Miami: Beginner-Friendly Island Snorkeling by SUP or Kayak – Miami, Florida

EXPERIENCE

I ll give you a brief introduction on the basics of paddling before we head out onto the water to explore a lush mangrove jungle. As we wind our way through narrow mangrove canals, we ll be on the lookout for all different types of wildlife including; manatees, iguanas, birds, crabs, fish, raccoons possibly even dolphins.

We ll explore the natural wonders of the area while on our way to a small island where we will relax and snorkel. Yes snorkel even if you don’t know how to swim. Everyone will wear a safety vest to keep them afloat. Also if you get nervous just stand up most areas are shallow enough to stand. Sand spur island is the ultimate shallow water snorkeling spot.

After snorkeling you’ll enjoy a delicious fresh fruit snack and drinks. Including; watermelon, cantaloupe, banana. Drinks included and totally free all you can drink; beer, hard seltzers and water.

Once finished you’ll head back to shore. There is never a rush for time. Please keep in mind the manatees and dolphins we are spotting are wild animals roaming a large area. They are seen less often in the summer months. Don’t worry there will still be many beautiful plants and animals to see and learn about.

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