Exploring the city by water is one of the best ways to experience Fort Lauderdale, often called the “Venice of America” for its extensive canal system. Hop aboard the iconic Jungle Queen Riverboat for a classic sightseeing cruise featuring narrated tours, scenic mansions, and rich local history. For a more intimate and romantic experience, renting a gondola offers a peaceful glide through quiet waterways, perfect for couples and special occasions.

Another popular option is the Fort Lauderdale Water Taxi, a fun and convenient way to hop between waterfront attractions, restaurants, and beaches. With over 165 miles of navigable canals, water tours provide a relaxing, scenic, and uniquely Floridian perspective of the city—making them a must-do for visitors looking to see Fort Lauderdale from a different angle. 🚤🌴
