We had an amazing time and the tour guide was super friendly. They made sure everyone was having a good time and understood what to do, the islands were absolutely beautiful, and the raccoons were adorable.

A Wonderful and Unique Experience!

Tom_R, Jan 2025

Such a wonderful and unique experience! The raccoons were friendly and hungry! Getting to kayak after the island visit was really lovely, too. Strongly recommend!

Everything i hoped and more!

Michelle_V, Jan 2025

The experience was amazing. More than expected. Our guide Izzy stocked us up with watermelon and a cooler of water, seltzer and beer! We kayaked to racoon island with Sidney. She was so friendly. There, we played with the raccoons and snokelred. There was conch shells and Sydney pointed out what the different fish were from puffer fish to baby barracuda. It was so fun

Great paddling!

Miland_P, Jan 2025

The kayak across to the island was fun. Feeding and interacting with the raccoons was amazing! Tony was a great guide that took good care of us. I also really enjoyed paddling through the mangroves. Highly recommend this tour.

North Miami hidden gem.

LesleyAnne_H, Dec 2024

The start to the day was a little shaky, but this company is quite new in business and definitely made up for the start. We had a fantastic time and thoroughly enjoyed the trip. The snacks, tour, beverages and of course the raccoons were so much fun. We highly recommend this trip to anyone.

Great afternoon on raccoon island with Alejandro and Sean.

Mark_A, Dec 2024

We loved our trip to raccoon island the two guides made the day Alejandro and Sean. They were very informative and took us round the island where we met all the raccoons and also for a tour around the Everglades loop where we got to learn about the crabs which live in the trees and numerous birds. Sean was good with my wife because she was very scared at the beginning but made her feel welcome and calmed her down and by the end she loved the trip. Next time we are in Miami we will return. Thanks for a great afternoon.

Absolutely loved this...

Absolutely loved this excursion!! Got some paddling in and got to see these adorable racoons!!! Highly recommend this excursion.

Fun experience with my daughter

Lee_K, Dec 2024

Izzy and Angie were great hosts. Angie truly enjoyed her job and went out of her way to make our experience safe and fun. We will most likely come back again and recommend the trip to hour friends and family.My daughter and I enjoyed the experience. The others in the group seemed to have had a good time too from the laughter and picture taking. We also made some new friends.

Worth it!

Marina_A, Dec 2024

The whole experience is extremely organized. You have a chance to kayak, paddle-board and see raccoons. Drinks and some fruit snacks are provided. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. Special shoutout to Tony. Would definitely recommend. Ps. You will get wet below waist, so wear swimsuit and bring a change of clothes, towel + slippers.

Best Miami tour

Gonzalo_M, Nov 2024

Ashley our guide was excellent. Helpful bilingual friendly and informative. Excellent tour for all ages

Great tour!

Stephanie_S, Nov 2024

We had a wonderful time on this tour. Really enjoyed the kayaking but obviously all the raccoons were the highlight of the tour. So cute and loved the watermelon! Our guide Angie was lovely and informative and guided us around the island. Thanks for a great you!

Worth the trip to Florida!

Jerome_D, Nov 2024

Lindsey and Sean were very welcoming and helpful. The kayaking was not very long - may e about 15 minutes at most before pulling ashore at the island. The raccoons were so cute and eager - but they do get overexcited sometimes and try to grab food from bags or hands.

10/10 Experience

Jessica_D, Nov 2024

We loved seeing all the raccoons we brought our own fruit and they were loving it, Ashley our tour guide was amazing loved everything about this trip would do it again!

Racooons

Michael_R, Nov 2024

Extremely professional and friendly. Great experience and raccoons were extremely cute. Everyone from this tour company was great and I’d recommend this as the best way to see the island.

Great little adventures

Charles_c, Nov 2024

Our guide Alihandra was great. We saw a dozen raccoons. It was an unforgettable experience. I would highly recommend.

Really fun experience

omcescu_B, Nov 2024

Really cool experience, the raccoons are the cutest creatures ever, if you have a piece of anything edible, they will come rushing for you and start begging for it. Our guides were very cool , and took great care of our safety. Overall a very fun experience, the only downpart is that you can’t pick the raccoons up and get them home.

Great experience!

Carissa_F, Oct 2024

What an amazing day! We saw dolphins from afar while kayaking, the boat ride was exciting, and RACCOONS! Tour guide was so friendly and knowledgeable and boat captain was also a great help. 10/10 recommend and if I’m in town again will absolutely go again. I had to much anxiety about not kayaking and everyone was so supportive and rooting me on and now I can’t wait to go kayaking again.

Worth every penny!

Brynn_D, Oct 2024

Our tour guide Aaron was very knowledgeable and very friendly. Getting up close and personal to raccoons was a dream come true!

Loved the Raccoons experience! Bring extra food and your muscles!

Ryan_E, Oct 2024

Tony Montana was excellent. I think the highlight of the trip was raccoon Island. Make sure you bring some grapes or extra food as they just give you a couple slices of watermelon. The only critique I have maybe they could try to reduce the amount of kayaking somehow. It was a bit much for us haha me basically paddling for myself and my girl like over an hour of kayaking in windy waters/waves. But overall I was a great time. You kayak over to the first island then they take you on a boat to another kayak station where you Kayak to raccoon Island. Then they Kayak on the boat back and you kayak back so it becomes alot.

Loved it

Katie_L, Oct 2024

Raccoon island was the highlight of my trip. The raccoons were so friendly and sweet. And Tony was the cherry on top. He made the adventure so much fun.

Highly recommend!

Angelica_A, Oct 2024

I love raccoons so decided to book this experience. You start out by meeting your tour guide and kayaking or paddle boarding to a small island. From there, you’re picked up by boat to go to another area where you’ll have to paddle board or kayak to get to Sanspur (or Raccoon) Island. Once there, the raccoons start coming out! There were so many! The experience is worth it! Gabby, Captain Drip and Angie were great! Drinks and fruit (mainly for the raccoons) are provided too.
