Stingray City Antigua for all the ages - ROUND TRIP INCLUDED
Overview
Available languages
3 hours
Mobile ticket
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.

5.00Amazing experience! Highly recommend, we loved our tour guide Andrew he was so nice and took very good care of us. Once we got to stingray city there were several other tours there at the same time so it felt a little crowded in the water but still so fun! and one thing is if you are short like me just know that you may not be able to reach the bottom in most places so grab a life jacket when they offer them!! I wish I would have but I would still go again tomorrow if I could because getting to see those huge stingrays up close and personal is unlike anything you will ever do. Such a fun experience and I love that all the stingrays have different names! Highly recommend!
Unforgettable Experience

5.00We were able to spend a fantastic afternoon at Stingray City, made all the more special by the friendly staff who helped make us feel well cared for and not rushed during every stage of our experience. The guides were very patient with nervous guests and gave thorough instructions on how to deal with these shy but beautiful animals. A truly wonderful experience 100% recommended
Great family experience

5.00Fantastic experience. Firstly our driver Andrew was amazing, he really was fantastic with our children and also very informative while driving to sting ray city. The trip itself delivered in every way. We traveled with 4 children (2,4,9 &11) all could get involved which is rare for us. Would definatly recommend take your own snorkeling stuff
Phoenix was incredible. Whole thing amazing

5.00Firstly - PHEONIX was incredible. She was our driver to and from the experience and she had SO much knowledge! She knew so much and gave us a little tour there and back. She was a huge part of the experience and really gave us lots of local advice on food, drink, history, the experience. Phoenix was amazing!! Sting Ray experience in itself was also really good. You can’t be somebody who scares easy with this experience as the sting rays will brush up against you and swim up to you a lot. It’s an amazing experience I would highly recommend to anybody. Amazing - Thankyou!
A-MAZ-ZZING!!!

5.00Amazing! This is a must do if you're in Antigua! When I return to Antigua I will definitely resist! Staff are amazing! They're so good with the guests, very attentive, and also with the stingrays themselves - it's clear the rays recognise them and will be all over them wanting their attention.

5.00Andrew picked us up right at the cruise port and stayed with us the entire time. We had a great experience. While driving out to the stingrays he gave us history and showed us different places on the island. We did the trip with two kids ages 6/10 and I would recommend it. The water was a little deeper than I expected so take the life jackets. Not any fault of the tour operator. Just nature.

5.00Our day started by being picked up @ our resort by the amazing Miss Phoenix. She is so personable, welcoming and informative. Miss Phoenix is happy to explain all sorts of Antiguan facts on your drive and welcomes any questions you may have. Once we got to Sting Ray City every single staff member was kind and friendly. After a short informational session, and boat ride we were in the water with the sting rays. The “wranglers” are incredible, they are kind to the rays, and very patient with the guests. This experience was absolutely incredible all around!
