The waterway that built this city. Early settlers used it to move goods to the coast, and today you'll glide past yachts, waterfront homes, and downtown's skyline along the same stretch of water.

An open-air spot on the water with bars, food vendors, and a good crowd. A nice one to note if your group wants to grab a bite after the tour.

A mile of parkland tracing both banks of the New River through downtown, connecting spots like the Museum of Discovery and Science and the Broward Center for the Performing Arts.

Fort Lauderdale's oldest surviving building, built in 1901 by Frank Stranahan, the trader often credited as the city's founder. It's still standing quietly on the riverbank, a real link to what this city looked like before the skyline went up.
