Itinerary
One of the most important natural attractions that has made Antigua famous in the world is by far the bath with the stingrays in their city in the middle of the sea: Stingray City. To reach the point where these extraordinary and friendly animals are located, you will have to take a fast boat for a duration of 8 minutes each way. Once we arrive we will be able to go down into the water where you touch it and the height will be 1.40 meters. Breeds are very sociable and not dangerous animals at all. They will be caressed and towards so that they can feed them. Recall that they are in their natural habitat, no cages or nets.
The Devil's Bridge is by far the most famous natural point in all of Antigua. Think that every year thousands and thousands of people are drawn to the charm of this natural rock bridge to admire the spectacle of the waves that break inside it. The guide will be able to explain to you the reasons why this bridge has this name. Remember to bring your camera to take the perfect photo of the wave as it breaks inside.
White talc-like sand and crystal clear waters, these are the features that make Long Bay one of the most popular beaches on the island. Famous for its seabed, convenient place to snorkel with the equipment offered by us. For those who like to relax, you can take advantage of this stop to take romantic walks or to rest in the shade of a tree.

We had another couple recommend this experience to us at our resort, we thought it looked fun. We did not think it would be one of the best experiences of our trip!!! Greta was an amazing guide and made sure we had THE BEST experience on the island. And she was very knowledgeable about anything that we asked. The stingrays were phenomenal it was a once in a lifetime experience swimming in the middle of the ocean with stingrays! Devils Bridge and Long Bay Beach were also top-notch, but the pivotal point of this excursion is the stingray!! 10/10 would recommend to anybody not knowing what to do.
Andrew was great as a guide and very informative. Love the stingray experience and the beach was beautiful!
Marco was amazing! He is extremely knowledgeable and taught us about the stingrays and the island. He was committed to make sure we had a great time and enjoyed every minute with him. This is a definite must do when you visit the island and be sure to ask for Marco!
We did a full-day tour, and it was beautiful to explore the island, visit other beaches, and swim with the rays. Thanks to our guide Martina, who was available and very kind in answering all our questions about the island.
My entire experience was A1. I booked it the night before and the team was super reactive! They propose different pickup locations (resorts and epicurians for those in airbnb) i happened to be near 1 so it was perf. I got there ahead of time & the driver was already there. The tour guide had amazing energy, we ended up being a group of 3: a couple and myself, we learned, we laughed but also had some very constructive & knowledgeable conversations. Andrew was able to be the glue allowing all that. I’d recommend this tour 100%! they even proposed to upgrade me free of charge with an extra location & lunch (perhaps since it was a few of us). I had a wonderful time & the teams at Stingray city were so cool!
Martina has been an amazing guide and also photographer! The stingray experience is amazing ! Everyone should try! Also long bay beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in antigua ! I advise steongly this trip and martina as a guide!
Not every guide doubles as a photographer, but it sounds like Martina made sure you went home with both great memories and plenty of photos to prove it! 📸😄 We're so glad you enjoyed the stingray encounter and your time at Long Bay Beach. Between meeting these incredible animals up close and relaxing on one of Antigua's most beautiful stretches of sand, it's easy to see why this tour becomes a favorite for so many visitors. Thank you for your recommendation. For travelers looking for a small-group experience that combines wildlife, stunning scenery, and personal attention, this tour is a fantastic way to discover the best of Antigua. 🐠🏝️✨
Androw is the best guide! The stingrays and devils arch made for a a good morning.
Some mornings are all about checking off sightseeing spots, while others leave you with memories you'll still be talking about long after the trip. It sounds like the stingrays and the dramatic scenery of Devil’s Bridge were a winning combination! Andrew will be delighted to hear your kind words. His goal is always to make the day enjoyable, relaxed, and full of interesting discoveries along the way. Thank you for sharing your experience. For travelers who want to see some of Antigua’s most iconic natural attractions in a small-group setting, this tour packs a lot into just a few hours. 🌊🐠🌋
Great day and fun tour! Greta was a wonderful guide. Swimming with the majestic stingrays was a vacation highlight for us all. Seeing Devil's Bridge and learning the history was awe inspiring. The beach stop was a lovely way to refresh at the end of the tour with some drinks , snacks and snorkeling before heading back. Perfect day. Highly recommend. Great personalized service and so nice to not be with 100 other people.
Swimming with stingrays, standing in front of the power of Devil's Bridge, and finishing the day with a relaxing beach stop—it's hard to ask for a better combination of adventure, nature, and local history. We're especially pleased that the smaller group size made such a difference to your experience. Being able to move at a relaxed pace, ask questions, and enjoy each stop without feeling rushed is something many of our guests appreciate. Greta will be delighted to hear that her guidance helped make the day even more enjoyable. And yes, enjoying Antigua without being surrounded by a crowd of 100 people has its advantages! 😄 Thank you for the recommendation and for sharing your perfect day with future travelers.
Stingray city was truly a unique experience and a must do when visiting Antigua. Also going to the devils bridge and Long Beach was a nice bonus. Our tour guide Marco was great ! Very knowledgeable and friendly! Overall a great excursion.
What makes this tour so special is the combination of experiences in a single outing—an unforgettable encounter with the stingrays, the dramatic beauty of Devil's Bridge, and the crystal-clear waters of Long Bay Beach 🌊🐠🌴. We're delighted that Marco helped bring the day to life with his knowledge and friendly approach. Antigua has so many incredible places to discover, and it's wonderful to hear that you enjoyed both the wildlife experience and some of the island's most beautiful natural landmarks. Thank you for recommending it as a must-do for visitors to Antigua! ✨😊
An experience simply unforgettable! We spent half a day in the company of the rays, with the extraordinary opportunity to feed them, hold them, and pet them — a unique contact with these wonderful animals that we will hardly forget. Subsequently, we headed to Devil’s Bridge, a truly breathtaking natural spectacle, and then concluded the day at the beautiful Long Bay Beach, a dream beach that perfectly crowned the adventure. What made everything even more enjoyable was the impeccable service: we were picked up directly from the resort and taken back at the end of the activity, without any logistical worries. An experience that we absolutely recommend to everyone — both young and old. Not to be missed! 🐟🌊
Lorenzo, leggere il tuo racconto ci fa rivivere questa splendida giornata tra mare, natura e paesaggi unici! 🐠🌊 L'incontro ravvicinato con le razze è senza dubbio uno dei momenti più emozionanti che Antigua possa offrire, mentre Devil’s Bridge e Long Bay Beach aggiungono scenari spettacolari che rendono l'esperienza ancora più completa. Siamo felici che il servizio di trasferimento da e per il resort ti abbia permesso di goderti ogni momento senza pensieri. Grazie per averci consigliato: avventure come questa sono perfette per chi desidera scoprire il lato più autentico e sorprendente dell'isola! ✨😊
