Showing the primary/fastest route plan
From your location in Isheri Egbe, take a 'Danfo' (yellow commercial bus) or a 'Keke' (tricycle) heading towards 'Berger' or 'Ojodu Berger'. Confirm the destination with the driver or conductor.
At Ojodu Berger, locate the main bus park for buses heading to the Island. Look for buses specifically going to 'Obalende' or 'CMS'. These are usually bigger 'Danfo' or 'Coaster' buses. Board one of these.
Once you arrive at Obalende, you will need to take a final leg. Ask for 'Banana Island Gate' or 'Ikoyi' 'Keke' (tricycle) or a 'shared taxi' (often a small car). Negotiate the fare if it's not a fixed shared price.
The 'Keke' or shared taxi will drop you at the main gate of Banana Island. From there, you might need to walk or use a local shuttle/taxi if your specific destination is deep inside the island.

Best Time to Travel
Early morning (before 6:00 AM) or late morning (after 10:00 AM) to avoid peak rush hour. Mid-day (12:00 PM - 2:00 PM) can also be less congested. Avoid evening rush hour (4:00 PM - 8:00 PM) for travel towards the Island.
Safety Rating
Medium. While daylight travel is generally safe, be aware of 'one-chance' vehicles (unmarked public transport used by criminals) especially at night or from less busy bus stops. Pickpockets are common in crowded areas. Always use designated bus stops and avoid isolated areas.
