Shared Raccoon Island TripShared Raccoon Island Trip

Overview

Go early, beat the crowds for better Raccoon encounters. Get ready for a fun and unforgettable Miami boat tour to one of the city’s best-kept secrets—Raccoon Island! Accessible only by boat, this 2-hour guided small group experience takes you into the heart of Biscayne Bay, where you'll spend time exploring the island’s tropical shoreline and meeting its playful raccoon residents up close in their natural habitat. Along the way, enjoy a scenic cruise past celebrity mansions, Star Island, and the exclusive Billionaire's Bunker. Keep an eye out for dolphins, manatees, and native birds as we travel across the bay. This is a one-of-a-kind Miami excursion—part wildlife encounter, part hidden island adventure—that few ever get to experience. Why Weekday Mornings Only? After years of guiding guests to Raccoon Island, we’ve learned that early weekday mornings offer the best chance to see raccoons. On weekends and holidays, the island becomes a popular boating party spot, which can scare the raccoons into hiding. And during hot midday hours—especially in summer—they often retreat deep into the island’s shade, making sightings far less likely. ⚠️ What You Need to Know The Island This is an uninhabited, wild island in the middle of the bay. There ARE NO FACILITIES, no bathrooms, no docks. You must enter the water from the boat to walk ashore. Think of it as a hike on a deserted island. DRESS ACCORDINGLY and bring shoes capable of getting wet. Summer months = Mosquitos on the island. We highly recommend bringing insect repellent. APPLY BEFORE BOARDING Tour Times We offer these trips based on the BEST time to see Raccoons on the island. Early mornings before other people arrive and on weekdays only when there are the least amount of people on the island. Raccoon No-Shows Raccoons are spotted on the island during the vast majority of our visits. However, they are wild animals in their natural habitat, so their behavior can vary. While they’re often curious and visible, we can’t guarantee they’ll come close or be active during your time on the island. On rare occasions, you may need to walk a bit to spot them, or you may not see any at all. Please note: Because this is a wildlife experience, sightings are not guaranteed and refunds will not be issued based on raccoon activity. Feeding Raccoons Please be aware that feeding wild animals in Florida is prohibited by law. While our captains provide guidance and ensure a safe experience, we do not monitor or control individual actions on the island. Any interaction with wildlife, including feeding, is done at your own discretion and risk.
