The Demerara River is Georgetown's western boundary. The wide, brown-water estuary is crossed by the Demerara Harbour Bridge and dotted with working stellings, ferry points, and occasional river-tour jetties. The main visitor-adjacent access is the Stabroek stelling by Stabroek Market, plus a few tour operators running day trips up the river.

GuyWay covers rides to all river-access points. Stabroek stelling is 2–3 minutes from most downtown hotels. The Demerara Harbour Bridge itself (Peter's Hall) is 15–20 minutes via the East Bank Highway; rides across the bridge continue onto the West Bank. The fare you see is the fare you pay, whatever the tide or the bridge-opening schedule. If you add a stop, change the destination, or a bridge fee applies, that is added at cost, no mark-up.

Frequently asked

Is the Demerara Harbour Bridge open to taxis?

Yes, GuyWay uses the bridge for East Bank and West Bank routes. The bridge retracts periodically for river traffic; closures usually last 30–45 minutes, and your driver will know the day’s retraction times. Any bridge fee is added to the fare at cost, no mark-up.

Pickup at the Stabroek stelling?

Yes. Drop the pin at the stelling entrance (west side of Stabroek Market on Water Street). Drivers know the legal curb access.

Does GuyWay handle the onward leg for river tours?

We cover the taxi to/from the tour jetty. The tour itself is separate; typical tours are run from private operators near the stelling.
