Sobre esta Tip
Ferries to Lagos Island mostly run on weekdays from about 6:30 am, with rush hours from 6:30 to 9 am and 4 to 6:30 pm, and the crossing takes 30 to 45 minutes against around two hours by road. Staying in the Ebute area near the ferry terminal means a short trip to the early boats. Ebute also has lagoon-front lounges for the evening. Check the terminal is open first.
