Stand-Up Paddleboarding Tour
A Stand-up paddle tour (SUP) along the cliffs is one of the most popular activities to do in Lagos and definitely something you should not miss!
Stand-up paddleboarding is much easier to learn than regular surfing. This makes it more accessible to those who may have found regular surf lessons too much. With similarities to kayaking, you get to enjoy that floating feeling as well as the opportunity to explore hidden caves & beaches around Lagos with ease. Here at Jah Shaka, we provide SUP tours for those who want professional guidance. We offer a variety of tours too so no matter what you’re looking for, we have something for you.
- Sunrise SUP Tour Lagos Caves – This tour will take you supping away from the tourist at one of the calmest times in the morning during the sunrise, the most magnificent time of the day. You’ll also enjoy the grottos and caves; a unique way to see the famous cave without the hustle and bustle.
We also offer stand-up paddleboard rentals in Lagos at competitive prices for those who want the freedom to explore at their own place. Enjoy the amazing views of the grottos in Lagos and explore the caves and beaches of our beautiful coast line for as long as you like.

Where we meet, the best months to go, and how a booking with Jah Shaka works.

When is the best time for Stand-Up Paddleboarding Tour?
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
Stand-Up Paddleboarding Tour starts at €55 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.
