Very nice walk, Guide not very talkative but who made us pass through a lot of caves. The tour ends on a beach, In my opinion a bit useless, still prefer the experience in kayaking because by boat unfortunately you will not be able to enter most of the caves

Our guide took us through so many small caves and arches. He led us down close to the coast so we could see all the details. He didn’t rush us so we had time to enjoy the beauty and take pics. They provide a dry bag so you can bring your bag with you or they have lockers. They tow you back with a boat so you only paddle one way. We absolutely loved it. It was convenient to book online.

Booking through GYG was problem-free, I booked in advance in the evening and the guide had everything ready at 9 a.m., I just had to give our name. On our tour we were 7 participants, 4 kayaks in total. There are lockers on site to stow valuables and clothing, etc. We were well instructed and started on time. The guide had told some interesting stories about Lagos and the caves, we paddled into some of them before we could chill on a lonely beach for 20 minutes. We were pulled back by a boat, that was really nice :-) All in all, very recommendable!
