Overview

From bottlenose dolphins and Risso’s dolphins to harbor porpoises and whales, the water near Lagos is home to many sea creatures, but if you don’t know where to look, you may miss out. This Lagos Dolphin and Whale Watching Cruise comes to the rescue—it takes you out on an RIB so you can get near the natural habitats of dolphins and whales to take a peek—and a picture or two.
  • Cruise the water near Lagos and see dolphins and whales
  • Ride in a comfortable rigid inflatable boat (RIB)
  • A guide knows the best spots to see sea life in their natural habitat
  • A late morning start time leaves enough time for a slow morning

    Super

    Super team! Waited until we saw the dolphins - although the time was running out! The speedboat ride was a little scary - but the dolphins made up for it!

    Super moment en famille

    La balade en bateau est juste extraordinaire. Pour les dauphins il faut regarder de partout car on ne sait jamais d’où ils viennent donc prendre une photo relève du challenge. Mais c’était un super moment en famille !

    Response from Host, Aug 2022

    Bonjour Au nom de toute l'équipe de Lagos Grotto Trips, nous vous remercions d'avoir choisi notre entreprise pour faire le voyage d'observation des dauphins, pour votre aimable commentaire et votre note élevée. Meilleures salutations, José Santos Lagos Grotto Trips

    Expérience mitigée

    Panda, Jul 2021
    Malheureusement les dauphins n’étaient pas au rdv. Nous avons pu observé 5 dauphins pendant 2 min puis nous sommes partie à un autre endroit pour faire 1h15 en pleine mer sans rien voir. Je trouve ça dommage de ne pas être resté à l’endroit des dauphins qui étaient déjà là .. surtout pour le prix du billet. Je comprend qu’un dauphin c’est sauvage et on ne leur donne pas de rdv mais quand on en trouve on donne le temps pour prendre des photos ..
