Bonnet House Ground, Gardens, Museum & Kayak/SUP Paddle Adventure

The quiet kayak tour was a great way to start the morning! January was a great tour guide, sharing her knowledge and love of the Ft. Lauderdale area. We kayaked through a small natural area adjacent to The Bonnet House and then along the Intracoastal Waterway. We were finished with our kayak paddle by 10 a.m., and it was too early to visit the Bonnet House and Grounds, which open at 11. That gave us to time to get a snack and more water at the nearby 7-Eleven and to enjoy the Ft. Lauderdale beach while we waited. The Bonnet House is amazing, and we could tell that the tour guides enjoyed sharing information about the family, the grounds and the house. There is also the opportunity to take a tram ride for a more detailed tour of the grounds (cost $5), which we opted not to do, especially after having done our paddle and the walking tour.

Very nice and informative staff. Wonderful kayaking with knowledgeable staff. Will definitely be taking more trips with them.

Lived in So Flo for many years, first visit! Fantastic. A throwback to a simpler and grand time in South Florida. The House and its history is so interesting. Decorated for the holidays. (Im syre tgeir special evening programs are wonderful. Guides informative and knowledgeable. Highly recommend the additional gardens tour for a $5p/p fee.. Our guide Barklay was so interesting and informative.

Courtney was a wonderful, charming tourguide - lots of stories about Florida, the history of the place, the culture - also responsive to the fact that I was doing a "vacation day" and we were able to dial back and not have too intense a kayaking day. Very nice!

Great location for a scenic and subdued experience. Wonderful informative guide coupled with ambience of the property, made for a fabulous day. I highly recommend!!!

Bonnet House and Grounds & Kayak Experience Courtney was a jewel! Self-guided tour of historic bonnet house and Gardens with an additional kayak trip of mansions, yachts & mangroves. I was able to do the house tour the day of my arrival, followed by my kayak trip from the grounds the following day at 11 AM. As I was the only participant and a solo traveler, Courtney volunteered to go out with me as a guide. She was very personable and took lots of photos for me. Great experience. Great Groupon value.

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!

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!
