Traveling from Erunwen, a part of Ikorodu in Lagos, to the exclusive Banana Island in Ikoyi requires navigating Lagos's extensive road network and choosing the right public transport. This guide provides detailed step-by-step options, safety tips, and cost estimates to help you move smoothly across the city.
Distance
55.0 km
Duration
3h 0m
Total Cost
₦1,500 - ₦2,500
Showing the primary/fastest route plan
From Erunwen, take a local 'Danfo' (yellow bus) or 'Keke Napep' to Ikorodu Garage/Roundabout. This is the main transport hub in Ikorodu.
At Ikorodu Garage, board a 'Danfo' heading to CMS (Costain/Obalende/CMS is a common route). This bus will take you through Ikorodu Road and across the Third Mainland Bridge.
From CMS, find a 'Danfo' or 'Keke Napep' going to Falomo/Ikoyi. Specify 'Falomo' or 'Ikoyi' to the driver.
Once at Falomo, you will need to take another 'Keke Napep' or local shuttle bus (if available) specifically to Banana Island Gate. Private cars are not allowed to pick up just anyone inside Banana Island, so you'll usually be dropped at the gate.

Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or late mornings/midday (10:00 AM - 2:00 PM) are best to avoid peak traffic. Avoid evening rush hours (4:00 PM - 8:00 PM) if possible, as travel time can double or triple.
Safety Rating
Medium. While major routes are generally safe during the day, 'one-chance' buses can be a risk, especially late at night. Pickpocketing is common in crowded areas and buses. Always be aware of your surroundings.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is a reliable option for the major stretch from Ikorodu to CMS. There is currently no passenger rail service directly serving this route within Lagos.
The Oshodi multi-terminal is highly secure, but pickpockets operate on the outer pedestrian bridges. Keep phones and wallets zipped in inner pockets.
