Overview

Paddle boarding and snorkeling are the best ways to get on and in the water. You will never get closer to nature. So close you can reach out and touch everything. Put them together with a little time hanging out on an island sipping cold drinks and munching on some fresh fruit and you will have one of the best days of your life.

This is the perfect activity for beginners or experienced snorkelers and paddlers. You don't even need to know how to swim. If you are feeling nervous while snorkeling just stand up. The crystal clear waters around the island are only about waist to chest deep. Plus we'll be there right by your side to teach and make sure you are safe and comfortable while in the water.

Of course the best part of snorkeling around the island is all the fish and wildlife you can see. Since the island is so close to a direct ocean inlet you can and will see many of the fish here that you would see out on the reef.

Itinerary

I’ll give you a brief introduction on the basics of paddle boarding and snorkeling before we head out onto the water to explore a mangrove jungle. As we paddle out to the island we’ll be on the lookout for all types of wildlife including; manatees, birds, crabs, fish possibly even a dolphin. We’ll explore the natural wonders of the area while on our way to the island where we will relax and snorkel. The island is terrific for beginners or more advanced snorkelers as there is plenty to see in the water. Even if you can't swim this is a great snorkeling spot. It's most shallow so if you ever feel uncomfortable at any point just stand up. Also, everyone will be equipped with a flotation device. While on the island we will enjoy fresh fruit and drinks. Including; watermelon, cantaloupe or bananas. Drinks included and totally free all you can responsibly drink; beer, hard seltzers and water. There is never a rush for time.

Other things to note:
Bring sunglasses, sunscreen, towel, bathing suit, camera, waterproof bag or case for your phone, and a positive attitude.

Anything you do not want to get wet can be stored while we are on the water.

    Tosh was so friendly and nice. We had a very windy day so the kayaking required lots of power. Not recommended for beginners or people who are not comfortable in open water kayaking. We had a really nice group of people. The little islands we stopped at unfortunately had litter and garbage. And there was no snorkeling. So the tour should not be called a snorkeling tour. But overall enjoyable and a fun experience.

    Miguel and Brandon were good tour guides, the experience we started by going on a boat ride for 20 mins and reaching a deck where the kayaks are tied and from there we kayaked to the islands. Please make sure that you WEAR SLIPPERS or Aqua Shoes as the places has a lot of STONES, even when snorkeling you might step into some rocky stones so please wear them as to our experience from the Racoon Island the whole trip we were not wearing shoes and we were not advised at the deck to bring them with us when we went to the Island there's a lot of branches and stones it was too painful to walk, the group before us came back with cut at her feet. We also arrived at peak time, there's not much fishes and raccoon, make sure come earlier before the boats come and make the raccoons and the fishes hide.

    I can't suggest this snorkeling tour enough! Tosh was such an incredibly personable and knowledgeable guide. The paddle boarding was amazing and the snorkeling was even better! Tosh pointed out such cool things on our tour and we got to see a crab literally come out of its shell. The entire staff was friendly and professional, it was a great value and a real highlight of our Miami trip for my daughter and I!
