Things to do in Virginia, United States: The Best Ferries
Virginia can make American history come alive. Visit Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello, tour Civil War battlefields, explore the living history museum at Williamsburg… the possibilities are endless (if the kids object, break up the historical sightseeing with a visit to Busch Gardens). Arlington, site of Arlington National Cemetery, is just across the Potomac River from all the major sites in D.C. In addition to beaches and historical attractions, Virginia has plenty to offer outdoor enthusiasts. Active families will love the Blue Ridge Highlands, where hiking, canoeing and tubing are just a few of the activities offered. Couples might enjoy a romantic mountain cabin in Virginia after a day of hiking in Shenandoah National Park.

How can one beat a free ferry ride to save lots of miles. The boats are stable, run on schedule, and offer fantastic views of the James River and the Jamestown Settlement shoreline.

A short (15ish minute) ferry ride across the James River affords a unique, from the water view of the Jamestown settlement much as it must have looked to settlers to the new world.

For $5 you can take your car across the Potomac on the historic, cable operated ferry. The ride is 5 minutes. On the Maryland side there is a park, restrooms and a little country store. Glad we went.
4. Alexandria - National Harbor Water Taxi
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 58 reviews
Reviewed By breinhaugen - Fargo, United States
This was our third year visiting the area. This year we used a water taxi. We rented a nice Airbnb in Old Alexandria and we found the water taxi to be a quick, convenient, and scenic way to travel. It took us about 25 minutes to travel from Washington D.C. to Alexandria. The captain of the boat pointed out different buildings along the way. We also were able to bypass the terrible D.C. car traffic! Even though it was mid-December it wasn't that cold. You can sit outside or inside.

Many thanks to Tangier-Onancock Ferry for getting us back to Reedville, VA when our originally chartered boat (different company) decided not to run. It was a beautiful trip and your hospitality was greatly appreciated.
