The newspaper Times Uk has included the activity of swimming with the stingrays among the top 3 experiences to live in Antigua during a holiday on this island. We offer you the opportunity to live this unique experience in one morning, so you can dedicate the other remaining hours of the day to other activities.
The great thing about this experience is that it is suitable for any age group, from 0 to 99 years old. To access the boat you have to take 2 steps, so everyone will be able to access it even those who have mild back or leg problems. The boat ride takes only 8 minutes. Once you arrive you will be able to go down to the sea with a height of 150 cm (4.75 ft) then you will touch (the tide may be higher in some days). You will interact with these fantastic animals in their natural habitat, it is not a zoo or a circus, so the whole thing is in full respect for the animal. The guide will take pictures of you, so you can take home a fantastic memory of this unforgettable day.

Worth the hype

4.00Transfer to dockside was well organised and our driver gave us a mini tour en route. He remained with us when we arrived at the embarkation point giving useful information and instructions. Although there were a lot of people at Stingray City we were arranged into groups so we didn't feel overcrowded. On arrival at the sandbar wranglers were on hand to entice the Stingray and to answer questions and to share their knowledge. I was surprised and happy to see that the wranglers love their job and have built up a special bond with the rays. There was no pressure to hold the Stingrays, although many people chose to, we were happy to just be amongst these amazing creatures who were swimming freely around us. We had plenty of time to immerse ourselves before the boat ride back.

5.00I was apprehensive about this trip but once I got there i was blown away!! I booked this when on a cruise around the Caribbean. Pick up was on time and i received emails to advise any updates. The experience was amazing, i was able to get videos of the stingrays under water and photos of my husband and myself holding a stingray, there was no rush and only 20 of us there at the time which gave us plenty of space to watch them and interact with them. I would highly recommend this trip and would have no doubt booking with them again. Thank you for a great experience which will stay with me for a long time
Great experience!

5.00We had such an amazing time! Our driver, Andrew, and our boat captain, Adonis, were knowledgeable, friendly, and so accommodating. Every single staff memeber was kind and helped us get out of our comfort zone in the best way Shout out to Trouble who helped my friend feel comfortable enough to try and feed them!!! We also had a group who's cruise line switched up the embarkation time and Andrew made sure we were back in time for them to catch their boat. Everything was incredible (and the rum punch definitely was not lacking on rum!) I would highly recommend this tour to a friend.
Awesome experience! Great guide!

5.00Definitely recommended. After a bit of confusion in the run-up to the pick-up time (you have to stick to what you get sent as a message, that doesn't necessarily match the ticket, but then worked out great) we were picked up on time by Andrew. He told us a lot about the island and superbly looked after us at Stingray City. The highlight was of course the rays, which is an unforgettable experience where you can take great photos and films. Everything is organized in such a way that you definitely arrive on time again on the ship. Be sure to book!
Nice experience
