From Ajah Market, walk to the nearest main bus stop on the Lekki-Epe Expressway. Look for a 'Lekki' or 'Obalende/CMS' bound Danfo.
Alight at Lekki 1st Roundabout (Ebeano/Ikate). Cross the road if necessary and board another 'Ikoyi' or 'CMS' bound Danfo. Confirm with the conductor if it passes 'Admiralty Way' or 'Link Bridge'.
Alight at the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge entrance (Admiralty Way). You might need to walk a short distance across the bridge to the Ikoyi side exit. From there, look for a Keke Napep or shared taxi going towards Falomo or directly to Banana Island.
From Falomo Roundabout, negotiate a Keke Napep or a traditional yellow taxi directly to your specific destination within Banana Island or the main gate.
Travel during off-peak hours (10 AM - 3 PM) to avoid severe traffic.
Always confirm your destination with the conductor before boarding.
Keep small denominations for bus fares.
Be aware of your surroundings, especially at crowded bus stops.
Bargain politely for Keke/taxi fares, especially if it's not a metered service.
The cheapest way is to use a combination of commercial buses (Danfo) for the majority of the journey and then a Keke Napep or shared taxi for the final leg into Banana Island.
Depending on traffic conditions (which can be severe in Lagos), the journey can take anywhere from 1.5 hours to 3 hours or more using commercial transport. A direct ride-hailing service might be slightly faster but is still subject to traffic.
No, commercial Danfo buses do not enter Banana Island. You will need to take a Keke Napep, traditional taxi, or ride-hailing service for the final stretch from Falomo Roundabout or the Ikoyi Link Bridge area.
Expect to budget between ₦8,000 and ₦15,000 for a ride-hailing service (Uber/Bolt) from Ajah Market to Banana Island, especially considering stabilized but higher inflation compared to 2024 and potential surge pricing.
