Make your way to the Ipakodo Ferry Terminal in Ikorodu. You can use a local Keke Napep or a short Danfo ride from nearby areas.
Board a LAGFERRY boat or another reputable ferry operator from Ipakodo that is heading towards CMS (Marina). This water journey offers a direct and often quicker alternative to road traffic.
Upon arrival at CMS Jetty, disembark and walk to the nearby CMS BRT terminal or find a yellow Danfo bus heading towards Lekki-Epe Expressway. You might need to take a connecting Danfo from CMS to Obalende/Falomo first, then another to your specific Lekki destination.
Check LAGFERRY's schedule online or at the terminal for departure times. Ferries typically operate from early morning to early evening.
Arrive at the ferry terminal early, especially during peak hours, to ensure you get a ticket and a seat.
Keep your valuables secure, particularly when in crowded bus stops or on public buses.
Be prepared for multiple connections and confirm your final destination with bus conductors.
It is generally advisable to avoid traveling late at night, especially on road routes, due to reduced visibility and potential security risks like 'one-chance' vehicles. If you must travel at night, use reputable transport services, ensure your phone is charged, and inform someone of your journey. Ferry services usually stop operations in the early evening.
No, BRT cards are only for BRT buses, which are easily identifiable by their specific routes and designated lanes. Regular yellow Danfo buses accept cash payments. It's advisable to have a topped-up BRT card if you plan to use BRT for any part of your journey.
For ferry and BRT, small to medium-sized luggage is usually acceptable without extra charges. However, on yellow Danfo buses, larger luggage might incur an additional charge or require you to pay for an extra seat, especially if it obstructs other passengers. Always confirm luggage charges with the conductor beforehand.
While ferries bypass road traffic, they can also get crowded during peak hours (e.g., 6:00 AM - 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM) as people commute to and from work. Arriving a bit earlier than peak times can help you secure a comfortable spot.

Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or late evenings (after 7:00 PM) are ideal to avoid peak road traffic. Ferry travel is less affected by road congestion, making it a good option during peak hours, but ferry services also have peak demand times. Check ferry schedules in advance.
Safety Rating
Medium. While ferry services are generally safe and regulated, road travel in Lagos requires vigilance. Be aware of pickpockets on crowded buses and in busy bus stops. 'One-chance' incidents (unlicensed vehicles used for robbery) are a risk, so always use known public transport or reputable options. Avoid displaying valuables openly.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available for parts of the road journey, particularly from Ikorodu Road towards CMS/Obalende, and then connecting towards Lekki. BRT requires a BRT card. There is no rail option available for this specific route.
