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.

What a fantastic adventure! I went with my family, and we had such a great time kayaking through Coconut Cove. The guides were so friendly and made sure everyone was comfortable. We even got to learn about the Bonnet House, which was really interesting. I’ve never paddled before, but the guide made it easy to pick up, and the views were just gorgeous. If you're in the area, this is a must-do!

I had the most amazing time on the Bonnet House paddleboard tour! The scenery was absolutely stunning, and I loved learning about the history of the area. Our guide, Brian, was fantastic – very knowledgeable and made us feel super comfortable, even though I was a little nervous about paddle boarding at first. The whole experience was so relaxing yet active at the same time. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for a unique way to explore Fort Lauderdale’s beauty
