Due to poor weather our...
Due to poor weather our tour started late and they cancelled the kayak portion which was completely understandable. Our boat dropped us off on the island and told us we had 2 hours to explore and then left. There were no staff members on the island, no snacks and we were only given one piece of watermelon for the raccoons. We saw several raccoons which was awesome but this experience was definitely not worth the money. I still can’t get over the fact that they left our group alone on the island for over two hours.

Perfect afternoon kayaking to Raccoon island
Really awesome trip to Raccoon Island! 🦝🌴 Perfect guides Sean, Tony, and Cody. They gave us a great explanation of how to kayak—and, importantly, how to get safely into the kayak! 😄 We saw a lot of raccoons. They absolutely love watermelon and water! 🍉💦🦝 Thank you so much for this great afternoon!!

Would go again!
So so fun! Meeting raccoons has been on my bucket list for the longest time and I love them so much the ones we met were babies too and also fussy eaters but they can get away with it after we are on their island 😛 The tour guides were super fun and informative overall a great day and would love to go again!

10/10 came from Spain to experience this. The tour started on time. I was able to kayak the mangroves and see many raccoons. Went during the first week of August and the weather was surprisingly great.

A rad time with raccoons
Had an absolute blast on this tour! It was a crazy experience pulling up to the shore of Raccoon Island and seeing nearly 30 raccoons sprint out from the brush to the beach. The raccoons are super friendly and clearly very comfortable around people (presumably because many people come to the island to feed them). If you're holding food, they may come up and gently touch your legs, but they were gentle and won't bother you if you're not holding anything they might want. Our tour guides were also super nice and knowledgeable about the local ecosystem. I'd highly recommend this tour if you're in Miami and looking to kill a few hours during the day!
