Showing the primary/fastest route plan
Walk or take a short drop from Maza Maza to the main Mile 2 Bus Stop.
Board a direct yellow Danfo bus going to Obalende. Ensure you enter the bus at the proper park to avoid 'one-chance' vehicles.
Drop at Obalende Under-bridge and walk to the park where they park tricycles (Keke) going to Ikoyi/Banana Island gate.
Enter a Keke from Obalende that goes straight to the Banana Island Gate.
At the Banana Island Gate, you must call the person you are visiting to clear you at the security post before you can enter. You can then take an internal shuttle or walk inside.

Best Time to Travel
To beat the worst traffic, leave Maza Maza between 5:00 AM and 5:30 AM for morning trips. For afternoon travel, move between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM. Avoid leaving the island back to the mainland between 4:30 PM and 8:30 PM.
Safety Rating
Medium - Maza Maza and Mile 2 have high rates of pickpocketing and 'one-chance' buses, especially in the early morning and late night. Hold your bags tightly and avoid showing your phone. Banana Island itself is highly secure, but the access gates require strict clearance.
BRT / Rail / Water
Yes, the Lagos Blue Line Rail runs from Mile 2 (very close to Maza Maza) to Marina. From Marina, you can easily connect to Obalende and Ikoyi.
Due to Ajah flyover layouts, returning U-turns are best performed at designated roundabouts rather than illegal bypasses to avoid traffic penalties.
