Since the 10th of September 2023 access has been banned to the Benagil cave for swimmers. Vagabundo Travel don’t like fun police, swimming was great for 7 years, but we now have 2 x 2-seat kayaks. The authorities have now completely banned standing on the sand inside the cave. You will however get a pretty spectacular look at the cave from the comfort of a kayak.
Our kayaks are quicker than the ones rented at Benagil and as we include transport to and from Lagos, beer and sangria and a picnic lunch it really is a no brainier. The kayak trip is dependent on weather conditions. On the odd occasion, waves at Benagil mean the lifeguards put up either a yellow or red flag and we are not permitted to use our kayaks. We will endeavour to inform you if this is the case prior to your booked trip.

Jah Shaka surf shop is very centrally located in the old town of Lagos. Great if you can be at the starting point at 13.55 to meet the others joining you on the tour
