Boat to Tarkwa Bay in Lagos costs NGN 3000–5000 where residents buy it, and NGN 5000–10000 in the parts of the city built around visitors. That is roughly 100% more at the top end, or about NGN 7000 lost on a single purchase if you happen to buy at the worst place on the worst street. These figures were last reviewed in October 2026.
The published fare and the fare offered to an arriving visitor in Lagos are rarely the same number. Using the official app, meter or ticket machine removes most of the spread on its own.
Treat NGN 5000 as the ceiling for a fair price in Lagos, with NGN 4000 as the everyday midpoint. Quotes at NGN 10000 are not scams in any legal sense — they are simply priced for someone who will not check.
For context inside Lagos itself: of the 15 things we price here, jollof rice carries the widest visitor markup (NGN 1500–3000 locally against NGN 3500–7000), while fried plantain is priced most consistently across the city. Boat to Tarkwa Bay sits closer to the problem end of that scale, so it is worth checking before you buy.
None of this is unique to Lagos — it is how pricing works across most of Nigeria — but the size of the gap is local, and it is large enough here to be worth thirty seconds of attention before you hand over money.
