Ports are always hubs for those who want to have great panoramic views of the water fronts. Anywhere that we find ports in the world, there are always commercial and tourist activities happening around it. In Nigeria, we have some cities that have been blessed by Mother Nature with massive waters that have been transformed to ports. Some of the cities in the country that have ports include;

Port Harcourt

Water seems to surround the city of Port Harcourt. It was once a port for the colonial masters before the independence. It has become a major sea port for importers and exporters in the country. If you want to have a lovely moment mesmerized with huge cargo ships and containers, you can visit the port here.

Lagos

Lagos comes first before Port Harcourt in major water activities. It is here that you would find the center of commercial activities in the country from around the world. Sometimes, the sights of these ships can be intimidating. It does not take you anything to visit the ports in Lagos. Tourists come here to see a lot of movements in and out of the country. For the kids, they are always going to be fascinated about the sizes of the ships and their honks from afar.

Uyo

Uyo, may not be a major port situation in the country but it has a port that you would love to see. The huge expanse of the Atlantic Ocean is magnificent and leaves you breathless when you the oil companies’ ships.

Calabar

Just like Uyo, Calabar is blessed with massive waterfronts that you will want to see. The port here is busy and there are so much that you can do here. It may not be as busy as you want it to be but sure, it is a place to be.

Bonny

Finally, we have the kingdom of Bonny that only the strong can visit. You can either use a helicopter or you make use of the speed boats. The speed boats are the popular means of transport here. The port in Bonny is historic and has so many relics of the past to present to you. If you love water, you will love Bonny and its port.
