Good for kayak but not for snorkel - Isabella was super good. We had kayak and went to the raccoon island. The kayak and raccoon experience was good. But snorkeling was beside the raccoon island. There was not much fish and the water is not very clean.

Cute but ecology is not their strong point - The raccoon experiment is really to be done. They're so used to it, they pounce on what you give them. They're also thirsty. Why don't you leave the cups permanently so they can be filled with fresh water??? (Rather than carrying beers for tourists!) Another plus would be to offer tourists to bring back on the kayak some garbage on their return, because this island is a real garbage can! You don't have to put music on the boat for a "nature" experience normally... The tour in the mangrove is nice but the guide had the flemme to come with us, he preferred to listen to his zik on his kayak. About the guide he also had the flemme to take us down a paddle, we had to insist heavily.

An Adventure on the Water: Snorkeling, Boating, and Kayaking - It all began with the calm, rhythmic waves gently lapping against the kayak. As we paddled out, the serenity of the water was like a mirror and we reached to an island The transition from kayaking to boating was seamless, with the salty sea back waters and catching glimpses of playful dolphins in the distance. But the real magic came when we anchored the boat and jumped in for snorkeling. Beneath the surface, an entire world of vibrant coral and curious sea creatures awaited. Schools of fish darted between rocks, their colors sparkling in the sunlight that filtered down through the crystal-clear water. Floating above them, time seemed to slow down, and the only sound was the gentle gurgle of my own breath. It felt like a dance with nature, each creature telling its own story as we swam alongside them. Majorly I would like to thank my Tour guide Ms Alexandra was so accommodating and helpful through out the trip

Nice but very confusing - no basic information from tour operators - Typically, a tour operator starts a tour explaining what is going to happen: "We will go from this boat to another and then do this activity and then this". They did not explain anything, just pointed us to the next thing. We were so confused. On the 2nd boat, they said to put our valuables in a box. Then we were on a kayak with no return to the boat until the end. So...we didn't have our cameras because now they were in the box. They could have said "put anything you don't want to take with you on the island in the box". There was no snorkeling on this Beginner Friendly Snorkeling Tour. Due to weather? Who knows? No explanation. That said, the locations were beautiful and we loved interacting with the raccoons on the island. There was a random visitor, not on our tour, who told us more about how the raccoons came to be there. Our tour guide said nothing and left us to go look for coconuts.

Not what we thought we were getting. - The description of this tour was not what we got. We were supposed to kayak or paddle board , our choice, for an hour on our own and then we were supposed to head over to raccoon Island to snorkel for two hours. Instead, we got on a kayak, headed to raccoon Island and got to the part for snorkeling. We got snorkels that were not clean, that’s gross, nor did we have enough for everyone. We only got to snorkel for about 45 mins. with no guide. The raccoon interactions was minimal and we didn’t see the wild life they claimed we would see. We were not told that we needed certain shoes for the water, and so I didn’t have water shoes and could not snorkel. The trip was short and un organized. Was not worth the $100 a person. The upside, we had the wrong address and was late and they waited for us. The guide was super cool and did her best under the circumstances. We made the best of it. First time in Miami.

Horrible Scam! - This is a scam. I never received any snorkeling instruction, and the only thing I saw was a dirty bandaid. Absolutely not a snorkeling trip. The owner was unresponsive and never called me back. The trip consisted of a kayak trip to an island filled with trash and raccoons even though it was called “Beginner Snorkeling Trip.” A waste of money and time! I was only in Miami for two days, and the one thing I wanted to do was snorkel.
