Overview

Embark on an enchanting kayak or paddleboard adventure along Fort Lauderdale’s Middle River. Glide through serene Island City canals and wildlife-rich landscapes toward preserved mangrove ecosystems.

These vital tropical wetlands feature red, black, and white mangroves — salt-tolerant “walking trees” with prop roots. They protect shorelines from erosion and storms, provide habitat for marine life, store carbon, and filter water.

Along the way, watch for iguanas on the banks, herons, egrets, and ibis overhead, leaping tarpon, playful dolphins, and gentle manatees play in warmer waters during manatee season (Nov 15 - Mar 31).

Expert guides share eco-insights, offer paddle tips,, take memorable photos, and adjust the pace for fun. Route leads to a tranquil 9.3-acre nature preserve — a hidden gem with mangroves and trails, ideal for stretching your legs and enjoying the beauty.

Wildlife sightings vary daily with stunning scenery and connection to Florida’s coastal ecosystem.
