About this experience

This tour takes you to the famous Stingray City sandbar, where the wild stingrays swim around you in shallow water. The crew will show you how to safely feed these stingrays if you like, and the on-board photographer will take memorable photos of you and your family and friends, available for purchase. The snorkeling stop will either be at the Barrier Reef or the Coral Gardens. Because of differences in ship time zones, some of these tours may not be available during daylight saving time in the United States.
