What to expect
You'll board an air-conditioned boat at your hotel and cruise to the sandbar, where stingrays gather in the shallows. Once in the water (typically knee to waist depth), the crew guides you through feeding and petting the rays—they're docile and accustomed to human contact. The interaction portion runs about 45 minutes; the remainder is transit and boat time. Expect a wet, casual vibe with minimal instruction needed. Photography happens on-site, though professional photos incur a separate fee. Bring a swimsuit and towel; a rash guard helps with sun protection.
Good to know
Infants must sit on an adult's lap during the boat ride; strollers are allowed onboard. Those with serious heart conditions should skip this. Gratuities aren't included in the price. Professional photos start at $50. Pack sunscreen and consider a light cover-up for the boat ride.
