From your location on Banana Island, take a Keke (tricycle) or a 'drop' (private charter) taxi to the Banana Island Gate or Falomo Under Bridge. Keke is common for short distances within Ikoyi.
At Falomo Under Bridge, look for 'Danfo' (yellow buses) heading towards 'Lekki Phase 1' or 'Admiralty Way'. Board one and alight at the Lekki Phase 1 T-Junction (where Admiralty Way meets Lekki-Epe Expressway).
From Lekki Phase 1 T-Junction, find a 'Danfo' bus going towards 'Ajah' or 'Badore'. These buses will ply the Lekki-Epe Expressway. Alight at Ajah Roundabout.
At Ajah Roundabout, cross to the other side of the road (if needed) and take a short 'Danfo' or 'Keke' going towards 'VGC' or 'Sangotedo'. Alight directly at VGC Junction.

Best Time to Travel
The best time to travel is mid-day, between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM, to avoid the worst of the peak hour traffic. Very early mornings (before 6:30 AM) are also good. Travel between 6:30 AM - 9:30 AM and 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM on weekdays is strongly discouraged due to heavy congestion and longer travel times.
Safety Rating
Medium. While the route is generally safe during the day, 'one-chance' incidents can happen in shared public vehicles, especially after dark. Always board at busy, well-lit bus stops. Pickpocketing is also a risk in crowded buses. It's best to avoid late-night travel if you can.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available for a significant portion of this route, offering a more structured and often faster option with dedicated lanes. There is no rail transport available for this specific intracity journey.
Always ask for a physical or SMS-linked waybill receipt when sending a package via Surulere couriers. This serves as your legal proof of dispatch.
