This guide provides detailed public transport options for travelers moving from Royal Garden Estate, Lekki, to Banana Island, Ikoyi, both located within Lagos.

Showing the primary/fastest route plan
Walk from Royal Garden Estate to the main Lekki-Epe Expressway. Look for a 'Danfo' (yellow public minibus) or a 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) heading towards Lekki Phase 1 or Jakande. Confirm the destination with the driver/conductor.
Alight at a major bus stop like Jakande, Elegushi, or Lekki Phase 1 Gate. From there, find another 'Danfo' heading towards Ikoyi (e.g., Falomo, Keffi, or Bourdillon Road). Ask the conductor if they are going to 'Ikoyi Falomo' or 'Keffi'.
Once in Ikoyi (e.g., near Falomo Bridge or Keffi Street bus stop), you'll need a final connection to Banana Island. Look for a 'Keke Napep' or a local 'Danfo' that plies the Banana Island Road route. You might need to negotiate the fare if it's a shared 'Keke' or if you're chartering one.

Best Time to Travel
Mid-day (10:00 AM - 3:00 PM) on weekdays offers the least traffic. Weekends, especially Sunday mornings, can also be smoother. Avoid peak hours: 6:30 AM - 9:30 AM (morning rush) and 4:00 PM - 7:30 PM (evening rush).
Safety Rating
Medium. Daytime travel is generally safe, but always be aware of your surroundings. Evening travel carries higher risks, including petty crime and 'one-chance' incidents (unlicensed vehicles used for robbery). Avoid isolated bus stops at night. Traffic robbery can occur during gridlock on major expressways.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) services are available along portions of the Lekki-Epe Expressway, offering a more structured and often faster option. There is no rail service directly connecting these two locations.
Due to Ajah flyover layouts, returning U-turns are best performed at designated roundabouts rather than illegal bypasses to avoid traffic penalties.
