Mobile ticket
The newspaper Times Uk has included the activity of swimming with the breeds among the top 3 experiences to live in Antigua during a holiday on this island.
Bathing with Stingrays is by far the most unforgettable experience you can live in your stopover in Antigua. After 8 minutes by boat you reach a floating platform. 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). There is no need to know how to swim because THE WATER IS SHALLOW. It can be done by children from 1 month up to people 90 years old, getting on and off the boat is very simple and accessible even for those with mild mobility problems.

Swimming with the Rays

5.00We really enjoyed this experience. At the start on the shore, you are told what to expect and how to feed the Rays. You are then taken by boat to a pontoon in the sea about 10 minutes from the shore. The crew were excellent, and we got into the water. The Rays immediately appear and swim around you. The crew take your photo (if you want) and gives you the food for them. I swam around watching the Rays and they are so tame. A really good experience to do in Antigua.
Great experience - don't miss this!

5.00Amazing experience - up close and personal with big and beautiful stingrays in waist-high water. Very well organized, their team picked us up at the resort and dropped us back off after the boat trip.

5.00We had a fantastic time throughout the morning. From getting there, the boat ride and the information they gave us. The guides have great knowledge. The rays just swim by you can feed them too. Definitely a trip to do when visiting Antigua.

1.00Purchased ticket only (no transport needed) through ta and recieved a confirmation number. 30m later missed an email with a question about transport, then a cancelation notice shortly after. They had my phone number but didn't bother to call or text. Bad business to cancel ticket only groups so they can make more $ off the transport.
Too many peole

3.00Being out in the ocean and interacting with the stingrays was great. However, there were too many people crowded together on the sandbank. We kept running into other people, and we were worried about injury to the stingrays. With that size of crowd, I’m not sure if the guides can ensure the safety of the gentle creatures. My thirteen year old who usually loves these types of experiences was unsettled by the crowded situation.
