Everybody Loves Rays & Sharks!

This Stingray Encounter and Snorkel excursion allows you to meet, interact with, feed, and hold stingrays, which have been trained to meet and interact with humans. These stingrays do not sting.

Before entering the one-acre enclosure, you will be given a safety briefing and issued the appropriate gear. First, you will meet the rays in waist-deep water for a 30-minute encounter where they will surround you and softly touch your legs, (much like a kitten) urging you to feed them. Allow the rays to eat out of your hand and pet their silky wings.

Then, move to the deeper part of the enclosure where, in full snorkel gear, you will be able to swim and dive for 30 minutes with stingrays, baby rays (in season), a few Nurse Sharks and many colorful fish in area 4 to 18 feet deep featuring a new coral reef installation: 10 Artificial Marine Habitats with more than 800 coral.

A brief presentation in a shaded auditorium on gear safety and how to feed & touch the rays will put you at ease around them. The tour is designed to offer the highest level of fun, convenience, and safety; unforgettable experience with rays (whose barbs have been trimmed) and low guest per guide ratio.

After a total of 1 hr in the water with the rays, you may relax on the beach and use the facilities to shower and change clothes.
