About the Agaja – Ebute Ojo/Sifax Ferry Terminal crossing
One departure, at 06:30, Monday to Saturday — and the timetable allows 40 minutes for 3.8 nautical miles. Under six knots, which is slow for a lagoon boat and suggests stops on the way.
The same origin, a very different journey
Agaja also runs to Ojo market waterside over the same 3.8 miles — but that crossing is listed at 15 minutes, not forty. Same distance, same starting point, and the difference is what happens in between.
A single early boat
Nothing later in the day and nothing on Sunday. Six sailings a week, all before seven in the morning.
Valid to 21 April 2027
The Sifax terminal at Ebute Ojo is a working landing on the western Lagos lagoon, and the timetable is built around getting people there before the day starts.
Vehicles, pets & onboard
- Passenger water buses
- Modern jetty terminals
