Raccoon island
Shanda_D, October 2026
An amazing experience. Sean and Francis were amazing tour guides . They were very informative and professional
★★★★★Tripadvisor review
A great afternoon on the water.
255adamr, October 2026
We had a great time with our guides Sean and Kelsey. Captain Jose did an excellent job - he was very conscientious and did the little things like turning the boat into a wake so it wouldn't be so rough and slowing and stopping when we saw wildlife along the way. The boat "Cataria" is very comfortable with lots of different seating options - all nicely padded. The boat has a nice private bathroom. There was plenty of free water, Gatorade and sodas to drink throughout the tour and they served watermelon at the midpoint. The group had less than 20 people and there was room for everyone. The tour itself includes a nice view of Biscayne Bay and the many homes along the water. Sean and Kelsey took turns explaining the sights and history, from birds and animals, the history and development of the area, and pointed out some homes of the famous people. The mangrove kayaking was well managed, with options for single, double, and even a triple kayak. Sean and Kelsey made sure everyone was instructed and safe on the water. Afterward, we had time to relax, swim, or our choice - visit Racoon Island! This was a true highlight - there were many racoons and it was a treat to interact with them! We had plenty of time and didn't feel rushed. I would recommend this tour, and the trio of Sean, Kelsey and Captain Jose to anyone!

★★★★★Tripadvisor review
Wonderful experience!
michaelbS4581YC, September 2026
This was an amazing experience! Our guide was knowledgeable and helpful. The time spent with the raccoons was unforgettable! I would recommend this to anyone. One note, make sure you bring something to feed the raccoons. A small amount of fruit was provided but I think technically that was supposed to be for us.
★★★★★Viator review
So much fun!
Kimberly_T, September 2026
This was incredible!!! I was worried we wouldn't see any raccoon during the day, but they were everywhere. We didn't go too far from the beach but still saw at least 100 of them. Most of them would let you pet them, especially if you had food. They are so adorable.
