About the Epe Ayetoro Jetty – Abomiti-Nla Epe crossing
13:30, Monday to Saturday, and the timetable allows 60 minutes for 8 nautical miles. Eight knots — a working boat rather than a fast one.
One departure, no alternative
Half past one in the afternoon, six days a week. There is no morning boat and no evening boat, so a same-day return depends entirely on what runs the other way.
The far end of the lagoon
Abomiti-Nla lies east of Epe, in the part of the Lekki lagoon where the road network thins out and the water becomes the practical route. That is what an hour-long crossing on a lagoon is for.
Valid to 21 April 2027
Sunday carries nothing. The same jetty at Epe Ayetoro also handles the short morning runs from Eyin Osa, which are a different service in every respect except the landing.
Vehicles, pets & onboard
- Passenger water buses
- Modern jetty terminals
- Licensed private ferries
