Water taxi was very informative and had a great time getting off and eating/drinking.
My wife and I also went parasailing, with So Flo parasailing. They were great!
Favorite place to eat while we were there was Coconuts! Fantastic food! Rocco’s Tacos was very good also!

The riverwalk that runs along the waterway is very relaxing with many spots to sit and watch the boats go by. Take a tour to see all the mansions and yatches.

Lovely view under the sun with a lot of beautiful views. I accidentally passed there twice on my way to the museums and was impressed by their clean arrangements and trash cans spread in an orderly way.

The Intracoastal Waterway is fabulous. Seeing beautiful mansions and huge yachts is a fun activity in Fort Lauderdale. There is no shortage of options from kayak tours, hot tub and other fun boat tours.

It is a great place to watch the world go by either on a boat or on the shore. There are tons of events from the Yacht show to the Boat Parade. There are bars and restaurants that you can access by boat or drive to so you can watch the baots.

What a fun way to see Fr. Lauderdale's finest homes on rhe waterways. 3 hours from start to finish if you don't exit the boat, longer if you stop at any of the featured stops. Ryan was a great tour guide!

Sightseeing, transportation, this is a major transportation for Fort Lauderdale. The Intercoastal waterway winds all around the city with many on and off stops. $28 for adults includes all day hop on and off at hotels, restaurants, downtown Los Olas Blvd. They also give you a tour and narrative of the mansions and ships lining the waterway. Highly recommend. Many different boats for riding. Big one has air and drinks.

All along the waterways are amazing mansions, compounds, restaurants and yachts. Many options are available including boat tours, renting a boat or going on your own along the walkways and docks. It's also delightful to dine and watch as boats command go and the tarpon make appearances. A great way to appreciate the area.
