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.

The Riverside Hotel is located at the New River and it is a nice area to walk around. However, I did so during day light and I do not think that I will do so while it is dark.

I love to boat along the intercoastal in Florida. The traffic is significant. You can rent a boat, pontoon or a captain with the ship to navigate the waters. It would help if you were very prudent when navigating the river. It was a pleasant experience.

We took a long leisurely boat ride up and back. Haven't done that in a year and it was just incredible. Beautiful ride and great sight seeing. Fort Lauderdale just keeps growing and growing. Coming back at night the lights are incredible.

We had a great walk on the New River. Great place to hang out at a bar or bistro, people watch and of course, see all the boats go by. We really enjoyed it!

The Riverwalk was enjoyable with a multitude of restaurants but we were a little disappointed that there were no retail shops .

Carrie B is the way to go. Yeah you can do the river other ways..... but they are the best. Guides have it down. Snack bar on the boat as well , including wine and beer.

Factoid -- southernmost river in Florida. And yeah one that flows past all those rich folks' houses.

The New river meanders through Ft. Lauderdale making a great scenery for residents and visitors alike. Before ending in the lagoon it winds through downtown with many high rises condos and nice pathways along it - the Riverwalk.
It's best explored on foot or taking a river taxi or boat.

Staying overnight my wife and I and friends found our way to the river near the Cheescake Restaurant and onto a free river shuttle for about a 45 minute cruise for tips. Our lady captain was very informative and nice. The weather was great. The river view of parks and tall condos was super. Must be interesting to live here. Highly suggested you give this a try.
