Come with us into a little corner of Old Florida as we begin a 90 minute horseback ride in the rural town of Davie. We experience a rare example of unhurried South Florida as we take advantage of some of Davie’s 60 miles of equestrian trails. Relax as we trot, canter and walk the horses over bridges, through shaded paths and past Longhorn steers and burros.

Before we head down the trail, the tour begins with a short orientation on what to expect and how the horses should be treated. First time riders are more than welcome to join us. Experienced riders are encouraged to take the lead at the front of the group.

Our next stop is the old-time Florida attraction “Flamingo Gardens,” where you will be inspired by the beauty and diversity of tropical and subtropical plants from around the world. Plant species include 19 “champion trees.” In order to get a full appreciation of the park’s 60 acres, we join a 30-minute narrated tram tour. This day of seeing a Florida that visitors rarely encounter will not be soon forgotten.

Full inclusions and pricing are provided on request.

Art on Las Olas

Named for an early oceanfront estate, Las Olas (“the waves” in Spanish) has been the most prominent thoroughfare through Fort Lauderdale since the first days of its settlement. This noted boulevard, carved from an ancient hardwood hammock, takes us from the heart of downtown Fort Lauderdale, through a quaint and walkable shopping district, past the fabled “isles” that have earned the city the nickname “Venice of America” and all the way to beautiful Fort Lauderdale Beach. Today, Las Olas Boulevard is a place teeming with history and culture and cherished as a welcome respite against the intrusions of the more commercialized suburbs.

Nautical Wanderings through Broward County

Come with us on a local journey celebrating a small corner of Florida’s nautical history. Before the advent of planes, cars and even trains, Florida’s long peninsular shape and subtropical climate made travel by land difficult. Great sailing ships, from ancient Spanish Galleons to elegant schooners of the early twentieth century were the transport of choice when visiting Florida’s inviting shorelines and plying her sometimes storm-ridden coasts.
