The bus ride will take you along the Georgetown Road. Inform the driver that you want to go to the Iwokrama Canopy Walkway. The journey should take around 30 to 40 minutes. Once you arrive, you may need to walk a short distance to reach the actual Canopy Walkway, following any signs or asking locals for direction.
