The person running the boat gives a brief history lesson of different things about Oklahoma. However, this time I was not too happy. The guides should really remember tourist don’t care to know YOUR life story or about your girlfriend & what you went to college for etc.. they want to see our city. Enjoy the scenery and enjoy the tidbits of info you can share about our city. to them.
I’ve been on this canal ride so many times. But yesterday was disappointing. I was adding info to my guest as he was busy discussing his girlfriend or the NFL DRAFT.
I still tipped at the end.. but pass along to the workers.. people are there to learn or laugh enjoy the city.. not your specific personal life w not funny dad jokes. Yes I’ll be back. But please accept a good critique. read less

I liked everything about our Bricktown Water Taxi experience, not least because the narration was supplied by a very personable and experienced young guide who obviously loved his job. I especially enjoyed seeing and photographing the Centennial Land Rush Monument. The water taxi offers the best way to see the impressive bronze sculptures of the monument, and the photo ops are spectacular. If good fortune returns me to Oklahoma City someday, I’m going to take the water taxi tour again and get more photos of the sculptures. read less

I was completely in love with it last weekend! It’s beautiful along the way. I loved the bronze land run statues! They were amazing! The driver was fun and we learned something about our great state with a fun game. I would recommend this ride. You see business’s that you might not see or recognize from the street and you can get off and on for one price all day. Definitely worth it! read less

Our tour operator was funny, and easy to listen to. Loved the scenery, the sculptures, and tips about the restaurants. We finished our day at Bricktown, with dinner at a barbecue place....great dinner! This area reminds me of San Antonio with the boats, etc. I found it amazing, to hear the story of how Oklahoma City transformed this area! Bricktown is a cool place to walk, and dine, and the boat ride added to the charm of this special part of the city! read less

She was funny, nice and very knowledgeable. The boat ride was pretty - waterfalls, ducks, geese, flowers, and the land run statues (very cool). We went on a Monday so the boat was not crowded at all (five in my group, and a couple). The only downside was the price - $56 for my group of five. It was still nice and I would highly recommend it, but probably wouldn't go again just because of the price. read less

One perk is that your admission ticket is good for all day so you can ride the boat multiple times if you want. Our driver was very informative and we learned a lot about the area. The boats are covered so most of the boat is out of the sun. Luckily, we didn’t have a lot of people on the boat or it would have been a little crowded. read less

Riding twice made the price more worthwhile since the ride is rather short and guides ask for tips. It's too bad they don't have pricing for one trip that's a bit less. And beware that even though they say there are "stops" along the way this isn't the way to get around the area reliably. Drivers do not have to stop at any location and can't if the boat is full so you may end up waiting quite awhile when you could walk to your destination faster. That being said, the ride was enjoyable and worthwhile for us vacationers who haven't been here before. The morning guide gave lots of info and history about the area and attractions along the way. The second guide wasn't as good as the first and didn't share even half as much info with passengers. You can walk the paths along the narrow canal and see the same sights and even drive to close parking to see the great sculptures that are near the end of the ride (definitely worth checking out the sculptures close up! ) While I wouldn't ride the Water Taxi on future visits it was interesting for for a first time visit to Bricktown. read less

Wonderful experience. Our driver was very informative. Very educational tour. Learned lots of history of Oklahoma

Fun attraction to learn more about the downtown area. Open air taxis so dress appropriately. Full tour lasts about 30ish minutes.

It is a Hop-On / Hop-Off ride, but everybody just boarded at the Main Stop, and stayed until the ride was back at the origination point – about 45 minutes later. The trip was a leisurely one with quite a lot of historic narration, interspersed with funny anecdotes and corny jokes. It was nice to learn about downtown Bricktown, and how it has been revitalized over the years. We passed a lot of wall murals, statues and restaurants along the way. The guide gave us a brief history of each attraction. (Especially loved the story about the Margarita drinking professor who projected the images on a large wall, and had his students paint the murals – Funny). The Land Run Monument was unbelievably stunning from the low vantage point from the canal. We would never have found out how the creator of this monument positioned himself very prominently in that group of sculptures -- had the guide not mentioned it. As visitors to the city, we sincerely appreciate hearing local tidbits such as these. We took the ride at sunset, so everything looked really lovely in that light. It was wonderful to see some of the sights of Bricktown from a different angle. The ride, even though...

They did away with the wristbands. Your ticket is now emailed to you and can be scanned directly from your smart phone. You can also print the tickets from home and present it to be scanned. Our tour guide was Aaron and he was informative, funny, and engaging. I learned about OKC's history, the developmental progress, and future expansion plans. Aaron also pointed out things to do and restaurants to try out along the canal. So if you're new to OKC, you could start with this boat ride to give you ideas to add to your itinerary. The tour lasted about 45 minutes and was a nice relaxing break from walking around. I would definitely do this again the next time I visit. *Update: As Chad mentioned, you absolutely do have the option of hopping on and off along the canal. One of the passengers requested to be let off near the land run statues to take a pic during our tour and Aaron happily obliged. He docked the boat at the designated stop which is understandable. You can't just hop on and off anywhere for safety reason I'm sure. read less
