Stingray City, Antigua
Located in the North Sound area of Grand Cayman, Stingray is one of the most popular shallow water snorkeling spots in Antigua and one of Grand Cayman's top tourist attractions. Travelers claim it's a tourist trap — but probably a tourist trap worth it. It is a shallow pool with a sandy bottom amid a tropical reef, where hundreds of friendly southern stingrays glide through the crystal-clear waters waiting to be fed by visitors. If you're afraid of stingrays, this exciting face-to-face trip should help you overcome your concerns. Wading among friendly stingrays that swarm near the sandy shore allows aquatic enthusiasts to interact with marine life.
During the tours, you will get the opportunity to swim with, feed, and photograph these friendly rays. Previous guests have raved about how much fun it is to get so close to the animals, and they insist that it is very safe as long as you follow the instructors' guidelines. Stingray City can also be explored via snorkeling, scuba diving, or a glass-bottom boat. A tour can be booked through Stingray City, which includes free shuttle services from nearby resorts.
