That's my Island (TOMARO) I live there. That Church is also my church (New Creature Evangelical Church). The village you disembarked from is itu-agan not Snake Island. Snake Island is Igbologun , though it is close by. I used to do that Tarkwabay hiking those days but I have been so busy with work these days to engage in my favorite pastime. I don't think I can trade the life here for the boisterous Lagos city. I am investing over 300k on solar power installation soon to take care of the light issue.

Abeg help me tell dem


This is a place I visit often cos I stay in Apapa vincinty hahaha

I have a friend who stay in sea school island and itu agan island and the main snake island aka igbologun wherr you have Niger dock ship yard

Dear lalasticlala, it's a shame I walked through the valley and shadow of the Snake island without finding your most prized pet.

Not even a monitor lizard cry.

I had to make some reparation by writing your name on the beach and draw the most popular Nairaland celebrity on it grin. Hopefully, you would accept my sacrifice of contrition sir.

Thank you smiley
Lol funny

nonsensse...... I was expecting to see snake island in Brazil.......

Re: A Hiking Experience In Snake Island by deenee: 12:33pm On Jun 25, 2019
Lovely place but no development. In saner climes snake island and all its other adjoining islands would be a high end luxury vacation spot with prime real estate.

God has really blessed us but everything us just upside down.

Nice. I have been to Takwa Bay beach before, but not through your journey route. I went to the beach direct via CMS. lol its a fun beach, but am quite hydrophobic, I mean I fear the sea, so since then I haven't been there. But it was a memorable experience. I will go there someday.

Thank you.

About your investment idea, that's a brilliant one. Actually I submitted a proposal for installation of 0.6MW wind turbine to power same Tomaro Island as part of my final dissertation to the BPMA. Off grid electricity is the best solution for such place. My choice of wind energy is due to the wind speed of the area, mostly influenced by the water surrounding the island.

I've been to the island many times after my hike and I still go there whenever I want some time off from Lagos and her stress.

You really are a good writer, you cook it like food to the savoring appetite of your readers.... I'd definitely pay a visit to that Takwa Bay beach �

I had been looking for an opportunity to visit the beach with no particular one in mind. Fortunately, I was contacted on my last post about a trip to the Lekki Conservation Center ( http://20somethingsteps.com.ng/2019/06/20/the-lekki-conservation-center-a-visit-to-nature/ ) to come for a hiking experience from Apapa, through the Snake Island to the Tarkwa Bay Beach. I agreed and made plans to attend.

So on the morning of the trip, I made it to the Apapa Sea School which was our Converging/take off point to the island. A few hours later, others arrived and soon afterwards, we ready to leave. After a headcount and other formalities, everyone strapped on their safety jackets, boarded the boat and we out set sailing to the Snake island.

I am interested in future hiking trips oo. Who organised it? can u provide a contact ?
