local history, and you could tell the guides genuinely cared about making the tour special for everyone. One of our favorite parts was being able to jump off the boat and swim at the end of the tour - such a fun bonus! We also really appreciated that the group size was smaller, so it never felt crowded or rushed. Everything was smooth, relaxing and well organized from start to finish. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting the area!
Last minute cave tour, loved it!
