From any major bus stop in Victoria Island (e.g., Eko Hotel Roundabout, Ajose Adeogun Street, Law School bus stop), board a 'Danfo' (yellow bus) heading towards 'Falomo' or 'Obalende'.
Alight at Falomo Bus Stop. Carefully cross the road towards the Ikoyi side. Look for another 'Danfo' or 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) heading specifically into 'Dolphin Estate'. These are usually stationed near the Falomo Bridge exit.
At Falomo, look for buses with 'Dolphin Estate' written on them. If direct buses are scarce, take a 'Keke Napep' which will take you inside the estate.
During peak hours, consider walking a short distance from Falomo to a less crowded Keke stand to avoid long queues.
LASTMA/VIO are often active around Falomo Bridge, ensure your vehicle doesn't stop illegally.
No, there is no direct BRT service connecting Victoria Island to Dolphin Estate. You will rely on 'Danfo' buses and 'Keke Napep'.
While generally safe during the day, exercise caution at night. Stick to well-lit, busy routes and only use clearly marked public transport. Avoid isolated bus stops or private-looking vehicles offering rides.
The best way to beat traffic is to travel during off-peak hours (mid-morning or early afternoon). If you must travel during peak hours, factor in significant extra time for your journey.
For the first leg, look for buses going to 'Falomo' or 'Obalende' from Victoria Island. For the second leg, you need buses or Keke Napep specifically going to 'Dolphin Estate' from Falomo or Awolowo Road.
