Taking the next generation on the taxi,
I took the water taxi from hotel to dinner on the intracoastal years ago with my son when we were at a business conference, and it was great. Now I am planning a trip my granddaughters for end of July 2024, looking forward to it.

Loved it!
We are so glad that we did the water taxi! A beautiful ride with a great guide that knew so much information about Fort Lauderdale. I have never seen so many gorgeous homes and beautiful and huge yachts in my life. Jumped off at Las Olas to enjoy that awesome area. Then back on to return to hotel. It was a perfect day. Loved every minute!

Great day on the water!
We had a wonderful time on the water with the water taxi service. The guides were friendly, funny, and full of interesting information about Fort Lauderdale. We were in FL for a girls trip and are so happy we booked the water taxi to take us to the best spots around the city.

Our early morning trip up from Hollywood on Friday morning the 24th had the most interesting and informative deck hand, we have taken friends on many trips but this man was the best ever!

The water taxi was a fun way to spend the afternoon. The crew take safety seriously, but the commentary on the history of Ft. Lauderdale and the great views of the mansions along the waterway make for an entertaining experience.

Entertaining and knowledgeable crew on all 3 taxis we were in. The restaurant recommendations we received proved to be spot on! Le Tub in Hollywood and Shooters in Ft Lauderdale were delicious!
