Description

Our Business is family-owned and operated. Our two stop tour Stingray Sandbar & Coral Gardens Snorkeling Tour kicks off from the Royal Watler Cruise Ship Terminal, and also includes FREE shuttle service from local resorts. We offer complimentary bottled water, juice, snorkeling gear, and squid to feed the stingrays. Enjoy the natural breeze as you take a boat ride to the first stop which is the Coral Gardens/Barrier Reef. There is a very high density of coral heads, which allows you to see lots of fish. Sometimes you can also see wild sea turtles and lobsters. After this you take a short boat ride less than 10 minutes to the World's famous Stingray City Sandbar where you will find southern stingrays in abundance. Swim alongside and experience these beautiful animals up close. You are not done yet, after this your next stop is the Starfish Beach. Our guides will teach you how to properly handle these remarkable creatures.

Amazing Experience!

Our bus driver Duncan was such a humble, amazing gentleman, the two boating tour guides were great and humorous and overall this was an awesome experience! I’ve done it twice and will do it again. Besides, it’s 7 years of good luck when you kiss a Stingray! 😉❤️

Great experience! Not a bad price for 3.5 hours. Held stingrays, saw so many starfish and snorkeled. Got picked up right at the hotel and dropped back off. The tour guides provided waters and sodas and were very kind.

Unforgettable experience with stingrays and starfish.

This is an unforgettable adventure. The bus was rustic, and lacked good AC, but the boat ride was very nice. The boat captain and his crew member were very nice. They had water and sodas which was so thoughtful. Once we got to the sandbar the stingrays were everywhere! They let us carry, touch and even kiss them for 7 years of good luck. I can’t believe they are so docile. Later, we went to starfish island and it was so cool seeing so many starfish everywhere. It was an unforgettable experience, I highly recommend.

Operator response

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear you had such an unforgettable adventure and enjoyed getting up close with the stingrays and visiting Starfish Point. We’re also glad you appreciated the water and sodas and that our crew made you feel welcome. And of course, we hope that stingray kiss brings you those 7 years of good luck! Thank you for the recommendation and for choosing us!
