Guyana Getting Around

Getting Around

Minibuses travel throughout Guyana and are the cheapest way to travel. Minibus fairs range from $.20 - $5.00 depending on length. Do not take minibuses at night. Many parts of Guyana are separated by large rivers. These areas can be traversed by way of river taxi. Go to the port village and ask where the speedboats launch from. Ask other passengers what the fare is while traveling as boat operators tend to seek higher fees from tourists. Do not take "specials" without first negotiating the price. Taxis are a good way to get around in Georgetown. Fares should never be more than $2.50 (Guyanese $475) for travel within the city and most fares should be around GD$260.
