If you’re looking for a unique and unforgettable experience while visiting the beautiful island of Antigua, then Stingray City is the perfect destination. Stingray City is an incredible shallow water habitat located in the North Sound, just off the northeast coast of Antigua. It’s home to hundreds of friendly stingrays, with which visitors can interact in an intimate setting.

As soon as you arrive at Stingray City, you will be awe-struck by the beauty of the area. With the sun shining and the sky a brilliant blue, the crystal-clear waters range from beautiful aqua to deep blue.

After checking in and a short safety briefing, the experience begins with a 10-minute boat ride out to the pontoon in the shallow waters inside the reef. As soon as you arrive you can spot the stingrays swimming around almost waiting for the visitors to arrive. You can then hop into the waist-deep water and get up close and personal with these majestic creatures. Once you get in the water, you are immediately surrounded by the friendly stingrays. The first thing you’ll notice is that the stingrays are incredibly gentle and curious. They will often swim right up to you and even bump into you and allow you to touch them. You can even get a chance to hold them and feed them. The guides provide squid for the stingrays, and you can watch as they eagerly swim up to grab it from your hand, mind you keep your thumb well tucked in as you feed them !! The stingrays don’t bite but they can suck very hard. Swimming with the stingrays can also be a great opportunity to learn about these fascinating creatures. The guides provide you with a wealth of information about the stingrays and their habitats.

Remember to take your waterproof cameras and have your picture taken with them as it is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that you will never forget. Once back at base, you can choose to continue the adventure at Laviscount Island where you can interact with Giant Land Tortoises and the colourful macaws.
