ラゴス：ベナジル洞窟とイルカウォッチングのコンボツアー、海洋生物学者

We had an overall good experience -- we did see dolphins which was a magical experience. Benagil Cave was closed due to the rough sea conditions so we were taken to see other caves. A little bit bummed about that, but understand that this is not within the tour's control. However, there were other drawbacks. First, our booking was rescheduled from 9AM to 12PM which we were not aware of. When we arrived at 9AM, we were informed that a message was sent out a few days before. I must admit we did receive this message, however it was not obvious in the message that the time changed. It simply looked like a confirmation; the only way you would notice the change was by looking carefully at the time and realizing that was a different time than originally booked. Honestly with all the stress from travel, it is easily missed since I booked this weeks/months ago. Some of that is on us, however I would suggest clearly writing "ATTENTION: BOOKING UPDATED/TIME CHANGE" or some very obvious disclaimer to pay attention to a change in our booking. Second, the sea/waves were very rocky that day. Of course the sea conditions are not within the tour's control, however I wish we were told when we were arrived that the sea was rough. Everything ended up being fine, but I definitely felt scared like on a roller coaster ride. For folks who might be more fearful or have more physical limitations, it would have been good to have this information to reconsider.

Whilst weather will naturally have an impact on sea swells, if you've had a good experience chasing or observing dolphins, I would suggest be very cautious before deciding to take this tour. The day we went it was obvious after 20 minutes that it was not only way too rough but the conditions meant dolphin spotting was highly unlikely. Despite this the crew member driving the zodiac kept us out there for 40 minutes before finally conceding defeat but we all had endure a cold wet hammering of spray for our money. If the white caps and swell are obvious but you still think you'd like to experience a form of water torture, then it's your choice to make, if on the other hand your main reason is to see the caves from the water then spend less and enjoy a much better experience, this at least went some way to redeeming our enjoyment.

They canceled the trip due to the forecast of strong winds, offering me to do it another day or refund my money. I opted for the refund and they returned my money in less than two weeks.

Rigid-inflatable boat with 14 people, ideal for tours. The boat allows you to go into a few caves. Driver and guide very friendly and attentive. Going back up the coast after Benagil was top-notch.

This was the best tour, boat had engine more friendly to dolphins. Kids loved the kind of saddle seats the boat had.

Nice guides (marine biologist and skipper), we saw amazing dolphins and they actually came up close to us! And also saw some amazing caves up close. Definitely a must do while in Lagos!

Great experience to see dolphins in their own habitat. The boat trip to the open sea was also impressive. Blast at full speed over the waves. Keep in mind that you can get quite wet. Begali caves are beautiful to experience from the sea. Would have personally liked to spend more time watching dolphins.

We loved it! We managed to see the dolphins and the cave tour was excellent, you don't just go to the Benagil one, you also see others nearby and the coast.

I am going to post my review on Tripadvisor since Google is not publishing it! It makes you think that mixed reviews are not published! The provider sold us the trip with a 99% chance of seeing dolphins. Too bad we were part of the 1% who didn't see them! And we are not the only ones. You really have to be lucky to run into them! And yes, dolphins don't show themselves every day.... The guide did not speak French, contrary to what we had been sold.

We left early at 9 (definitely wear a jacket). Saw dolphins in three places, we were thrilled. The route from Benagil along the coast was also very beautiful. Our skipper got everything out of the boat 😉.
