Ocean World Shuttle Bus Schedule — When to Ride?
Departure times vary by pick-up location, so it's best to confirm the exact schedule on the booking website.
Here are a few things to keep in mind when taking the Ocean World shuttle bus:
✔ All buses depart **on time**. If you're late, the bus will leave without you.
✔ The shuttle drops you off right in front of the Ocean World parking lot.
You can also board the return shuttle right outside the water park.
Important Notes Before Booking Your Ocean World Shuttle Bus
✔ Routes vary by date.
It's a good idea to check in advance. While there are many options and it's not usually too crowded, routes can sell out during peak season.
✔ Cancellation Deadline: 4 PM the day before
Cancellations are only possible until 4 PM the day before your scheduled trip. Refunds are not available after this time. If your plans might change, be sure to confirm and book accordingly.
✔ Routes may be canceled if fewer than 10 passengers.
If a route has fewer than 10 booked passengers, the service may be canceled two days before departure. Please check your confirmation text message after booking.
Don't Forget Your Ocean World Essentials!
Once your shuttle is booked, make sure to check off your packing list.

Since the Ocean World shuttle bus booking closes at 4 PM the day before, it's wise to book as soon as you decide to go!

Paying cash on-site is more expensive, so secure your spot online for a better deal!
