If you're into water rides and architecture, you don't want to miss the water taxi. Besides the fact that you can have a drink and not have to drive home, you'll see some beautiful buildings and homes (up close and personal) that you'll never see from the road or the sidewalk.

As much as I didn't want to take it our group did. I actually enjoyed the ride. I wouldn't want to take it for too long but the stops they made were quick and easy. The tour guide was informative about some of the houses along the intracoastal. The only part I didn't like was waiting for the taxi to... More

It was a beautiful day and I loved listening to our guides explain about the mansions along the intercoastal.

Took the water taxi from Hollywood to Ft Lauderdale for a round trip. Had to pay when on the boat and was $100 for 2 adults and 3 kids 12,15 & 17. A little expensive for a family for a round trip ride. Should have planned it better but the staff was friendly and knowledgeable.

The Water Taxi is a great way to see cool sights along Florida's Intercoastal Waterway-- including famous houses, boats, and buildings. However, it would help if the Water Taxi crew would point them out! The first time I visited in Jan 2011, the crew was really good about pointing out and describing interesting sights -- even at night. I learned... More

We have utilized the Water Taxi now on our last two visits and have been very pleased! Not only is it a great way to see the sights of Ft Lauderdale, it's a convenient way to get around town as well. The Taxi has multiple drop-off points, conveniently located along the waterway at many popular spots/destinations. We never rent a... More

My wife and I took the water taxi last year during a visit to Fort Lauderdale and really enjoyed it. On this trip to Fort Lauderdale we decided to spend more time on the water taxi so we could stop at most of the thirteen stops that they stop at. We walked down to their office and purchased a three... More

We bought all day passes for the taxi and took both the up/downtown routes as well as the Hollywood route. The taxi is a great way to visit both the Ft. Lauderdale and Hollywood beaches and their surrounding areas. It is one of a few ways to travel on the intercostal waterways and view the beautiful yachts and mansions. The... More
