Step 1: Get to Ipakodo Ferry Terminal. Take a local Keke (tricycle) or Danfo (mini-bus) from your exact location in Ipakodo Area to the Ipakodo Ferry Terminal.
Step 2: Take a ferry from Ipakodo to Lagos Island. Purchase your ticket for a ferry heading to either CMS, Five Cowries Terminal, or Falomo. Ferries are generally faster and help you avoid road traffic congestion.
Step 3: From Lagos Island to Lekki Phase 2. Upon arrival at the Island ferry terminal (e.g., CMS), walk to the nearest bus stop. Look for Danfo or BRT buses going towards Ajah/Epe. You will need to alight at Lekki Phase 2 gate. Confirm with the bus conductor that they are going past Ajah and can drop you at Lekki Phase 2. You might need to change buses at Ajah or Abraham Adesanya roundabout if a direct bus is not immediately available.
Step 4: Final leg within Lekki Phase 2. From the Lekki Phase 2 gate, you might need to take a Keke or walk to your final destination within Lekki Phase 2, depending on how deep your destination is.
Ferry schedules can be impacted by weather; it's wise to check conditions before heading out, especially during the rainy season.
Always sit close to the driver or in a well-populated area on buses for safety.
Bargain politely for Keke fares if the price is not clearly displayed or fixed.
Keep your belongings secure and close to you, especially on crowded buses and at busy bus stops.
It is generally not recommended to travel this route late at night using public transport due to reduced visibility, fewer people, and increased security risks. If unavoidable, use well-known, busy bus stops and stay alert. Consider using a trusted private charter service if night travel is essential.
For ferry and buses (Danfo/BRT), you can carry small to medium-sized luggage. Large or multiple pieces of luggage might incur extra charges or be difficult to manage, especially on crowded buses. Keke has very limited space, so plan accordingly.
Most local transport (Danfo, Keke) requires cash payment directly to the conductor or driver. BRT buses use a card system (Cowry Card), which you can purchase and load at BRT terminals. Ferry tickets are bought at the terminal before boarding.
Direct buses from Ipakodo Ferry Terminal Area to Lekki Phase 2 are highly unlikely. You will almost certainly need to make at least one, if not two, transfers. The ferry option is often considered 'more direct' in terms of avoiding mainland road traffic.
