Boat Safari to Raccoon Island

A boat safari on Biscayne Bay led by a professional captain, heading toward Raccoon Island to look for wildlife, with a stop at Sandspur Island. It departs from the marina on Collins Avenue.

This activity is a guided boat trip across Biscayne Bay. A professional captain runs the boat, which leaves the marina, moves into open water and heads toward Raccoon Island. The route is built around spotting wildlife: raccoons, seabirds, dolphins, manatees and sea turtles along the shoreline and on the water.

The boat makes a stop at Sandspur Island, where passengers can step ashore for tropical views and photographs. Selected photos from the outing can be downloaded afterward. The trip is offered in English. It is not wheelchair accessible, so guests who need step-free boarding should keep that in mind before booking.

The outing suits visitors who want a nature-focused excursion on the water, whether they are passing through Miami or are curious about the bay's wildlife. Boarding is at the marina on Collins Avenue, and guests should plan extra time for parking and check-in before departure.
