Walk from B Close to the Banana Island Gate/Roundabout. Keke Napep (tricycles) might not be allowed to enter the inner parts of Banana Island, so you'll likely need to meet one at the gate.
From the Banana Island Gate, negotiate with a Keke Napep driver for a 'drop' (direct, private trip) to your specific location on Ikoyi Club Road. Always confirm the price before starting the journey.
The Keke Napep will take you through Banana Island Road, Turnbull Road, Gerrard Road, Osborne Road, Mobolaji Johnson Road, and finally to Ikoyi Club Road.
Arrive at your destination on Ikoyi Club Road.
Always negotiate the fare with the Keke driver before starting your trip. There are no fixed prices for 'drop' services, and prices can vary based on time of day and demand.
If you're traveling during peak hours or heavy rain, expect higher fares.
Ensure the Keke Napep looks well-maintained and has at least one working headlight if traveling at night for safety.
Walking the entire 6.3 km from Banana Island to Ikoyi Club Road is generally safe during the day, especially along the main roads. However, it's a long walk and not recommended during peak traffic, very hot weather, or at night due to limited street lighting in some areas and general safety considerations.
For this route, key areas to look for public transport would be around the Banana Island Gate, along Osborne Road (look for 'Osborne Bus Stop' or vehicles bound for 'Falomo Roundabout'), and near the Ikoyi Club Road junction. There aren't many named 'bus stops' in the traditional sense directly on Banana Island, but rather common pickup points along the main routes.

Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:30 AM) and late evenings (after 7:30 PM) usually offer the quickest travel times. Mid-day (10:00 AM - 2:00 PM) can also be less congested. It's best to avoid peak hours: 7:00 AM - 9:30 AM and 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM, as the 10-minute estimate can easily turn into 30-60 minutes.
Safety Rating
Medium. While this route passes through generally secure, high-end areas, general Lagos safety precautions apply. Always be aware of your surroundings, especially at bus stops or when waiting for transport. Avoid displaying valuables openly. 'One-chance' incidents are less common on this specific route but staying vigilant is always wise.
BRT / Rail / Water
No direct BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) or rail services are available for this specific short route within Ikoyi. Your best bet for public transport will be Keke Napep (tricycles) or shared minibuses (Danfo) from main roads.
