Description: For a mode of transportation that combines fun and function, take a ride on the River Taxi, a small-craft service for short hops across the St. Johns to Jacksonville Municipal Stadium, the Jacksonville Landing, and the Southbank Riverwalk. Pick up a River Taxi from the Jacksonville Landing or from the Southbank Riverwalk near Friendship Fountain. Give the River Taxi a try if you’re staying at a hotel on the Southbank and want to get across to the Landing for drinks. Conversely, if you’re staying at a hotel on the Northbank and want to cross the river to eat at Ruth’s Chris or Morton’s, don’t drive across the Main Street Bridge. Take the River Taxi. The taxi operates from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays and from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. weekends. Tickets are available for one-way or round-trip service, and prices range from $3 for adult one-way tickets to $5 for adults going round-trip. Stadium prices vary.Plan to wait for about 20 minutes to get on your water taxi. The trip itself takes another 20 minutes, but it’s worth the extra time to experience the city from the water.
