A short Port Harcourt trip is easier when city experiences stay on land and water-based excursions are treated as a separate decision. That avoids making a weekend depend on boat schedules or remote access.
More context
Use a park, a strong Rivers-style meal and a relaxed hotel or leisure block as the core, then add anything farther only if current conditions support it.
