Best Tours & activities in Abuja (2026)

Abuja's sights are spread out and some are official sites with security, so an organised tour or local guide makes a big difference, especially on a short visit. Motley Travels, based in Kuje, runs a day-long city tour with hotel pickup that covers Eagle Square, a guided visit to the National Mosque, the City Gate, Nike Art Gallery, a crafts market and Ushafa pottery village, as well as longer itineraries around Abuja and across Nigeria.

On the water, Jabi Boat Club runs pontoon boat cruises, jet skis, kayaks and pedal boats on Jabi Lake, with a lakeside restaurant and themed nights through the week. Late afternoon, before sunset, is the best time for a ride. For something more active, Abuja has a growing hiking scene, and groups such as Naija Adventurers lead large Saturday hikes over the rocky hills around the city, with medics and security on hand. Police have warned against hiking without notifying the authorities, so join an organised group rather than heading out alone. Confirm current prices and pickup times directly with operators before you book.
