Fort Lauderdale Canals Sightseeing + Haulover Sandbar or Whiskey Creek Boat Charter
Discover Fort Lauderdale’s stunning waterways, famously nicknamed the "Venice of America," through some of the best sightseeing tours.
With over 300 miles of canals, including 165 miles running through Fort Lauderdale, these tours offer unique access to the city’s hidden gems. Glide along the New River and marvel at the natural beauty, spotting mangroves, sea grapes, birdlife, and even manatees. Admire the luxurious mansions and mega yachts along Millionaires Row, explore iconic Port Everglades—the world’s busiest cruise ship port—and visit the impressive Bahia Mar Marina, home to breathtakingly massive yachts.
Perfect for tourists, couples, families, or friends, these tours provide an unforgettable experience. This tour, in particular, showcases spectacular views of downtown, grand waterfront estates, and countless bridges while navigating the scenic canals. Whether you have limited time or want to see more of the city from the water, this adventure promises lasting memories.
Besides Canals Sightseeing this tour allows you to explore the famous Haulover Sandbar, celebrated for its crystal-clear waters and lively vibe—ideal for relaxation or fun in the Florida sunshine.
Or we can stop at Whiskey Creek - a tranquil oasis offering a taste of old Florida charm, and it's only a stone’s throw away from the Intracoastal Waterway, just north of Port Everglades. Lush mangrove forests line the banks, providing a habitat for diverse marine life, while the sandy shores offer a secluded spot for picnics or simply soaking up the Florida sunshine.
