Make the most of your Gold Coast holiday

From amazing wetland safaris to unforgettable sightseeing cruises and spooky tours of Fort Lauderdale’s most haunted areas, there’s such a broad variety of Gold Coast holiday attractions. You can’t fail to find something to surprise and delight you and your fellow holiday makers, young or old.

 

Adventure activities

Alligator.

When you think of wildlife in Florida you probably think of the Everglades National Park, but amazing animals also number among the many Gold Coast holiday attractions. Billie Swamp Safari opens 2,200 lush acres of its Big Cypress Seminole Indian Reservation to the public. Keep your eyes peeled for Billio Spot deer, water buffalo, bison, wild hogs, hawks, eagles, other rare birds, alligators and even Florida panthers.

 
Boat at sea.

Boat tours

The ever changing scenery of Fort Lauderdale’s New River is another major Gold Coast holiday attraction, and the best way to experience it is on the Jungle Queen Riverboat Cruise. Over three glorious hours take in the plush waterfront homes, downtown Fort Lauderdale, sailing yachts and storage basins. Plus, get a taste of the Everglades and stop off in the Jungle Queen Indian Village.

Dining/food and wine

If you like all things Hawaiian, be sure to add the multi-sensory experience that is the Mai-Kai Dinner Show to your list of must do Gold Coast holiday attractions. You’ll cross a rope bridge into another world full of giant tikis, thatch roofs, outrageous costumes, palm trees, and waterfalls. Just don’t forget your Hawaiian shirt.

 

Night Tours

Taking place in the dead of night by lantern light, the Fort Lauderdale Ghost, Mysteries and Legends Tour takes you along the haunted Las Olas River Walk. Discover all things haunted and ghostly, from the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle to Spirits Trapped in Time - it’s not for the faint hearted.
