After time on the island, guests will glide over the famous "river of grass.” Following the airboat ride, guests will get up close and personal with native and non-native reptiles that call the Everglades home. Don’t miss this unforgettable adventure that is sure to delight all the senses and resonate in your mind for years to come!

The Bonnet House Museum and Gardens is a hidden gem in Fort Lauderdale and one of the few complete homes and studios of an American artist open to the public. The mission of this estate is to preserve how unique and historic it is through enjoyable and enriching cultural experiences. In addition to the historic significance, the Bonnet House encompasses one of the last examples in South Florida of a native barrier island habitat.

Following a guided tour of the Main House, a Nature Trail Driver will take you on a 15-minute ride around the trail. The Driver will share information about the plants, animals and ecosystems of this 35-acre coastal wilderness. This 2-hour tour will show guests a different side of Fort Lauderdale and leave them with an experience they will never forget.
