Fantastic time!

My boyfriend and I went on the nature & island exploration to raccoon island and it was the best excursion we’ve done so far in Miami. It started off with a pleasant boat ride out to the islands where we saw a couple landmarks along the way, and then a super lovely guided kayaking trip through the mangroves of an island by Sandspur. After that we were given time to swim, scuba, and of course, see the raccoons! Our guides Mira and Kelsey were great, they told us tons of fun facts about the area and provided various drinks & some fruit.

Kayaking and Racoon island

It was so fun! Thankyou to the Captain , Kelsey and Myra. Racoon island was my favorite part. A tip for those going is they’re inside of the mangroves so look closely near the base of the trees
