Unique fun, but bring sunscreen and bug spray - Fun experience! Make sure to bring sunscreen and bug spray. You will boat out to the kayak platform and then just a short kayak to the island. Not too hard. Decent amount of mosquitoes on the island but worth the trip for the price. Guides were great!

Highly recommend! - This was an amazing experience- we saw at least 5-6 different raccoons! We got to hand feed them, which was a bit terrifying, but amazing. The kayaking was fun and the free alcohol was a nice touch. The pontoon driver and guide were both super nice and helpful. Highly recommend!

Awesome Trip - The captain that took us to the kayaks and the tour guide were awesome. Took my daughter for her birthday and she loved it. Weather was also perfect.

Best thing to do in Miami - The best thing my buddies and I did in Florida. It was very fun and in general an amazing experience. Will was an amazing Captain. He joke around with us and told us about some fascinating places to visit and informed us on some interesting laws. Our guide, Sydney, was fantastic. She was so friendly and outgoing, she was funny and overall very kind. Amazing exploration and 100% recommend

Amazing Experience! - Trip was amazing! Deo was our guide and did an amazing job! We saw some great nature, but most importantly we saw a bunch of the friendly Raccoons we were hoping to. Deo had the inside scoop on where best to go on the busy island, and showed us a ton of other cool wildlife. This was for my Wife’s birthday and was an amazing choice. The other staff involved including our captain that relocated us to the launch boat, and Sean who was assisting us with the operations were great!

Great way to spend a couple of hours outside on the water - Went out with Jody and Dale and even though it rained the trip was great. Saw a couple of racoons and enjoyed the kayaking.

Very disappointing, briefly only saw two raccoons - Not as advertised. We only saw two raccoons, and one of them was sleeping in a tree. All the the hype and advertising for this experience built us up with this excitement that there would be dozens of raccoons eagerly awaiting for us at the beach … that simply wasn’t the case and we were left very disappointed.
