Let Your Stress Float Away on the Water Taxi

Home » Colorado Ski Resort News » Let Your Stress Float Away on the Water Taxi

August 3, 2018 by Kevin W

Taking the free bus around the lake to visit your favorite Summit County restaurants and bars seems convenient but it doesn’t sound too fun.  A water taxi ride across the lake at 9,017 feet though?  Now that seems like a more appealing way to travel…especially if you plan on drinking!  Family dinners, friendly gatherings, and bar hopping between Frisco and Dillon has never been so stylish!  The taxi runs all week over the summer (weather permitting) so come join in on the fun.  Pick a sunny day, find some friends and plan a day around the lake.  The Water Taxi offers both one way and round trips to cater to all types of plans and activities.  Check prices with the link above!

The two most popular destinations for the water taxi are Dillon’s Tiki Bar and Grill and Frisco’s Island Grill .  These two destinations bring together a beach type atmosphere with gorgeous mountain views, making it a perfect place to enjoy food and drinks on the lake.  If you were looking to explore a little farther from the lake both drop off points give you great access to Frisco and Dillon’s main streets.  From there you will have access to all of Frisco and Dillon’s shops and eateries.

If you get too used to the convenience of the water taxi and don’t want to walk anywhere after getting off the pontoon boat we still have good news for you.  For just an extra 3 dollars the taxi will shuttle your bike across the lake too!  Not only does that allow you to get into town with ease it also opens up a plethora of biking trails in Dillon, Frisco, and neighboring towns.

Have a furry friend who wants to explore with you?  The taxi will also shuttle your dog across the lake as well.  After all, summit county is one of the best places around to be a dog!

So if you are in Summit County and looking to turn an average day out in the town to an unforgettable one, try the Water Taxi and enjoy the lake the way its meant to be!

    This is a very accommodating company when traveling from Denver airport to Vail. With multiple calls to move our reservation back due to a flight delay to Denver and then back to our original reservation as we sailed through the airport with our luggage. They notified the driver that we landed in time to make the trip. We had two quick stops on the way to Vail. Dropped off at the Vail Transit Center. This was a very easy way to get from airport to Vail for a very reasonable price. I recommend Summit Express and will take them again if coming to this area of the country.

    I highly recommend Summit Express! Everything from the booking experience, flexibility, follow up and experience was AMAZING!! We used a private Summit Express Shuttle on the way to Breckenridge and back to the airport and had a great time. Both drivers, John and Paul were FANTASTIC! They loaded up our suitcases and food, provided water, made sure we were comfortable and were great drivers! They even provided us some fun facts on the way! We were able to connect our music to the shuttle and had a fun drive! They knew the traffic patterns, best bathroom stops and we also stopped for food. We even took the scenic route on the way back because people wanted to and it avoided traffic (and we got to stop for a little break and some pics)! Definitely book with Summit Express!!!

    These people provide the best service beyond anything I could imagine. The driver’s solid attitude gave the Summit Express a reason to be very proud. You could see this man’s unmistakable confidence, pride, and solid and even somewhat entertaining personable approach to doing his job. I really enjoyed the ride although it took hours. Thank you Summit. You cannot get better than this competent, confident, willing provider of the very best service. He was so good that I found myself thinking that his behavior and manner was so very much better than anyone doing his job need to be. This ride was the demonstration of the best kind of pride in one’s work and person I have lately seen in our America.
    The van was exceptional.

    Vans are clean and pick up is on time! Big plus, I didn’t have to drive in I70 traffic. What more can you ask for.

    They verified my flight time and flight number to make sure I would have adequate time to catch flight after making reservation and before departure. The small details made for a stress free trip even with small delays due to traffic.

    I was recommended to try summit express after patronizing other Denver airport shuttle service and glad that I did. Drivers were safe and defensive. Overall the ride was comfortable.

    We used Summit Express for our wedding shuttle and had a great experience. Planning with Stephen was easy. He was responsive and clear throughout the process. On the day of, our driver Cory was fantastic. He arrived right on time, the van was super clean, and everything ran smoothly. Highly recommend!
