A Little About Fort Lauderdale Florida

There is only one place in the southeast United States where you can introduce yourself to a wild dolphin in the warm waters of the Atlantic Ocean in view of 23 miles of sandy white beaches.

You can play with sea lions, snorkel with stingrays, and never leave the shores of the United States.

That place is Fort Lauderdale Florida, an amazing seaside city with enough wildlife and water-dwelling flora to keep even the most jaded city slicker occupied outdoors for days.



Just off the coast of Fort Lauderdale, you will find scary looking but actually quite harmless stingrays.

The most danger these creatures pose is if you step on them. Fortunately, when you're swimming with an experienced guide and snorkeling, there's not much chance of that happening. You can even pet them (the rays, not the guides!). Also living in the warm waters of the Florida ocean side are the enormously cute sea lions. These curious little creatures love to hug, kiss, and play with people. They'll eat right from your fingers, and do lots of cute little human things with their hands.

This popular member of the whale family is probably the best-known mammal living on the Florida coast next to the humans! There are different types of dolphin encounters offered, for various skill levels of snorkeling and swimming. Tame dolphin encounters are for newer swimmers or people who have not had experience swimming with sea mammals before. These dolphins have been specially trained to perform tricks and interact with humans in the water. The other kind of dolphin encounter is for the more experienced visitor. This is the wild dolphin encounter, where guests go with a guide to locate pods of wild dolphins and interact with them. While these animals are gentle, they don't act like trained dolphins! These kinds of animal encounters can be some of the most amazing memories you carry back with you.

There isn't anything you won't like about a trip to Fort Lauderdale. Vacationing here with the dolphins is just one of a number of excellent ways to spend your valuable free time.
