Amazing and so much fun. Staff made sure we were safe going in and out of sea caves. Loved it! Highly recommend.
We had a great trip. We always felt well taken care of. We especially liked the small group, only 11 participants on the trip. We were taken close to the caves by boat and safely let into the water. The explanation was very helpful and all in all a very nice experience I would highly recommend.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Tina! We are thrilled to hear that you felt well taken care of throughout the entire trip. Our boat-supported kayak method is designed precisely to make the experience safe, easy, and comfortable for everyone, bypassing the long and tiring paddles. We also firmly believe that small groups, like your group of 11, create a much better and more personal experience inside the caves. We truly appreciate your high recommendation and hope to see you back on the water with Lagos Adventure in the future! Safe travels! 🛶⚓️ Humberto
Excellent tour with great guides. The views were amazing. There was a lot of emphasis on safety.
This experience was beyond anything we were expecting! The small group adventure was more intimate but having beginner experience, our water guide Ricardo ensured that everyone in the group was safe, having fun and was ready to help when needed! Prior to embarking, we met Humberto who provided us with a pre- safety briefing and we received more on board safety preparation on the boat prior to kayaking. The staff were friendly, extremely knowledgeable and emphasized safety. My husband and I recommend this activity if you are looking for some fun in the water in Lagos!
Thank you so much for this incredible and detailed review, danii-arl! We are absolutely thrilled that our tour went beyond your expectations. At Lagos Adventure, safety is our number one priority, especially for beginners. We are glad that the pre-safety briefings with Humberto in land and on the boat gave you complete peace of mind, and that Ricardo took such good care of everyone on the water. Keeping our groups small is exactly what allows us to create that intimate, safe, and fun environment you described. It was a true pleasure hosting you and your husband, and we highly appreciate your recommendation to the TripAdvisor community! We hope to welcome you back for another paddle someday! 🛶✨ Humberto, Lagos Adventure
The kayak trip was fantastic. The staff was super friendly and they communicated everything we needed to make the tour as great as possible. Kayaking on the water with a small group, going through the caves and viewing the cliffs was spectacular. I would recommend this tour company every time. Thank you!
Dear brian, Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We are thrilled to hear that you had such a spectacular time exploring the cliffs and caves of Ponta da Piedade with us. Our team works hard to ensure clear communication and a friendly environment, so it is wonderful to know that this made your tour even better. Keeping our groups small is exactly what allows us to create these magical and personal experiences on the water. Thank you for your high recommendation! We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back to Lagos in the future. Warm regards, Humberto, Lagos Adventure Team
Such a great experience! We received clear instructions and had a really good guide. I absolutely loved the kayaking itself – being so close to the water makes you experience the coastline and caves in a completely different way than from a large boat. The boat part of the tour was also very enjoyable. Just after the kayaking, while we were already heading back to the harbour, we suddenly spotted dolphins. Even though the tour was basically over, the crew took the boat towards them so we could get a better look. We really appreciated that extra effort! And afterwards, there was another little surprise… I won’t spoil it, but it was definitely worth it. 😊 A fantastic experience that we would absolutely recommend!
Dear Marijnd, Thank you so much for such a detailed and wonderful review! We are absolutely thrilled that you had such a great experience exploring the coastline and caves up close from our kayaks. Nature always has the best surprises, and we were just as excited as you were when the dolphins showed up! Our crew is always happy to go the extra mile to make the trip unforgettable, so turning the boat around to get a closer look at them was a no-brainer for us. 🐬 Let's keep that little extra surprise a secret for our future guests! 😉Thank you for highly recommending Lagos Adventure. We truly hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable day on the water! Warm regards, Humberto, Lagos Adventure Team
Great experience. Traveled as a couple of 3 kids (16,14 &8). The guides were friendly and knowledgeable and made us feel at ease. Never felt unsafe or anything close. Highly recommended. Thank you Humberto, Yago & Joao.

We participated as a group of 4. Super organization, reasonable group size, very good captain, instructor and tour guide. Boat was always close in case of emergency. The guides took free pictures that captured the tour very well. Highly recommended.

I did the kayak tour in Lagos this week with my sister, her 5yo daughter, and my 12 and 14yo sons. It was amazing! I would highly recommend this kind of tour vs the boat rides, which look kind of boring and awkward. We all have some experience with kayaking - mostly on local lakes in the US - but the other family on our trip did not, which made it a little challenging for them. Our tour guide was great, very knowledgeable. My son enjoyed being paired up with him in the kayak. Such a great day!
Dear Danielle, Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience with us! We are thrilled to hear that you, your sister, your niece, and your sons had such an amazing time exploring the magic of Ponta da Piedade. It is great to know you enjoyed the active nature of kayaking compared to the regular boat rides; there really is nothing like getting up close and exploring the caves at your own pace! We will certainly pass on your kind words to your tour guide; your son was a fantastic paddling partner for him! We look forward to welcoming your family back for another adventure in Lagos in the future. Warm regards, Humberto Lagos Adventure Team
