Transport Guide
Showing the primary/fastest route plan
From your location in Victoria Island, take a Danfo (yellow bus) or Keke NAPEP (tricycle) heading towards CMS (Marina).
At CMS, look for Danfos going to 'Apapa' or 'Mile 2'. Board one that passes through Eko Bridge and Costain. Tell the conductor you're going to Apapa (e.g., 'Liverpool' or 'Tin Can').
Once you get to Apapa (e.g., Liverpool or Tin Can area), ask for directions to the 'Snake Island boats'. There are many small jetties where private boat operators offer shuttle services to Snake Island, mostly for workers. You might need to take a short Keke ride within Apapa to get to the jetty.
Board a shared boat (shuttle service) to Snake Island. Confirm the fare before boarding.

Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:30 AM) or mid-day (11:00 AM - 2:00 PM) are best to avoid the worst of Lagos traffic. Traveling after 7:00 PM is generally not recommended due to reduced public transport options and increased safety concerns in some areas.
Safety Rating
Medium. The Apapa area can be busy and sometimes chaotic, especially at night. Always be aware of your surroundings. 'One-chance' syndicates are a general risk in Lagos; avoid isolated routes or very late-night travel if possible. Stick to busy public transport hubs.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available for parts of the journey, specifically from CMS to Mile 2. There is no direct rail service to Snake Island or within this specific route corridor.
