OVERVIEW

Sail aboard a sleek catamaran to a collection of sandbars just offshore for an exhilarating up-close experience with southern stingrays. Once you settle in on the 50-foot catamaran Allura, the crew will raise the sails for a delightful cruise to Stingray City. The water there is shallow with plenty of sandbars, so you can make the most of your stingray interaction. Feel free to wade out as far as you’re comfortable, hand-feed the stingrays, stroke their sandpaper-like skin or just stand by and watch them from a distance. Although stingrays may look somewhat frightening, the reality is just the opposite. They are naturally shy and docile. The ones at Stingray City are so accustomed to people that they will typically approach as soon as you enter the water.


HIGHLIGHTS
• Visit a series of shallow sandbars with so many stingrays that it’s called Stingray City.
• Feed and touch the stingrays or simply observe them from a distance.
• Discover some of the reasons these bashful creatures are so misunderstood.


HELPFUL HINTS
• Dress in weather-appropriate clothing.
• Wear a swimsuit under a cover-up and bring a towel.
• Wear flat comfortable walking shoes.
