Recommended excursions

Fort Lauderdale Sightseeing Tour

Fort Lauderdale Sightseeing Tour

An overview tour of Fort Lauderdale includes a journey along mesmerizing beaches. In these sands, numerous sea turtles lay their eggs. By the way, this is precisely why the city has issued an ordinance limiting beach lighting during this time period. This prevents disorientation for the inhabitants of the deep sea. After visiting the beaches, tourists head to the city’s main thoroughfare - Las Olas. It runs through multiple water channels and leads to the city’s central area. Along it, you’ll find numerous galleries, museums, and small restaurants. The tour also includes a visit to world-famous Hollywood and the beautiful town of Sunny Isles Beach.
