Cruise the waterways of Biscayne Bay
to Raccoon Island
After a safety briefing of about 15 minutes at the Venetian Marina, you set off.

A licensed captain and professional crew are on board, along with shaded seating, an onboard bar and a restroom.
Walk the island with a guide on Raccoon Island

When you reach Raccoon Island, step off the boat and explore the island with a guide for about 45 minutes. The captain or crew help you spot raccoons and local wildlife and share facts about the island's ecosystem.
Swim in shallow, clear water and relax on a float

Enjoy about 45 minutes of free time swimming in the shallow water around Haulover Sandbar or relaxing on a float. The boat stays anchored nearby, so you can access your belongings, shaded seating, the restroom and water floats at any time.
Pass the Billionaire Bunker of Indian Creek Island on the way back

On the return cruise, spend about 30 minutes passing Indian Creek Island, known as the "Billionaire Bunker," and Miami's luxury waterfront estates. The tour ends back at the Venetian Marina.
