Lagos: Makoko Floating Community Tour｜Nigeria

Please kindly recheck the pickup details, meeting point, and session time stated on the voucher for your selected package.

Explore the Makoko community in Lagos, the world’s largest floating village, whose residents live principally in stilt houses on the water. Discover Lagos’s own Venice on this guided canoe ride through the watery fishing neighborhood, built on stilts overtop canals.

The area is home to at least 850,000 people, although some estimates indicate closer to 1,000,000 floating city dwellers. Our local tour guide will educate you about the history of the community and why they decided to settle on water. This trip gives you an opportunity to learn about the day-to-day lives of the people, how they cope with the rainy season, their occupations, and much more.
