Transportation Pick-Up Locations
Boat Transport
The water taxi is located outside The Kitchen restaurant and runs every 20 minutes.
Bus Transport
Bus stops are located at the front of the lobby and arrive every 30 minutes. The bus will only take you back to the entrance of CityWalk, so we only recommended taking the bus if you’re going to Volcano Bay or if you’re traveling with a wheelchair.
