What to expect
You'll board a private charter boat and cruise toward Stingray City, where you'll wade into shallow, calm waters to encounter stingrays gliding past your legs—a surreal sensation that most travelers find thrilling rather than frightening. The crew demonstrates proper technique and stays close. Next, you'll snorkel at Coral Gardens, drifting above hard and soft corals while fish school around you. The final stop, Starfish Point, offers a shallower experience where you can walk the seabed and spot starfish in their natural habitat. Throughout, your captain weaves in local history and geography.
