Go to Ipakodo Ferry Terminal. Look for ferries heading to CMS or Five Cowries Terminal (Ikoyi). Confirm the destination with the ticketing staff.
Board the ferry. The journey across the Lagos Lagoon offers a scenic view and helps you avoid road traffic.
Alight at CMS Ferry Terminal or Five Cowries Terminal. From CMS, walk to the bus stop near the CMS Cathedral or TBS (Tafawa Balewa Square). From Five Cowries, you might need a short 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) or taxi ride to a main road like Ozumba Mbadiwe Avenue.
From CMS/TBS, take a 'Danfo' (yellow commercial bus) or BRT bus heading to Lekki Phase 1. Look for buses marked 'Lekki Phase 1', 'Ikate', or 'Jakande'. If taking a 'Danfo', confirm with the conductor it's going towards Lekki Phase 1.
Alight at your specific destination within Lekki Phase 1. You may need a short walk or a 'Keke Napep' ride for the final stretch.
Ferries are generally more reliable for timekeeping as they avoid road traffic, making them a good option to beat congestion.
Arrive at the ferry terminal early, especially during peak hours, to secure a seat.
Keep your valuables secure on the ferry and bus, and be aware of your surroundings.
Ferry operations can be affected by weather conditions; check for updates if traveling during heavy rain or strong winds.
Night travel is generally not recommended for public transport in Lagos due to increased security risks, including 'one-chance' operations. If unavoidable, it is safer to use trusted ride-hailing services (though not public transport) or chartered taxis, and always inform someone of your journey.
For 'Danfo' buses, cash is required (exact change is always helpful). For BRT buses, you need a BRT card which can be purchased and topped up at BRT terminals.
Yes, you can carry reasonable luggage. For ferries, there's usually space. For 'Danfo' buses, large luggage might take up a seat, and you might be asked to pay for the extra space. BRT buses have limited space for large luggage.
If traveling by road, especially during peak hours, expect significant delays. Have water, snacks, and keep your phone charged. The ferry option largely avoids road traffic and is often more predictable.
