Caves, Coastline & a Refreshing Swim: A Fun Boat Trip from Lagos
Boatrips-Boat Trips and Tours is a standout boat tour agency in Lagos for travellers who want more than a simple cruise. Departing from Passeio dos Descobrimentos, these trips are designed to feel relaxed and social, with a crew that’s friendly from the first minute and a route that mixes scenery, comfort, and a few adventure-friendly extras.
What people appreciate most is the on-board balance: you get an informative tour with interesting commentary about what you’re passing, but you also get space to enjoy it at your own pace. The team is known for being warm and funny—great for keeping the mood light—while still staying professional when it matters. If anyone starts to feel unwell on the water, the captain steps in calmly and knows how to help, which makes a big difference for first-timers or anyone who’s a bit unsure about boats.
Comfort is clearly part of the experience. Having a bathroom onboard is a practical plus, and the small bar adds that holiday feel—especially on warmer days when you want a cold drink while you cruise. The boat setup is also clever: a larger vessel takes you out along the coast, then a smaller boat is used to get into the caves. That combination tends to give you the best of both worlds—more stability and space for the main ride, plus the up-close access you want when it’s time to explore the rock formations and sea-carved passages.
If you like an active day, the option to jump into the water is a highlight. In early summer the water can still be chilly and the current can be strong, so it’s worth being honest about your swimming confidence and staying close to the boat if needed. Still, for many travellers, that quick dip turns a great sightseeing trip into a full Algarve memory.
Booking is refreshingly simple too, with smooth communication and helpful advice shared upfront—so you know what to expect before you arrive. If you’re visiting during peak season, it’s smart to reserve in advance to lock in the time that best fits your plans.
For a scenic cruise with caves, great crew energy, and thoughtful on-board amenities, Boatrips-Boat Trips and Tours is an easy recommendation for cave tours and coastline fun in Lagos.

8 months agoWe had an amazing time on our tour!! The crew was friendly from the beginning. They gave us an informative tour while also giving us privacy. A bathroom and small bar on board. Having the bigger boat take us out and then the smaller boat to get into the caves was the best move I think. Being able to jump into the water was a huge plus. Going in mid June, the water was cold and the current was pretty strong, so if you are not a great swimmer I would stay close to the boat after jumping in. When someone in our party started to feel seasick, the captain stepped in and helped. He was so patient and knew exactly how to handle the situation and they were feeling better by the time we headed back to shore. Highly highly recommend!!

2 years agoIt was just perfect! The guides were really nice and funny. We had very interesting comments about our surroundings and the cruise was beautiful! I loved it here and would do it again if I could. The cruise is about 1h. I advise to book the ticket in advance.

6 months agoMyself and my friends booked this boat company to do a tour of the caves. Pedro and the team were so helpful when we couldn’t find the boat they answered our call straight away and directed us to it. The trip itself was great, the team had lots of facts and information about the caves. We had a lovely swim and jump off the boat and enjoyed some beers after. We would definitely recommend taking a tour with the guys if you’re in Lagos. Thanks for a fun day!
