Walk or take a short Keke ride to the main gate of Banana Island.
From Banana Island Gate, look for a Keke or shared taxi heading towards Falomo Underbridge. Confirm 'Falomo' as your destination.
At Falomo Underbridge, alight and cross to the bus stop where Danfos are loading for Lekki. Look for buses going to 'Lekki Phase 1', 'Jakande', or 'Ajah' (ensure it passes Lekki Phase 1).
Alight at your desired stop within Lekki Phase 1, such as 'Lekki Phase 1 Gate' or along 'Admiralty Way'. You might need another short Keke ride to your final destination.
Always confirm the fare with the Keke driver or Danfo conductor before boarding to avoid arguments.
At Falomo, be clear about your destination within Lekki Phase 1 to ensure you board the right Danfo.
Keep small denominations of Naira notes ready for payment.
It is generally safer to travel during the day. If you must travel at night, stick to well-lit, busy areas and use Keke or shared taxis from reputable parks, avoiding isolated spots. Always be aware of your surroundings.
To avoid 'one-chance', always board public transport (Danfo, Keke) from established, busy bus stops and parks where other passengers are also waiting. Avoid boarding vehicles that are suspiciously empty or parked in isolated areas, especially at night. Do not accept unsolicited rides from unmarked vehicles.
While ride-hailing apps are available, this guide focuses on public commuting methods like Danfo and Keke as requested. For public transport, stick to the options provided.
For Danfo and Keke, luggage space is limited. Small bags are usually fine on your lap. If you have large luggage, you might need to pay for an extra seat or consider a 'drop' (private hire) Keke/taxi, which will be more expensive.

Best Time to Travel
The best times to travel are mid-morning (10:00 AM - 12:00 PM) and early afternoon (2:00 PM - 4:00 PM) to avoid the worst of Lagos traffic. Early mornings (before 6:30 AM) and late evenings (after 8:00 PM) can also be faster but might have fewer public transport options.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, exercise caution, especially when traveling in the evening. 'One-chance' incidents (where criminals pose as public transport operators) can occur. Always board Keke or Danfo from designated, busy parks or bus stops, and avoid empty or suspicious vehicles.
BRT / Rail / Water
There is no direct BRT or rail service from Banana Island to Lekki Phase 1. You might find BRT services from Falomo towards CMS/TBS, but that's not the direct route to Lekki Phase 1.
