Everybody Loves Rays & Sharks
Overview
This stingray encounter and snorkeling excursion allows you to meet, interact with,
feed and hold stingrays, which have been trained to meet and interact with humans.
These stingrays have had their barb clipped (it’s like a fingernail), so there is no
“sting” possible.
Your experienced guide will provide a brief introduction, 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 snorkel for 30 minutes with
stingrays, baby rays (in season), a few nurse sharks and many colorful fish in an area
4 to 18 feet deep featuring a new coral reef rescue installation: 10 artificial marine
habitats for corals.
After the activity, you welcome to stay at the beach club, enjoy a cool drink on the
Ray’s Sand Bar, (a snack bar), spot macaws, parrots, a green gecko, and iguanas
posing for pictures, hermit crab races, a massage tent, and a water trampoline,
photos and souvenirs available at the shop.
