What Landmarks Will You Visit on Raccoon Island Boat Tours?

Each boat tour covers a unique combination of Miami's most iconic coastal landmarks. Here is what you will experience along the way:

Raccoon Island (Sandspur Island)

The Main Attraction

An uninhabited 15-acre spoil island in North Biscayne Bay famous for its friendly, habituated wild raccoon population. As boats approach the shore, raccoons walk down the sand and wade into shallow turquoise waters to greet arriving visitors. Guests step off the boat into knee-deep water, take photographs, and observe raccoons foraging along the shoreline in a peaceful natural environment.

Indian Creek Village ("Billionaire Bunker")

Luxury Estates

Situated directly adjacent to Sandspur Island, Indian Creek is home to global icons, sports stars, and business moguls. Tour captains navigate along the deepwater channel, sharing fascinating details about the architecture, security protocols, and high-profile residents who call this private island home.

Haulover Sandbar

Miami Water Playground

A renowned shallow sandbar where boaters anchor in waist-deep, crystal-clear Atlantic bay waters. Most tours stop here for 45 to 90 minutes, allowing guests to swim, splash, float on inflatable lily pads, and enjoy drinks under the warm Florida sun.

Oleta River State Park Mangrove Trails

Urban Nature Ecosystem

Eco-tours and kayak excursions navigate through calm saltwater mangrove channels surrounding Sandspur Island. These sheltered waterways offer close encounters with wild manatees, spotted eagle rays, osprey, and brown pelicans in Florida's largest urban park ecosystem.

Activities & Experiences Included in Your Tour

From shallow water wildlife encounters to high-energy sandbar parties, discover what makes a day on Biscayne Bay unforgettable.

Wildlife Interaction & Photos

Stand in clear shallow water as raccoons explore the shoreline. Experienced captains guide guests on safe, respectful wildlife viewing without disturbing natural behaviors.
