It’s awesome. Crew is superior! First time sailing and the small boat into the caves had a great narrator.

Fun!

Christopher_S, Dec 2024

We enjoyed the sailboat and all of the caves. Beautiful views along the coast. We highly recommend the trip.

Experience crew.

Hans_H, Nov 2024

The crew was not only experienced and professional but quite funny as well. It was a good day... For the cost of the trip, receiving a bottle of water would have been a great gesture.

Full large ship sailing experience with fun excursion on smaller crafts to caves

Mark_M, Sep 2024

Perfect way to wrap up our stay in Lagos. Full large ship sailing experience with fun excursion on smaller craft to the caves. Crew was awesome

You are in safe hands on this trip

Lindsay_M, May 2024

I would like to thank the crew and staff on our recent visit to Lagos. I was travelling with my 87 year old father who has limited mobility. The staff arranged for my father to be driven to the departure point and transferred him safely to the boat and we enjoyed our sail and tour of the caves. I would highly recommend this trip to everyone as this was the highlight of our holiday in Lagos.

Great time going through...

Graham_P, Apr 2024

Great time going through the caves and jumping in the water. Definitely recommend this excursion. Thank you

Dolphin viewing

Betsy_S, Oct 2023

The captain and crew were amazing . Very kind. They had a chance to visit with everyone and so hospitable. I’d recommend it. Plus we had some time watching dolphins which was a surprise treat!

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Thank you very much! And yes very lucky, dolphins so close to the shore does not happen every day.

Wonderful way to see the grottos.

Most recommended!! Bom Dia Crew provided great service on board sailing ship towards Punta Piedade and superb skills maneuvering small motorboat around rock formations and thru caves. A quick dive into the ocean was super refreshing! Overall a superb and fun trip!

Sailing Our Way

We had the best time with the Captain & crew! Sailing is the only way go. Quiet, calm and allows you to see and enjoy everything. The skippers all shared information and answered our questions. It felt like family ♥️ Make it a must do!! Doug & Cindy Hatcher
