In addition to the shuttle buses, guests at Cabana Bay can walk next door to the Loews Sapphire Falls Resort, which offers a water taxi service that runs between the resort and Universal CityWalk. This is a fun and scenic way to get to the parks, and it offers a unique perspective on the resort and its surroundings.

Yes, Universal's Cabana Bay Beach Resort provides multiple complimentary transportation options to Universal CityWalk. The primary method is the shuttle bus service, which runs continuously from approximately one hour before Early Park Admission begins until 2:00 AM daily. Buses typically arrive every 15 minutes at the designated stop located right outside the hotel lobby. Additionally, guests can take the Garden Walkway, a scenic, paved walking path that is slightly under a mile long. This walk takes about 15–20 minutes and leads directly to the side entrance of CityWalk near Margaritaville. A significant advantage of the walking path is that it features its own dedicated security checkpoint, which is often much faster than the main security rotunda where the buses drop off guests. While Cabana Bay does not have its own water taxi dock, it is a versatile hub that also offers a private walking entrance to Volcano Bay and dedicated shuttles to the new Universal Epic Universe park.
