Wonderful day with raccoons! - We had a wonderful time! Our captain showed us the best places to see and feed the raccoons! It was amazing!We could have snorkel and swim on the sandbar but we preferred to relax on the boat , we saw a lot of wonderful houses along the shore. We highly recommend this tour!

We enjoyed our time. The... - We enjoyed our time. The kids loved it. Definitely doing it again in the near future. My suggestion to others if they go to raccoon island do 4 hours because you will be looking for them if the island is full of people.

Unforgettable experience - The ride there was smooth. She showed us the celebrity houses. She told us the raccoons love doritos. So we went to the corner store by the dock and got some. And there was over 20 raccoons. She was so nice, patient and professional. We had alot of fun. Already recommended to family and friends.

Give Captain Monica A Raise - A captain makes the experience and Captain Monica made it THE BEST ONE! Seriously, read the other reviews and you'll see all the best ones are about her!! We felt so lucky to ride with her and spent the day laughing and talking and learning from her - she is so knowledgable about all the wildlife and local celebrities and is so quick with the jokes! She showed us all the secret spots that aren't overtaken by crowds of party-goers and was so accommodating about taking us to the best snorkeling and picnicking spots. We had the BEST time on Raccoon Island thanks to her tips and insider information and we are already planning another trip with more friends who are jealous they couldn't make it!! Of course, we will only sail with the one and only Captain Monica - tip her well, she is a national treasure!

We were told majority of... - We were told majority of the raccoons where recently removed from the island and no one knows what happened to them. The city possibly euthanized part of the population or someone took them. There is less then 10 on the island now and we saw 2 for a brief moment and then they ran away. Sadly, even though our captain was great, the $500 price tag for 2 hours was not worth it for our family.

Cute short trip - Very cute to feed the raccoons grapes. They loved the bottled water the most. Like to take the bottle in their hands with your help and drink it all. They do not have fresh water on the island and are in danger of dying of dehydration. The 4 raccoons were saw were well fed. We had to walk through the path to find them. A little scarey due to spider webs all over with banana spiders. Almost walked into a few. Try not to go on a weekend too many people partying on the beach there. Guide was very friendly Nice boat Nice short trip to do something a little different

Not worth $800.00 - Our trip was supposed to start at 2:00. It didnt start until 2:30 when the boat came back with previous patrons. We were told there was ice, water and champagne on the boat. The ice in the cooler had garbage in it - champagne corks and metal pieces that hold the cork on. The champagne we were given was warm. As was the water. The operator had trouble starting the boat. The condition of the boat was rundown. Seat seams were coming apart and the ladder - which should have been on the back of the boat, was not there. We had to use the cooler as a step stool for one of our party to get on the boat after we went to the island. I addressed these issues with the owner and the best they would do for me was give me 10% off my next trip with them. Who would go back after that experience? Not me!

Stay away! - Stay away from the company. I give a star for the captain as he was brilliant ,very friendly person and opened to others. More people like him would definitely help the company. In general we saw 3 maybe 4 raccoons, one close enough. We didn't mind to pay 400 USD for two hours trip but there is another additional charge of 100 usd which is hidden and its only clear when you get confirmation email. 5 minutes after receiving confirmation email and spotting additional charge I contacted customer service and requested refund which was refused as I was told it's not acceptable as the booking was made with less than 24hrs to go ....refund request was 5 minutes after I received confirmation email. If company insist that there is no refund given if booking made less than 24hrs then they should not allowed to book any trips within 24 hrs. Pure rip off. Stay away.
