Take a trip on the Dolphin Safaris RIB (Rigid Inflatable Boat), which leaves from the Lagos Harbour, when we went it cost about 35 euros each but well worth it,The trip last approx 45mins,Taking in the views of the coastline as well,past the grotto's and boats .
Their record for finding the Dolphins is excellent and the boat is very fast with jet engines, this is the only Boat of its class in Europe and was specially built for the role in mind.Being a boater myself I was very impressed with their handling skills, it's very safe. Don't worry about being sea sick, it is very stable and they will assure you that nobody should suffer from sea sickness. (enjoy the ride).
However we did go on one trip when it was rough and to be honest on that occasion it was uncomfortable,they had to cut down the speed, but our safety was always their first concern and they made the decision to come in closer to calmer waters.
When I went to the office expressing my disappointment of not seeing dolphins on account of it being rough,they gave me a good discount for another trip.
The next trip was a better day and we were not to be disappointed.
Best time to go is in the mornings,before the afternoon breeze gets up.
This Boat is very very fast.
The advantage with that is you get to dolphins that bit quicker.

If this is your first visit to Lagos, you simply must take a "grotto tour". Step into a small fishing boat, let your local fisherman be your guide, and witness from the water, the distinctive and magnificent cliffs that surround the Lagos area. It is truly a sight unseen! Your guide will navigate around and under the intriguing rock formations, take you into caves and point out the many secluded beaches that surround the town.
You can take the grotto tour by signing-up with one of the vendors along marble sidewalk in front of town. Alternatively, catch a boat at Praia Dona Ana or at Ponte da Piedad. This tour offers a little variety to your beach day. The fisherman bring the boats right to the beach, and you can generally get a good rate here
Approximately €10 to €20 per person, based on your starting point Leave a Comment Address: Near Harbour EntranceDirections: Depending on the tide they are normally just inside the harbour /you will see their bill boards.

I went out on the Bom Dia for a family fishing trip for 3 hours, had a great time. The crew were very welcoming and knew their fishing. Caught loads of fish including octopus? I never knew you could catch them on rod and line.
A good afternoon was had by all; I can highly recommend a trip out with them they really did look after us...
And what makes that difference is they love their fishing too. Go you won't be disappointed. Leave a Comment Address: Lagos MarinaPhone: Tel: (+351) 282 087 587Directions: Lagos MarinaWebsite: http://www.bomdia.info/ Other Contact: info@bomdia-boattrips.com
