Head to the Oshodi Transport Interchange (Terminal 1 or 2). Locate the BRT section for buses going towards CMS/Marina.
Purchase a BRT card or ensure you have enough credit. Board a BRT bus clearly marked 'CMS' or 'Marina'.
Alight at the final CMS BRT Terminal. From there, ask for directions to the 'CMS Jetty' or 'Marina Jetty'. It's a short walk (5-10 minutes) towards the water.
At the jetty, look for boats specifically going to Tarkwa Bay. Confirm the fare with the boat operator and ensure you are given a life jacket before boarding.

Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 7:00 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) are best to avoid peak traffic hours. Weekends generally have lighter traffic. Avoid boat travel during heavy rains or strong winds.
Safety Rating
Medium. While Lagos public transport is generally safe, be aware of your surroundings in crowded areas. For boat travel, always insist on a life jacket and avoid overloaded boats, especially during rough weather or late evenings.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is a reliable option for the land portion from Oshodi to CMS. There is no rail service directly to Tarkwa Bay, as it is an island.
