water taxi

Yesterday was a wonderful day on the Intracoastal with the water taxi. We left Hollywood at stop #3 at 11:30 AM, and went north to the first change point, The boat was full but enjoyable. We changed to the north boat and went to the end. When we arrived at that end of the route, we got off and had lunch at FlipFlop. There were other choices, like Shooters and the Chart House. This is a hop on hop off ride and well worth the price. Seniors pay $21. We also took the ride that goes past the homes of the "Rich and Famous". you can also get off and explore many areas. Los Olas was included. The employees were knowledgeable, informative and funny. It was a full day on the water for a very reasonable price

We enjoyed this scenic get around, but it was frustrating learning the directions and times of the boat trips. Therefore make sure you have enough time to enjoy this amble without worrying about deadlines, ie planes or room limits

If you love water and need to move around Fort Lauderdale. ..this water taxi is the nicest way to get there. Great fun!

Great way to see the sites, my sister and I went to see the bonnet house while our husbands went to the bar for a bit. Then we met up at fisheries on 15th street for supper. What a great place. Love the view of the mansions . Great deal and they did a whistle stop for us so we didn't have to walk far back to our hotel a t the Hyatt pier 66.

Try is for a fun way to get around the canals and waterways of Ft Lauderdale. Drivers give interesting details of local color.

We jumped on the water Taxi at the 17th Street bridge the day of our disembarkation from our cruise and loved it. We visited beaches in Fort Lauderdale and then traveled to Hollywood and it's Broadwalk. The crew was over the top friendly and helpful and the views along the intercostal were beautiful. I highly recommend the Water Taxi as a post cruise excursion!

There used to be a true Water Taxi but now it is only an all day pass and really the water bus. Too bad, it was a nice way to get from point A to B on the water for a reasonable price, but easier now to take a land based taxi

Our first time in FTL so we hopped on/off the Water Taxi for several hours. We had low expectations, and were pleasantly surprised --- very fun & interesting! Did the main circuit, the Hollywood part and the downtown part. Start with the main circuit / and if you have the time - add in the Hollywood part (southern extension). It takes you down past the cruise ships and the freighters, and you can see some wildlife. You can hop off and wander around the Hollywood Broadwalk (restaurants, shops). Water Taxi was giving out coupons for the 15th St Fisheries --- we didn't use the coupon but we did hop off for lunch -- and it was very good! Good waterfront restaurant where you can watch the tarpons swim around under the restaurant (and feed them with purchased food if you want).

Nice way to travel at a reasonable cost but very frustrating when two mornings in a row the boat is full and your left standing on the dock. Should be a rebate for that.

We really liked the ability to leave the car at the hotel and see a part of Fort Lauderdale that we rarely get to see. The homes and yachts were incredible.

This is a great way to pass the time or explore the Canals and Waterways around Fort Lauderdale. The Cost is $26 for an all-day pass, $21 for a Senior Citizen. The Taxi runs every 20 minutes.The Inter-Coastal Waterways were amazing.The Mansions and the Yachts of the Rich and Famous are spectacular. Even more enjoyable are the entertaining, informative and interesting anecdotes about the Celebrities as narrated by the Captains.We enjoyed getting on and off at various stops to look around:Stop # 3 for the Las Olas Boulevard, Stranahan house, Museums and Galleries.Stop #8 for the Beach and the Restaurants.Stop #9 for The Bonnet HouseLuckily for us, most of the Taxis were not crowded, and we able to catch the taxis back at the above stops.Be prepared for lots of walking at the stops. Most of all, be prepared to hear the same funny stories repeated in every Taxi. The worst thing is the constant reminders for tips. This gets annoying after the third or the fourth ride.Many people simply sit on the Taxi for the entire loop around the rivers, which takes about 2 hours. We lucked out, but I am sure that it can be a hit or a miss if you are trying to board a taxi when nobody is getting out.

We took the Water Taxi while on vacation to Ft. Lauderdale, what a great relaxing surprise. My downfall in life is not getting name to give credit to the people who make the experience great. Went through the intercoastal waterways, viewing big yachts, persons of interest homes and funny stories and interactions. Highly recommend this experience..

We used the water taxi on a recent trip to Fort Lauderdale. The boat picked us up right from our hotel, which was pre arranged by reception. We then paid $26 per adult for unlimited use to hop on and off all day until 10pm. A guided tour with lots of information of how "The other half" live. It's an absolute must and well worth the money!

The gentlemen on the water taxi, funny and knowledgeable of the area and provided lots of interesting info. A great way to see the sights, reasonable cost for the whole day.

Take you all over the place, up and down the Fort Lauderdale intracostal and to a drop off near las olas blvd. Boat drivers are friendly and helpful, I take visitors on this all the time.
