The waterbus is great both if you are avoiding traffic and if you are looking for a fun thing to do with your kids! And bikes and strollers are both welcome on board, making this trip even easier to take with your young ones!
If you’re still not convinced this is one of the best ways to travel, then read through some of the testimonials below!
“All you have to do is pay $1 per person, per ride, they ask you where you want to go and give you tickets based on those destinations. You hand your ticket over to the captain of the boat and most likely you will only have a few fellow passengers along for the ride. Then a nice cruise around the Marina, I recommend going once during daylight and once at night. A cheap romantic date after a nice dinner at Fisherman's village.” – Christine Y
“During summer months on weekends or when there are the free concerts, Marina del Rey has a great deal for getting around the water for $1. It is a boat (not a bus) that goes around to 7 stops including Mother's Beach, Fisherman's Village, and Chase Burton Park. It is $1 each time you get on and you must choose in advance where you are getting off since it doesn't really go in a circle/loop, but instead just kind of goes wherever people request or are waiting.” – Michael S
At a dollar per ticket, what do you have to lose?
