Highly recommend this tour!

My wife and I had a great time in this tour! Our captains Spencer and Ren were amazing! The boat itself was clean and had all of the amenities you would need. A bathroom, bar with snacks and drinks, plenty of seating and plenty of speakers for the music. We were able to see a bunch of raccoons on our tour and then went swimming at the sandbar afterwards. Along the way they also gave us some great information about the animals, geology and history of Miami. We also went by billionaire island and viewed the mansions. I would definitely recommend this tour for anyone

It was a fun afternoon,...

It was a fun afternoon, the raccoon island experience was amazing! Bring treats and lots of water to share with the raccoons!

Five stars would recommend

Had a great time on this party boat was very chill, but they kept it interesting with sightseeing, music, and karaoke. The host I had were David, Zoe, Spencer. Raccoon Island was great! The raccoons were very friendly and not aggressive at all. David also showed us around the island and we seen a few other animals to include an iguana. We then enjoyed about an hour of swim time at a different location. And then on the way back, they showed us some more sites and we did karaoke. Sidenote the food was pretty good too. Be sure to bring extra cash or card for food, drinks and tips. Would definitely do this excursion again.

Wonderful fun!

Wear some sturdy walking shoes for the island that can get wet and wear your swim suit. A hat and sunglasses for sure!

Cutest Raccoons and more!

Captains Spencer and Ren made everyone feel welcome. I did the optional guided tour of Raccoon Island with professional tracker Ren and saw raccoons right away. We also saw other animals and plants and some people laid out on the sand. Spencer had many interesting facts on the way and really got the party started on the way back. The sandbar was warm water and fun - they even provided huge floaties for us. Five Stars!!

Superb activity!

Big wow for us! The staff was super welcoming and kind! The trip went really well and the crew gave us lots of info on what we could see! Once on Racoon island, we were able to take a nice tour and feed/give water to the raccoons…we loved it! Then, the swimming on the sandbar was a highlight of our trip. Everything went well and the activity really exceeded our expectations! We recommend that everyone do this activity and hope you get to have Alex and Zoé as your crew! They are great!
