There are plenty of charter boat and sailing activities to choose from, and if you’re feeling adventurous, you can even take a Bahamas Day Cruise right from Fort Lauderdale. With easily customizable Fort Lauderdale vacation packages, we make planning your next Florida vacation a breeze.
Las Olas
Looking to experience Fort Lauderdale beyond the beach? There’s lots to do on Las Olas Boulevard—a lively and eclectic strip of restaurants, art galleries, cafes, bars and shops in the heart of Fort Lauderdale. The street is lined with unique restaurants and popular shopping boutiques, a handful of which are accessible by water taxi. Las Olas is less than a 15 minute drive from the Fort Lauderdale airport, and it’s a great place to take a stroll, day or night. One of our favorite hotels nearby is the B Ocean Resort Fort Lauderdale. With so much to do, it’s easy to add fun activities to your package like a walking food tour of Las Olas Boulevard and get caught up in the laid back vibes of the area.
Hollywood Beach
For a more “Old Florida” feel, take a short drive south to Hollywood Beach, where the streets are lined with picturesque palm trees, classic tiki bars, fresh seafood restaurants and vacay-worthy accommodations like the Diplomat Beach Resort.
Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show
There’s still a boatload more to do in Fort Lauderdale. The internationally renowned, the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show is hosted annually around late October to early November. Bringing a whole new meaning to the word “seafood,” the Boat Show features over 100 food vendors in addition to the hundreds of boats that attract visitors from around the world. Accommodations during the Boat Show fill up fast, so we recommend booking your hotel as soon as possible. One of the most conveniently located hotels for the Boat Show is B Ocean Resort Fort Lauderdale. And don’t forget: When you bundle JetBlue flights + hotel you get perks and savings you won’t find anywhere else—and you can be sure you’ll always be getting one of the best Fort Lauderdale vacation deals.
