Getting There
-
Car
If you are traveling by car, start your journey from the capital city, Georgetown. Head west on the West Bank Demerara road (also known as the Georges River Road). Follow the road until you reach the Demerara River. You will need to take the ferry at the Vreed-en-Hoop ferry terminal, which will take you across the river to the Essequibo Islands-West Demerara region. The ferry operates regularly, but it's best to check the schedule in advance. Once you arrive on the other side, continue following the road towards Parika. From Parika, you will need to hire a boat to Fort Island, as it is only accessible by water. The boat ride will take approximately 15-20 minutes, and you may need to negotiate a fare with the boat operator.
-
Public Transportation
For those using public transportation, take a minibus from Georgetown to Parika. Minibuses to Parika can be found at the Stabroek Market, and the fare is usually quite affordable. The journey takes around 1 hour. Once you arrive in Parika, you will need to find a boat that is heading to Fort Island. Boats are generally available at the riverfront, and you may need to wait for a few minutes for enough passengers to fill the boat. It's advisable to ask locals for the current boat schedules and fares, which can vary depending on demand and time of day. The boat ride will take about 15-20 minutes.
