Depart from VGC. From the main VGC gate or bus stop area, take a local mini-bus (Danfo) heading towards Lekki Phase 1 or Ajah. This Danfo will start by departing left on an unnamed road, turning right on Road 13, then left on Road 7, and eventually merge onto the Lekki-Epe Expressway.
Alight at the Lekki 1st Roundabout or the Admiralty Way junction. From there, find another Danfo heading towards Falomo or Obalende. This bus will take Admiralty Way, then cross the Lekki - Ikoyi Bridge.
Alight around Falomo Bridge or Alexander Avenue in Ikoyi. From this point, you will need to take a Keke Napep (tricycle) directly into Banana Island. Confirm with the Keke driver that they are going to your specific street within Banana Island as it's a large area. The Keke will navigate Alexander Avenue, Onikoyi Road, Banana Island Road, 2nd Avenue, Ondo Street, and B Close.
