About the Irewe Ojo – Ojo market waterside crossing
07:00 and 10:30, Monday to Saturday. Two departures covering 3.5 nautical miles in 20 minutes across the western Lagos lagoon.
The destination is the timetable
A landing named for a market gets boats when the market wants them: early, and again mid-morning. Nothing runs in the afternoon, which is the clearest statement of what the route carries.
Three and a half hours apart
The gap between the two sailings is the whole of the choice. Anyone needing to return later in the day is looking at the road or a different landing.
Six days
Sunday has no service. The listing holds into 2027, which on this network reflects a settled rather than a seasonal arrangement.
Vehicles, pets & onboard
- Passenger water buses
- Modern jetty terminals
- Licensed private ferries
- Life-jacket safety enforcement
Onboard facilities and vehicle, pet and luggage policies vary by operator and vessel; confirm details with the operator before booking.
