Head to the nearest major bus stop in Ajah (e.g., Ajah Roundabout, Abraham Adesanya, Ilaje/Badore junction). Look for buses heading towards 'CMS' or 'Marina'. Ensure the conductor confirms the destination before boarding. These routes will take you through the Lekki-Epe Expressway, over the Ikoyi Link Bridge (or Ozumba Mbadiwe), through Victoria Island, and onto Lagos Island.

Disembark at CMS Bus Stop, which is a major interchange on Lagos Island. From here, Obalende is a short distance away, but usually requires another connecting bus. You might alight under the CMS bridge or at a nearby designated drop-off point.

From CMS, look for mini-buses (often referred to as 'Korope' or smaller Danfos) or standard Danfos specifically going to 'Obalende'. These vehicles are readily available around the CMS/Marina axis. Confirm the fare with the conductor before boarding to avoid disputes.
