Showing the primary/fastest route plan
From Parkview Estate, walk to Awolowo Road or Gerrard Road. Take a Danfo (yellow mini-bus) or Keke Napep (tricycle) heading to Obalende or CMS.
At Obalende or CMS, look for Danfos going to Mile 2. If at CMS, you might need to cross to the mainland side to find your bus.
From Mile 2, proceed to the designated Badagry park. Find a large bus or shared taxi (often a Sienna or Hiace mini-bus) heading directly to Badagry. Make sure the vehicle is full before it departs.
Once in Badagry, take a Keke Napep or a local shared taxi from Badagry Roundabout to Badagry Marina (also known as Badagry Jetty).
From Badagry Marina, board a local wooden boat or speed boat to Gberefu Island. Confirm the fare before boarding.

Best Time to Travel
Early morning (before 6:00 AM) on weekdays or mid-day on weekends to avoid the worst of Lagos traffic. Avoid traveling after 4:00 PM to ensure you reach Gberefu before dark.
Safety Rating
Medium. The long journey on the Lagos-Badagry Expressway, especially around Mile 2 and some isolated stretches, carries a 'one-chance' risk (unscrupulous drivers/passengers). Always use reputable parks and avoid late-night travel. The boat ride to Gberefu is generally safe, but ensure life jackets are available and worn.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT is available for parts of the journey (CMS to Mile 2). There is no rail service connecting these specific points.
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.
