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.

5.00Wonderful experience, the listing said it was a long boat ride to the sandbar. Takes less than 10 mins! Plenty of time in the water with the Stingrays. Touching, holding, feeding them was amazing. No water shoes allowed on the sandbar (can injure the stingrays skin). Wear a hat and sunscreen, no shade out there.
We love Martina!

4.00A really fantastic experience having stingrays swim right by you! There was the opportunity to hold and feed the rays as well - not something I really agree with and I would have preferred to just let them swim by. Stingray City staff are all friendly. There are a lot of people with the rays all at once, probably too many really. Our driver for this trip was brilliant and even provided snacks for us, as well as giving us a mini tour of the sights along the way. Highly recommend!
Great Excursion to Stingray City

5.00It is what they tell you it is, and it was a lot of fun! You get picked up at your meeting spot, taken to Stingray City, have a short presentation on land and then take a 10 minute boat ride to the floating docks where the stingrays congregate on a sandbar. The hosts were all making sure everyone was having a good time and it was a solid experience for my family. Our driver, Keanu, went above and beyond during the trip. We were staying on the other side of the island so had plenty of time in the van with him, but he did a great job and took care of us with everything once we got there. I would definitely recommend this trip!
