Lagos's waters
The Lagos bay and the golden pinnacles of Ponta da Piedade, the last great shelter before the wild west coast: that is the setting. Weather-wise: calm mornings below the cliffs, nortada and swell reclaiming their rights past Sagres point — pick the calm morning sea, and the exact area is drawn by the operator at the briefing.
Booking at the right moment
The useful season runs from May to October, the caves best seen at first light. Spots go early: book ahead and aim for the morning slot.
