Showing the primary/fastest route plan
Depart from Iraye Road. Find a 'Danfo' (yellow bus) or 'Korope' (small bus) heading towards Ajah Market or Sangotedo. You'll likely start on Iraye Road and connect to F101.
At Ajah Market/Sangotedo, alight and look for another 'Danfo' going towards Lekki Phase 1 or Ozumba Mbadiwe Avenue. This will take you along Lekki-Epe Expressway.
Alight at the bus stop closest to the Lekki - Ikoyi Link Bridge (e.g., Admiralty Way junction in Lekki Phase 1). From here, you'll need to take a 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) or 'Okada' (motorcycle, if permitted and safe for the specific stretch) towards Banana Island. Confirm with the driver they go to Banana Island Road.
Once on Banana Island Road, instruct the 'Keke' or 'Okada' driver to take you to 2nd Avenue, then Ondo Street, and finally B Close. Your destination will be on the left side of B Close.

Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) are best to avoid the worst of the rush hour traffic. Mid-day (11:00 AM - 2:00 PM) generally offers smoother travel. Avoid 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM due to peak evening traffic, which can significantly increase travel time.
Safety Rating
Medium. While Banana Island itself is highly secure due to controlled access, parts of the journey, especially on major expressways and at busy bus stops, carry typical Lagos safety risks. 'One-chance' incidents (unlicensed public vehicles with criminal intent) are a concern, particularly at night or in isolated areas. Always use recognized public transport. Avoid late-night travel if possible.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available for parts of the journey, specifically along the Lekki-Epe axis, but will require transfers. There is no direct BRT route to Banana Island. There is no train service available for this intra-city route.
Due to Ajah flyover layouts, returning U-turns are best performed at designated roundabouts rather than illegal bypasses to avoid traffic penalties.
