The catamaran eases away from Lagos marina and the Atlantic opens like a compact theater of rock and light. Salt air pushes at the rail, cliffs sharpen into honeycombed arches and the engine's low hum becomes background music as the crew points out the first cave mouths.

Protect against sun and glare
Bring high-SPF sunscreen, polarized sunglasses and a brimmed hat—the sun is strong on-deck and reflects off the water.
Stabilize for boarding and swimming
Wear water shoes with good grip for transfer to the support boat and for stepping onto small beaches.
Stay hydrated and pace alcohol
Drink water between alcoholic beverages; a six-hour cruise with activity and sun increases dehydration risk.
Prepare for light seas
If you’re prone to seasickness, take preventive medication or use acupressure bands before departure.
Swimwear and quick-dry layers
Swim under the cliffs and dry off quickly between swims.
