ITINERARY FOR THE WEEKEND OF JUNE 14 - JUNE 15, 2025

Celebrate the Summer Solstice in Lagos: Coastal Adventures Await!

Celebrate the Summer Solstice in Lagos with a weekend of coastal adventures. From sunrise paddleboarding to luxurious boat tours, embrace the longest days of the year with family-friendly activities under clear skies and warm temperatures.

Embrace the Dawn: Paddle into the Sunrise

As the first light of dawn breaks over Lagos, there’s no better way to start your day than with a serene stand-up paddleboarding adventure. The Sunrise Paddle Tour offers an early morning escape into the tranquil waters of Praia Dona Ana. This tour, available from 5:00 AM to 7:30 AM on both June 14th and 15th, promises a magical experience as you glide through the crystal-clear waters, exploring the stunning natural arches and labyrinths sculpted by the ocean over time.

The highlight of this tour is undoubtedly the visit to the famous “love cave,” where the mineral formations of Ponta da Piedade create a breathtaking backdrop. As you paddle, you’ll be treated to environmental and historical insights, making this not just an adventure but an educational experience as well. The tour is designed for all fitness levels, but remember, you must be able to swim 50 meters.

“Life affirming glorious experience! Highly highly recommend.. - Such a beautiful experience. Very early start but worth it to beat the summer winds and the crowds. We were the only people on the water and it felt like we had the whole universe to ourselves, although it felt and looked like heaven floating atop the still water, with the sun rising in the western sky on the horizon. Truly life affirming. Gay was an impeccable, lovely instructor and guide. At ease immediately and felt completely safe. Top top human being. Not to be missed!” - Reviewed on 2019-08-09

Midday Marvels: Luxury Boat Tour

As the sun climbs higher in the sky, it’s time to embark on a luxurious boat tour to explore the breathtaking coastline of Lagos. The Luxury Boat Tour is available from 10:00 AM to 1:30 PM and again from 2:00 PM to 5:30 PM on both days, offering a perfect midday escape. Aboard the elegant Chaparral 256SSI, affectionately named Ariel, you’ll sail past majestic cliffs and enchanting caves, with the possibility of spotting playful dolphins along the way.

This tour is not just about the stunning views; it’s an opportunity to relax and unwind. With ample comfortable seating, an onboard toilet, and a swim platform for easy water access, you can enjoy a leisurely cruise with your family. Feel free to bring your own refreshments and personalize your trip, making it a truly unique experience. Whether you’re swimming, snorkeling, or simply soaking up the sun, this tour promises endless positive vibes.

Evening Strolls and Sunset Views

As the day winds down, take advantage of the long daylight hours to explore the charming streets of Lagos. With sunset not until 8:55 PM on June 14th and 8:56 PM on June 15th, there’s plenty of time to wander through the historic city center, where cobblestone streets and vibrant markets await. Discover local crafts, indulge in delicious Portuguese cuisine, and let the warm, welcoming atmosphere of Lagos envelop you.

For families, a visit to the local beaches is a must. The gentle waves and golden sands provide the perfect setting for children to play and explore. As the sun sets, gather your loved ones for a picnic on the beach, watching as the sky transforms into a canvas of vibrant colors. It’s the perfect way to end a day of adventure and exploration in this beautiful coastal town.
