Fun in the sun!
Rachel_R, October 2026
This is a fantastic excursion! We highly recommend it! We did a snorkle stop first and saw lots of fish, coral, and even a couple rays. Our second stop was Sting Ray City which was filled with stingrays swimming all around us. The guides were awesome and experienced in helping us hold them, take pictures, and feed them. Our last stop was Starfish Point with tons of starfish all around to hold but keep under water. The guides even found more for us to see. All around a wonderful day on the ocean and definitely recommend it!!

Kiara_D, October 2026
This was an excellent experience. We went during a high tide and the stingray visit was high but it was fun to swim with the Stingrays. Feed them and stop to see the starfish and snorkel. Would recommend this to everyone.

Super awesome experience. 5 out of 5. Could not ask for more. It was high tide so we were scared they were comforting and very helpful. Very memorable and joyous experience. Thank you and we recommend them highly.
