Review of Lagos’s 1-hour Ponta da Piedade boat tour, with grottoes, caves, local guides, small boats, pricing, and practical tips.
“Was an absolute amazing experience! Our skipper/ guide was so informative and took the time to explain about the history of the area, and also how the town was affected by the 1755 earthquake and tsunami. He made sure to point out all the different rock formations along the coast, and took us inside the cave which was awesome! Overall, it was a wonderful experience and amazing to see the coastline up close.”
