⚠️ Important notes:##

1- It is forbidden to feed the raccoons.

2- While raccoons are typically visible on the island about 98% of the time, they are wild animals, and we cannot guarantee that they will approach you upon arrival. At times, you may need to venture a bit farther, and unfortunately, there may be occasions when you won't see many or any raccoons. Please be aware that there will be no refund provided in such instances. Additionally, raccoons tend to show up more when the beach is quieter, so we do not recommend scheduling visits on weekends or holidays.
