Upgraded Transportation

All of the Universal Resorts offer complimentary transportation to Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure, but there is just something about getting on a boat and floating down the canal to get to your destination. The water taxi is something special and feels like a ride in itself each time you make a trip. If the weather is bad, the water taxi might not be running. During these times, you will need to catch the Universal Bus Service.
