A water taxi near you can provide fast point-to-point transportation across suitable waterways, particularly where road traffic makes land travel slower. Water taxis are generally smaller boats that transport passengers between designated jetties, docks or waterfront locations.
What Is a Water Taxi?
A water taxi is a passenger boat that provides transportation between waterfront locations. Depending on the operator, services may include:
- Point-to-point passenger transfers
- Private boat rides
- Hotel-to-jetty transfers
- Tourist transportation
- Corporate transportation
- Event transportation
- Private boat charters

There are also water-taxi services around Ada, including River Passage Water Taxi, which operates from hotel docks along the Ada River. (treasureislandghana.com)
