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.

This was a great time! We thoroughly enjoyed our tour guide Phoenix. She was funny and knowledgeable of Antigua. All of the staff at Stingray City were good too, but Phoenix was the Best!

We had a great time with the sting ray city crew. They made sure we were both safe and had a great time. My girlfriend can’t swim, and there were no issues getting her in and out of the water.

We had an amazing time snorkelling with the sting rays, even though there were loads of people there was plenty of space to swim with the rays by ourselves, definitely an amazing experience we wont forget. Really want to thank our driver and tour guide Keano, he was really nice, told us so much about Antigua, showed us where the best restaurants were, and he was just a really nice guy to spend the long drive with. Thanks Keano!!! It was great to meet you

I spent a pleasant experience with Giuliana. Professional and very competent: he was able to organize the day with attention to detail and well-suited suggestions on places to visit. Very nice and friendly, he immediately puts at ease with pleasant conversations and genuine smile. Available and discreet. I highly recommend it to those looking for a reliable, prepared and sunny company.

Our trip started when our driver Mr. Shane picked us up from our hotel. He was great and included Antigua and Barbuda facts on the journey to the stingrays. I learned more on that trip, than I had during our stay. Once at Stingray City the staff was organized and moved quickly to get everyone checked in and waivers signed. The boat ride to the stingrays was lovely. Once there you jump right in. My sons and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

This was a great excursion. We were on a cruise ship and the meeting point was very easy to get to. The guides were awesome. Lots of stingrays and the wranglers made sure everyone was able to hold and feed them. Would definitely go again!

Amazing!! Our driver Phoenix picked us up at our resort and took us to the dock area. Along the way she talked to us about the currency and the exchange rate, very interesting. She also explained the excursion and what to expect. A boat took us out to where the stingrays were and it was amazing!! We got to feed them, touch them and get our picture taken with them. They are so gentle and all the handlers were so good and mindful of the stingrays. I recommend not wearing the lifevest unless absolutely necessary as the water is not that deep, very easy to stand up in. I would definitely grab the snorkel stuff and take in the water with you as you will want it to be able to see all the stingrays under the water. I also recommend taking some sort of underwater camera if you love having pictures of your experiences like I do. When it was over, the boat took us back to the dock, we went in and purchased our picture and got our rum punch. Phoenix gave us a participation certificate, which was cute, then returned us to our resort. She was great and was telling us info on Antigua along the way back. So glad we did this, best day ever!
