HISTORY The City of Fort Lauderdale is named for a Second Seminole War fortification built on the banks of the New River in 1838. That year, Major William Lauderdale led a detachment of Tennessee Volunteers south along the east coast of Florida to capture Seminole agricultural lands and battle the elusive Indian warriors. Altogether, three forts named after Major Lauderdale would be constructed: the first at the fork of New River; the second at Tarpon Bend; and the largest on the beach at the site of Bahia Mar. None of the forts survive today. Incorporated on March 27, 1911, encompassing approximately 36 square miles with an estimated population of 186,220, Fort Lauderdale is the largest of Broward County's 31 municipalities and one of the ten largest cities in Florida.

WORLD FAMOUS BEACHES Our Journey will go thru the heart of the World Famous “Venice of America” Isles with only 1 way in via land and yet many of these mansions host mega yachts from 1 of the many Fort Lauderdale rich and famous as your Guide will be happy to point a few out. We'll cross over the Las Olas Bridge and Intracoastal Waterways providing some of the best “Kodak” pictures and onward to Fort Lauderdale Beach which hosts millions of visitors from all over the world. Don't hesitate to ask your Guide for the best places for live music, happy hour, waterfront dining, entertainment, and of course laying on the beautiful sandy beach. From the new plaza and marketplace to the Beach Park that hosts Tortuga and Riptide Music Festivals; Fort Lauderdale Beach is the place to be almost every week of the year something is going on. Straight from the beach, we will hop over to Hugh Birch State Park with beautiful nature trails and other eye candy to absorb.

Most Popular Exploration Our Electric Tour will travel all around and thru the heart of Fort Lauderdale providing Guests with the Best and most popular way to see Fort Lauderdale and enjoy a yearly average of over 300 sunny warm weather days. This Tour usually takes between 2 to 2.5 hours depending on stop times and group sizes.
