What’s the experience like?

I didn’t expect to start my Lagos day trip standing under a five-story wall of wild colors — but that’s what happened at Nike Art Gallery. The place is huge, honestly, and smells faintly like wood shavings and old fabric. Our guide, Tunde, knew everyone there (or seemed to), and he kept pointing out little details in the paintings I’d never have noticed. At one point, a woman weaving by the window waved me over — she let me touch the rough threads she was working with. I tried to ask her something in Yoruba, but she just grinned and shook her head. I guess some things don’t need words.

After that, we drove out toward Lekki Conservation Centre. The air changed — thicker, greener, almost sweet with humidity. Walking up to the canopy bridge felt like a dare; it’s high up and sways more than you’d think. There were monkeys overhead (one nearly stole my water bottle) and birds everywhere if you looked long enough. Tunde told us stories about the animals here — apparently crocodiles sometimes sunbathe near the boardwalks, though I only saw their tracks in the mud. My legs still felt shaky after coming down from that bridge.

The last part was more relaxed — we got to pick between a Lagos beach or the arts & crafts market. I went for the beach because honestly, I needed to sit somewhere quiet for a bit. The sand was hot underfoot but soft, and there were kids selling roasted corn nearby (I bought some; it’s smoky-sweet). We watched the waves roll in while Tunde chatted with some friends under a palm tree. It wasn’t fancy or anything — just real life happening around us, which is kind of what I wanted from this Lagos private day tour.
