My Adventurous Trip Across The Lagos Lagoon by travelwaka(op): 8:33am On Nov 27, 2019
Lagos is truly a beautiful place and the city of Lagos boast of so many waterways and the Island. So I have always thought of documenting the beautiful pictures across the Lagos Lagoon. I have been on boats so many times this year and I thought it won't be a bad idea to tour and document these for people to see.
So one of those days I got bored and thought of what to do, then a crazy idea came to mind, let's shoot beautiful pictures across the Lagos. I couldn't contain the joy. I went straight to Ikoyi where I hired a boat. Hiring a boat in Nigeria is one expensive thing, exotic boats are usually billed per hour. So I went for two hours and we set out into the beautiful Lagos coast LOL

Everything on water us totally different from land. Its peaceful at a point, at other points it gets crazy. So check out these beautiful pictures from the Lagos lagoon.

1. the Lagos Marina
2. 1004 Estates from the water side
3. The Oriental hotel
4. The Black Diamond Hotel owned by Mobil

Then we started moving deep into the waterways and some of the giant ships I saw were as tall as 5 to 10 storey buildings and makes you wonder how these giants ship were able to stay afloat.

It depends on the kind of boat. Most cruise boats are more expensive between fourty to hundred thousand per hour but banana boats are way cheaper you can just negotiate with the rider ,
