Showing the primary/fastest route plan
From Selewu, take a 'Danfo' (yellow minibus) heading towards Ikorodu Roundabout or Ikorodu Garage.
At Ikorodu Garage/Roundabout, look for a BRT bus or another 'Danfo' going towards CMS (Central Mosque, Lagos Island) or Obalende. The BRT is usually faster and more comfortable.
If you stopped at CMS, cross to the other side (or take a short 'Keke' ride) to the Obalende bus park. From Obalende, find a 'Danfo' or 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) heading towards Ikoyi. Ask to be dropped off at the junction leading to Banana Island.
From the Banana Island junction (usually at Alexander Avenue or Onikoyi Road), you might need to take another short 'Keke Napep' or 'Okada' (motorcycle taxi, if allowed) or walk to your specific address within Banana Island.

Best Time to Travel
The best time to travel is typically between 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM or after 8:00 PM to avoid the worst of Lagos's notorious rush hour traffic. Weekends (especially Saturday mornings) can also offer lighter traffic.
Safety Rating
Medium. While the route is generally safe during the day, 'one-chance' incidents (where criminals pose as public transport operators) can occur, especially when boarding buses from isolated stops or late at night. Always board buses from designated, busy bus stops. Be extra vigilant with your belongings. Avoid traveling alone at night if possible.
