- SEggertAlpharetta, Georgia4 contributionsNice area to enjoy a leisurely strollThe Riverwalk area was a very nice area to stroll around and see the immense yachts! We spent about 2-3 hours walking up down and taking the free water trolley from one end to the other. Enjoyed watching all the draw bridges go up and down as yacht after yacht cruised by. Also there are several restaurants where you can sit outside and enjoy a meal or drinks. We parked at the parking deck next to The Wharf and had no issues with security as I've read in other reviews.Visited April 2023Written 20 April 2023
- Dave LCincinnati, Ohio274 contributionsEasy Walk with Free ShuttlesWe took the walk on a Friday about mid day in August. There are lots of yachts to see parked along the water's edge, with several drawbridges. There are few restaurants along the route with several a short distance away. There are free water taxis that can pick you up at select spots and bring you to other locations. The total distance end-to-end is less than a mile. A nice way to spend a couple hours, and do take the taxi for nice ride on the water.Visited August 2023Written 27 August 2023
- anolesladyClermont, Florida217 contributionsThe Riverwalk is a must see and enjoy while you are in Ft LauderdaleThe views of the New River and all the boats are amazing. The walkway provides a great way to see the river and enjoy the outside cafes and restaurants along the Riverwalk. The New River Cafe is a must stop for either a coffee or a light lunch. You can get a Water Taxi or the Water Trolley right out side the New River Cafe.Visited October 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 1 October 2023
- Kim CKansas City, Missouri1 contributionGreat get awayEnjoyed our beach front walks. Took a Water Taxi Tour. It was very educational and beautiful views of homes and yachts. Walk Los Olas boulevard and experienced the stores. Divers were practicing at the International swimming hall of fame. Many platforms to practice from. Did not tour the museum. Will definitely do that when come back to Fort Lauderdale.Visited January 2024Travelled with friendsWritten 4 February 2024

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We walked between the NSU art museum and the Ft. Lauderdale History museum on the river walk. It was a short walk with stores along the way.

We came down here to shop and eat during our event trip to Fort Lauderdale. We have been to the city several times and somehow had never heard of this. It was a fun atmosphere. There are several shops and trendy restaurants along the main strip. We also went down to the actual riverwalk area where you can see lots of yachts. It’s a fun area and we enjoyed it so much, we did it again the next day.

I like to park behind the police station south of River Walk. I think it's like $1.25 an hour or so. Great place to sit by 3rd avenue bridge too

Not sure; There are bricks on the walkway everywhere with names on them. A great walk right to the end. Bring your camera and sit in the massive Adirondack Chair and have your picture taken. It's hilarious.

Call water taxi. From what I understand they go from one stop to another all day and as they go along they give tours

Is there a water taxi or boat that will give a tour of the Riverwalk system and allow a person to get on and off and explore shops and such?

Call water taxi. They should have a stop all along the river. The Opra house, the watering hole bars, broardway theatres, performing arts, museums are all spits they will drop folks off

Do you have a shuttle service to the airport?

RiverWalk is a shopping, dining and entertainment area. There are one or two hotels in the area, where taxis and Super Shuttle are available. I'm uncertain if any of the hotels there have a free airport shuttle service.
