Fort Lauderdale Bonnet House Ground and Guided Paddle Board Kayak

Overview

Coconut Cove was once a mangrove and buttonwood swamp until the late 1920's, when the U.S. Army Corp. of engineers was granted permission to deposit the fill while dredging the Intracoastal. The fill caused the swamp to perish, which prompted Mr. Bartlett to plant rows of Coconut Palms where the current Bonnet House parking lot exists. The property is a blend of native and exotic flora including a desert garden, Orchid House, Shell Museum, Fruit Groves, Freshwater Slough, Wild Coffee, Silver Palms, Coontie Plants shaded by Gumbo Limbo, Seagrapes, Sabal Palms, and Paradise Trees to name just a few splendors in addition to the 1920 Bonnet House Museum with it's incredible architecture built around a Fountain Garden and displaying art, sculptures, and collectibles from all over the world. It is truly the last of Old Florida in the present day and a celebration of the protected history and the legacy of Frederic Clay and Evelyn Barlett's vision and talent.

Had an unforgettable time on this guided kayak tour! The kayaks were in great condition, and the water was calm, which made for such a peaceful experience. Our guide, Troy, was super friendly and made sure we were all enjoying ourselves. We even got some nice pictures of our group while learning about the history of Bonnet House. It was the perfect mix of nature, adventure, and history. I can’t wait to do it again!

I just did the paddleboard tour at Bonnet House, and it was incredible! The environment was peaceful, and the guide, Courtney, was excellent. She took the time to explain everything and made sure we were all safe and having fun. It felt like a great workout, but at the same time, I was so relaxed just floating on the water. I would definitely come back and recommend this experience to anyone visiting Fort Lauderdale.

This paddleboarding tour was a highlight of our trip to Fort Lauderdale! The canals, often called the "Venice of America," offer a stunning view of luxurious homes and mega yachts. Our guide was fantastic, offering insights into the area’s history while keeping things lighthearted and fun. We even had a chance to spot some wildlife, like colorful birds and a couple of turtles. It was an incredible way to see the city from a whole new perspective. Highly recommended!
