Amazing to see stingrays acting like friendly cats and rubbing on you and wanting to be pet. The staff was friendly and fun. The fact that it in in open water makes it feel less touristy. Very cool experience but suggest you do it as a part of the Antigua adventures xtreme speedboat tour as the crowd is more manageable.
A party of 6 with 2 elderly parents and 2 teenagers this was fun for everyone. The on land training was enough but not too much to remember, the boat ride exciting and the rays delightful. oh and the rum punch at the end a welcome surprise.
OMG we had the most amazing time. The team look after you really well and tell you all about the stingrays, how to handle and feed them. The stingrays are not in a pen and so are able to swim freely in the sea which is good. They are sooooo big and gentle and very soft to touch, they swim between your legs and are not afraid at all. You are able to snorkel and see the fish and the reef. Even if you are not good in the sea and don't want to get in you can stay on the pontoon and they will bring the rays to you to touch and see close up which they did for one of our group. We had an amazing experience not to be missed, thank you to Dijon and his team for the most AMAZING TIME thank you, thank you, thank you,
If you are in Antigua, take advantage of this. It's worth the $50.00. You are taken out in a boat to a sand bar. The guides are friendly and knowledgeable. A few people were scared at first, but the guides take their time with you and get you comfortable with these amazing creatures. You can feed them as much as you want. The water comes up to above your waist. This is great for children of 10 years and up. Back on land, they have clean showers to rinse off the salt water. My husband and I had a great time. We hired a taxi with our friends for about 30 us dollars so you don't need to book a formal tour. We came from English Harbour.
Amazing to see stingrays up close. The staff are friendly. We did this as a part of the Antigua adventures xtreme speedboat tour.
We visited here for a day last week. It was me, my husband, and our 3 year-old daughter. We had an amazing time!!! We travel a ton, and it was my favorite experience of any trip - literally that cool. My daughter had a blast as well! The stingrays are so friendly, gentle, and soft, and the water and staff are amazing! I even saw one of the staff going above and beyond to make the experience awesome for an older traveler who was scared of going in the water. Top notch. If you do anything on your vacation - do this!
I have balance issues and use a walking aid so I booked this through P&O Ventura for Antigua which was one of our ports of call. I was advised I should be fine but I went with a bit of trepidation and I'm so pleased I did.The crew were AMAZING. One guy never left my side whilst in the water, making sure I wasn't knocked by the stingray but could feed them with squid and got very hands on, being able to stroke and feel the rays as they passed. There were group activities which I didn't include myself in (My Choice) as I enjoyed the time I had in the water. I'M STILL IN AWE THAT I WAS ABLE TO HAVE SUCH A GREAT EXPERIENCE ALL THANKS TO THE CREW. The cost was £44 which included rum punch on non-alcoholic drinks at the end and there were toilets & cubicles to change from wet to dry clothing.
I am absolutely in love with the place and people!! Great time with Stingrays!! Lots of pictures!! Its definitely worth to see it!
Loved swimming with the sting ray! And they are all free to swim in the sea as they pleased which made me feel good:)
OMG what an amazing place and what an experience. Our boat driver Dijon was the total bomb and really looked after us and we had some fun on the where there and back. When we got there the sight was out of this world. The team are really good and tell you everything the stingrays are sooooo friendly and are an amazing sight. Someone who is quiet nervous round sea animals I felt at ease after a few minuets. You get to hold them and feed then which is an experience in itself. They even brought one up to my friend who is not good with the sea and was sat on the floating platform so she was able to also experience it. You get to snorkel and there is a lovely reef to see also. Amazing time and once again a trip that we will never forget. Carly
