Showing the primary/fastest route plan
Start from a major bus stop in Lekki Phase 1 (e.g., Admiralty Way Junction, Lekki Phase 1 Gate). Look for a yellow Danfo bus heading towards 'Obalende' or 'CMS' via Ikoyi.
Tell the conductor you are going to 'Falomo'. Alight at Falomo Bus Stop, which is right after crossing the Falomo Bridge into Ikoyi. This is a major LASTMA/VIO hotspot, so drivers are usually careful.
From Falomo Bus Stop, look for another smaller Danfo or a Keke Napep (tricycle) heading to 'Banana Island'. Confirm with the driver before boarding.
The bus or Keke will take you to the main entrance of Banana Island. You might need to walk a short distance to your specific destination within the island.

Medium. The route is generally safe during the day. For evening travel, stick to popular bus stops and avoid isolated areas. Be aware of your belongings in crowded public transport and be cautious of 'one-chance' vehicles.
