Snorkel a reef teeming with tropical fish and enjoy an even closer encounter with the local marine life by interacting with stingrays off a nearby island. You will cruise to a coral reef that the captain has chosen after assessing the water conditions to ensure that you have the best possible experience. While there is no telling exactly what you will see, neon-colored parrotfish, yellowtail snapper and angelfish are commonly spotted off Grand Turk. Hawksbills, loggerheads and green sea turtles also inhabit these waters, which are known for their clarity. Continuing on, you will soon arrive at Gibbs Cay, which is nicknamed Stingray City for the abundance of these docile marine creatures. Once you wade out into the shallow waters, the stingrays will approach and allow you to touch their bodies. You will notice that their skin feels like sandpaper, although it looks smooth. Following the stingray encounter, rum punch will be served.
