Planning your Benagil trip from Lagos

Benagil is about 15 nautical miles east of Lagos, so you’ll need a fast boat for a half day or a full day on a yacht or catamaran.

Half day by speedboat

Snow White and the Cranchi Endurance 39 run dedicated 3 h 30 Benagil trips from Lagos Marina.

Full day

On a full day, the Princess V58 or the Helia 44 catamaran combine Benagil with swim stops and lunch at anchor.

Inside the cave

Access inside the Benagil cave is restricted by the maritime authorities, so your skipper stops at the entrance for the best view, then shows you the other caves nearby.

Best time

Mornings are usually calmer and less crowded along the Benagil coast.
