As any visitor to Fort Lauderdale is well aware, there is plenty to see and do in and around this popular holiday destination. Thanks to the range of activities and Fort Lauderdale touts that are available during your stay in the city, you will find that you do not need to worry about having things to do when you get tired of relaxing by the hotel pool or having fun on the beach.

One of the most popular day trips available in Fort Lauderdale is the chance to charter a fishing boat and head out into the Atlantic Ocean in order to go fishing for sport fish such as Marlin, shark or swordfish. Rates to hire a boat and a crew in order to enjoy a fantastic experience of a day out on the water are very reasonable, although you may still want to share the cost of the boat with another person in order to have someone else to enjoy your trip more and socialize with your fellow passengers.

While Fort Lauderdale has a great shopping choice in the city center and also in the surrounding suburbs where most of the discount outlets are, it is still not as good as Miami when it comes to the amount of choice that consumers have. There are regular coach trips between Miami and Fort Lauderdale offered by the main hotels and local tour companies. These offer travelers the opportunity to be driven south along the coast in order to be taken to the top malls and department stores, or the cheapest malls around Miami so that you can find the best bargains in town and save a little bit of cash on your shopping bill.

Another great Fort Lauderdale tour option that many travelers enjoy is the chance to drive to the Cape Canaveral NASA launch facility. While this is a long drive north, it is well worth seeing for anyone who wants to see the incredible power of rockets or find out more about space. If there is a space shuttle launched during your trip to Florida, then it really is a fantastic opportunity to see something that really is a once in a lifetime experience.
