Kayak Tours Lagos
Explore the stunning coastline and hidden caves in Lagos by kayak
Kayaking, along with surfing and SUP, happens to be one of the most popular water sports in this beautiful region of the world. From the exquisite coastline, encapsulating everything that one dreams of (think golden sands and crystal clear waters) to the relaxing feeling of floating atop an entirely separate world, wondering what floats beneath. With the calmness of your kayak, fully immerse yourself, exploring within the grotto caves of Lagos and beyond.
From just one person, families and small groups, kayaking can be as sociable or as individual as you’d like it to be. What’s more, it can be enjoyed by all, no matter what previous experience you have. Our kayak lessons are carried out by incredibly experienced locals that will show you the hidden gems that Lagos coastline has to offer.
Please note: Kayaking Tour costs €40. For this activity, you pay a €10 deposit and make the final payment of €30 in cash down on the beach before departure. For your booking, please check the activity times below in "When is this Activity happening?"

When is the best time for Kayak Tours Lagos?
Water activities in Lagos run from April to October, with the calmest Atlantic and the least wind in May and September. The sea sits around 20 to 23 °C through summer and is at its warmest in September, after the long summer. In July and August the wind usually picks up after lunch, so a morning slot is the calmer option.
How booking works
Kayak Tours Lagos starts at €40 per person. Pick your date, then pay securely with Stripe at checkout. We then confirm your place with the operator. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before. You pay a deposit online to hold the place, and the balance to the guide on the day.
Once we have the booking confirmed with the operator, we email you everything you need for the day. Meeting points move now and then, so the email is always the version to trust.
Booked through the shop, run by locals
We are a booking hub, not the operator: every activity is run by a certified local partner, and we tell you who you are meeting and where before you go. One message reaches a real person here for the whole trip, whether that is an activity, a surf lesson or a board rental for the days in between.
Booking with us also unlocks 10% off products in the shop that week. Retail products only: it excludes selected technical products, and does not apply to lessons, rentals or other activities.
