Port Everglades (Fort Lauderdale) Cruise Guide
Visitors from landlocked areas are drawn to its miles of fabulous white sand beaches -- and to ride water taxis and water buses along its 300 miles (482 kms) of canals. The city also boasts upscale shopping, top museums and trendy nightlife. Lauderdale seems the ‘common man's' approachable answer to glitzy, bubbling-over Miami, less than 30 crowded miles to the south.
Sightseeing
Alternatively, visitors can take a land taxi to the edge of the Everglades and then roar over its waters on an airboat. This vast subtropical wilderness, a national wildlife preserve, is home to rare plants, birds and animals, including the endangered Florida panther, ospreys, manatees, black bear and saltwater crocodiles. There are several visitor centres that organise ranger-led walks and talks, tram tours and canoe trails.
Highlights:
• Everglades National Park
• Las Olas and Riverwalk shopping/entertainment promenades
• Canal network
• Museum of Art
• Museum of Discovery and Science
• Championship golf
