Compiling Route Details...
Moving from Palmgrove on the Mainland to the ultra-wealthy Banana Island estate in Ikoyi requires navigating across the Third Mainland Bridge. Commuters can choose between a budget-friendly multi-leg Danfo connection, a smoother prime express setup, or a direct but highly price-inflated ride-hailing alternative.
Distance
19.0 km
Duration
1h 15m
Total Cost
₦1,800 - ₦2,600
Showing the primary/fastest route plan
Stand at Palmgrove Bus Stop on Ikorodu Road and board a commercial Danfo bus heading directly to Obalende.
Drop at Obalende Under-bridge, walk towards the park, and look for the specific mini-buses or white corporate shuttles heading into Ikoyi and stopping near the Banana Island gate.
Drop at the Banana Island Gate bus stop. Because standard yellow commercial buses are strictly barred from entering the estate, you must enter an approved estate Keke or walk across the security checkpoint.

Best Time to Travel
Depart between 6:00 AM and 6:45 AM for morning peak hours to beat the heavy hold-up on Third Mainland Bridge, or travel mid-day between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM for the fastest off-peak movement.
Safety Rating
Medium - The final destination is highly secure, but connecting hubs like Obalende Under-bridge pose pickpocketing risks, especially in the dark.
BRT / Rail / Water
Lagos BRT buses run past Palmgrove along the Ikorodu Road corridor, but there is no direct BRT lane or rail system linking the Mainland straight into Banana Island. You must transition to local yellow buses, corporate shuttles, or e-hailing cars once you get to the Island.
Shuttle fares from Berger to Mowe fluctuate depending on petrol availability at the Berger junction. Expect standard fares during off-peak morning hours.
