Tickets are one price and are valid for the whole day, meaning that you can get on and off the boat as often as you like, so you can take the Water Taxi from your hotel and hop off for lunch downtown before heading to the beach for the afternoon, and then use the Water Taxi again to go out for dinner in the evening.
