It was a great trip. The stingrays are quite heavy. The people working with them are brilliant. Our driver was Andrew and he could not do enough for us.
Amazing experience! Our tour guide Marco was incredibly knowledgeable on everything. Would highly recommend booking and asking for him.
Wonderful experience and guide was lovely however the mini van was not so good , seat belt did not work and van was quite messy and old ac just worked but not very power full , no bottled water supplied , as I say the guide was great she stayed with us throughout and the team taking us to the stingrays were great and supportive made you feel safe even when your in the middle of a ocean on a sand bank , well worth going even the photos taken by the team were a reasonable price ,
Had a great time !!!! My guide was amazing, friendly, knowledgeable of the area, and very helpful overall !!! Loved Martina!!!!
The experience was wonderful from start to finish. Our guide, Marco, was super knowledgeable and personable. He told us all about the stingrays before our arrival and displayed a true passion and affinity for them. Swimming with the stingrays was amazing. They are such beautiful and graceful animals. Highly recommend the experience and the guide! Thank you, Marco, for a great day!
Swimming with the stingrays was an awesome experience!! Martina was our guide and she was absolutely brilliant- - so helpful and knowledgeable. My eldest son was nervous about the stingrays but in the end, he was the one who loved holding and feeding the rays Highly recommend this trip
Marco was so good and really looked after us. The stingray experience itself was amazing and is a must-do!! Rum punch was a nice treat at the end as well :)
Marco our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable and made our drive over to stingray city very interesting, showing and telling us a variety of things about Antigua and the stingrays too
A great experience and highly recommended! We are a family of 4 and all had a great time. Our local guide, Marco is a marine biologist so we got a little extra knowledge, both about the stingrays and the island/water environment. All the guides were great and helpful. Definitely take the mask and snorkel when offered so you get great underwater views of the rays and can swim with them as well. Truly amazing time!
The experience was great, however the water was fairly deep up to shoulders and deeper in places it’s advertised as suitable for children and non swimmers, most definitely not for anyone nervous in the water
