I’ll give you a brief introduction on the basics of paddleboarding and kayaking before we head out onto the water to explore a lush mangrove jungle. As we wind our way through narrow canals, we’ll be on the lookout for all different types of wildlife including; manatees, iguanas, birds, crabs, fish, raccoons even possibly dolphins. We’ll explore the natural wonders of the area for a couple hours before making our way into so mangrove tunnels where we will relax, swim and enjoy a delicious fresh fruit snack and drinks . Including; watermelon, cantaloupe, banana. Drinks included and totally free all you can drink; gatorade, soda and water. After we are all full and everyone is ready to go we will head back to shore. There is never a rush for time. Please keep in mind the manatees and dolphins we are spotting are wild animals roaming a large area. They are seen less often in the summer months. Don't worry there will still be many beautiful plants and animals to see and learn about.

Best time ever!
We had such an amazing time on our Raccoon Island excursion! It was genuinely one of the highlights of our trip to Miami. The whole experience was so much fun from start to finish, and our guides Sean, Tony, and Jose were incredible friendly, helpful, and made the day even more enjoyable.
The island was beautiful, we had the best time exploring and being out on the water, and everything felt fun and relaxed. We would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone visiting Miami. Such a memorable day and we’re so glad we did it!

Raccoon island
This was an amazing experience. We came here for Raccoon island all the way from upstate New York. The tour guide made everyone feel safe and prepared for everything. The raccoons were adorable and everyone had a great time. Thank you Sean, Tony and Jose for the amazing experience from the ride to the island and everything in between!

Kayaking and Raccoons
Phenomenal experience for a beginner kayaker that doesn't know how to swim. Once in on raccoon island, we had an awesome experience. Saw and fed a dozen furry friends while exploring the island. Will return if we come back to Miami. Our guides were Sean and Jose. A+++++
