(P.S. Number 5 will amuse you)
1. Take A Trip To Tinapa Resort
You immediately get the feeling of paradise,? as you pass through the gates of Tinapa Resorts. From the different exhilarating fun facilities available for leisure to the retail and wholesale shops and warehouses available for business on both a small and large scale, Tinapa excitingly integrates business and leisure into one giant wonder-town! Most times you might be looking to go on a vacation and not have to visit several places just so you can have fun and also shop for quality products. Well, Tinapa resorts save you the time and money by bringing all your needs and?interests to one big location. Planted in a serene environment close to the Calabar river, the resort is a little country of everything awesome. This is the ideal place to buy duty-free goods and supplies. With a luxury hotel, cinema, water-themed park and state of the art movie studio, Tinapa Resort is a Tourist's dream.
2. Visit The Drill Rehabilitation Center

3. Bask In The Splendor Of Tortuga Island
Located in the Calabar Marina Resort, this amazing location allows you enjoy a special ?sit-out? experience in any of the three plantation style bars. Situated in beautifully landscaped gardens, these colonially inspired theme bars offer panoramic views of the river. From the first class cocktails to the jungle-style barbecued meat, and the inviting jungle terrain adventure, Tortuga will ignite your curiosity. While you?re there, I suggest you be on the lookout though, Jack Sparrow could just be running around!4. Join The Carnival Parade

5. Experience The 404
Now by ?404?, I am in no way referring to the Peugeot vehicle. This one is pretty much edible. I?m referring to nothing other than Dog-meat. This is a delicacy that is infamous among the Efik people and other tribes across Cross River. Don?t squeeze your face just yet. This remarkable dish ? ?404?, ?J5?, ?Pepperoni? ? is practically a way of life in the state. Apart from being a very delicious delicacy that goes down well with plantain or rice, (just before you say the grace with a glass of beer), 404 is said to have medicinal and nutritional values. The people say that dog-meat is used to drive away evil spirits (an age-long tradition). And the bones used in a certain mixture can help a child learning to walk. Either way, your journey to the city might just not be verified without having a bowl of ?404? soup!6.?Where to Stay During The Calabar Carnival
