Showing the primary/fastest route plan
From Lekki Phase 1 (e.g., 1st or 2nd Roundabout), find a 'Danfo' (yellow commercial bus) heading to CMS (Central Business District).
At CMS, locate the park for buses going to Mile 2. You might find a 'Danfo' or a slightly larger 'Coaster' bus. Be prepared for potential traffic on Third Mainland Bridge.
From Mile 2, which is a major transit hub, find buses specifically going to Badagry. These are often larger 'Coaster' buses or 'Sienna' commercial vehicles (shared ride). Confirm the destination is 'Badagry Roundabout' or 'Badagry Marina'. This is the longest leg of the journey.
Once in Badagry, alight at the Badagry Roundabout or Marina. From there, you'll need to take a local boat ('canoe' or 'speed boat') to Gberefu Island. Ask locals for directions to the boat jetty.

Best Time to Travel
Early morning (before 6:00 AM) is ideal to avoid the worst of Lagos traffic and ensure you reach Badagry in daylight. Mid-day (10:00 AM - 2:00 PM) can also work. Avoid peak evening hours (4:00 PM - 8:00 PM) as traffic is heavy and safety concerns increase on the Badagry route.
Safety Rating
Medium. While daytime travel is generally safe, the Lagos-Badagry Expressway, especially from Mile 2 onwards, has a reputation for 'one-chance' incidents, particularly after dark. Always board buses at well-lit, recognized parks and avoid isolated stops. Road conditions can be poor in sections, leading to accidents.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT buses operate on sections of the route (e.g., from CMS/Obalende towards Mile 2, and the Mile 2-Badagry corridor is under development/partial operation). However, a direct BRT route from Lekki Phase 1 to Badagry is not fully available. There is no direct train service for this route.
If traveling between Lagos and mainland extensions via Berger, plan departures before 6:30 AM or after 8:30 PM to bypass heavy bottlenecks at the outward police posts.
