Booked this as our only cruise excursion and cannot be happier with the experience. I booked the earliest time slot (highly suggest choosing a time as early as possible) for my party of 6. As it turns out it was just our group and a nice family of 4 from Tennessee booked for this time slot. Following a nice safety briefing on how to handle, feed, and walk around the stingrays we enjoyed a short scenic boat ride for our encounter. The experience was amazing. I had petted smaller stingrays before at aquariums but these were huge. For me the best part was feeding them...that was something I will never forget. If your cruise ship offers this excursion...don't think about it...do it.

We booked this excursion while on a Norwegian cruise in early January. This was an awesome experience. The Stingray City guides were very nice and gave great instruction in regards to moving about the rays and touching them. You have the choice of watching, feeding, and even holding the rays if you choose. If you travel to the Bahamas and get the chance, This is a must do!!

We loved this excursion! The group was small so we all had time to hold and feed the rays without being rushed. The guides took photos, both with their own cameras and with ours. Definitely bring or borrow a mask and look at them underwater; they are so graceful and you can see them so well in the clear water. The guides seemed to really care about the rays and knew them by name and personality. The ray enclosure is just a fenced off area in the ocean, so they have a very natural and clean environment. Beware of the tides; when they are too low, the boat can't get to the ray enclosure - in our case, only the earliest tour was able to go.

My husband, 17-yr-old daughter, and I chose this excursion while visiting Great Stirrup Cay on a NCL Bahamas cruise. We were offered 3 different time slots, and we chose the earliest one at 9am (I highly recommend you take the earliest one if possible, as the later ones become very crowded and your one-on-one time with the rays will be limited.) A short boat ride from the island brings you to the sting ray enclosure - which is quite large, about 3.5 - 4 feet deep, and filled with many rays. As you leave the boat dock and enter the water, the rays immediately come up to you, rubbing against you, hoping you might have some food for them. The people who worked with the rays were called wranglers, and they were fantastic! Full of knowledge and great personalities! They even handled my 17-year-old wonderfully (teenage girl, enough said!). We had the opportunity to feed the rays and hold them. There were also some starfish and sea cucumbers at the bottom of the ray enclosure that we were able to pick up and hold. The wranglers take photos of you, which are uploaded to a disk for you to purchase, if you desire. The photos were a bit on the high side - $15 for the first one and $10 for each thereafter - but they are a great memory of a very fun experience. Highly recommend!

My daughter and I took this excursion as part of a Royal Caribbean Cruise, I am assuming this is the same one that leaves Coco Cay and you take a 5 minute boat ride to the stingray enclosure. There were only 9 of us so we got some great education about the stingrays and their habitat. The stingray wranglers were so helpful and friendly that they made the experience even better. We found out that one of the rays was pregnant, due in 3-4 weeks and we could feel the babies moving! You could tell that the rays were very comfortable around people and well taken care of. They are fed by tourists and the wranglers but they know each and every one and have a system to make sure every one is fed the same amount. We also learned that the company has only been in business for about 1 month, but has been working with the rays for 3 months prior to that. Although they are currently in an enclosure, they plan to eventually open up the enclosure so that the rays can come and go as they please. The only negative in my opinion was having to purchase the photos afterwards. While I am aware it is standard practice, I think the cost was prohibitive to buying more. $15 for the first and $10 for each thereafter. I might have purchased more if there was a bundled price or I would have rather received a cd of ALL the photos, including those of the other guests for $20. Something to think about. With that said, I would do this again in a heartbeat!!!! But watch out for those stingray hickeys!

The staff was just awesome! We were the only people signed up for this excursion from our Royal Caribbean cruise and the staff at Stingray City was so kind and took us out anyway. We had a great time with the stingrays. It was very safe and very educational. I would not at all hesitate to take my three children next time. :)

This was wonderful. We not only got to hold and feed the stingrays, but we were educated about them as well. It is important to know about our world and how to take care of it. The rays were so soft as they swam by; it was amazing how they swam so close but still were able to avoid us (for the most part).

My hubby and I just went on this excursion just last week and it was the highlight of our 4 day cruise! The staff and wranglers were absolutely wonderful. You could tell they loved what they were doing and were full of knowledge about the rays. I held Casper several times and she was so sweet!!! Feeding and holding these beautiful creatures was awesome and I highly recommend it!!! We too were in the first group of the day and only about 12 of us so lots of time to interact with them. And we were done about 11 am just in time for lunch! I plan to take my girls at graduation and we will be sure to book this one again!

Stingray City was a great, but crowded experience. But the stingrays didn't seem to mind. Even after the food snacks were fed to them, they continued to "hang around", rubbing against our legs and allowing us to pet them. We don't go for animals being penned up and used by humans, so this was great. This was the stingrays' natural habitat and they were free to leave us at any time and go to a different part of the sea. But they seemed to enjoy our company and being petted. It was well worth the $49 boat ride to go our to the sand bar. Of course, that included snorkeling equipment, though we carry our own. Don't take fins. Bare feet are all that is allowed on the sand bars. Wouldn't want to hurt the stingrays, who feed in the sand. The only down side was the 100 or so people who are in the water at one time. But the groups were pretty spread out. But not much snorkeling can be done because of all the people.

We booked this excursion while cruising on the Norwegian Sky. We took a very short boat ride to the stingray enclosure. It was pretty nerve racking being in this area with sting rays swimming next to you and rubbing up against you. The wranglers were super patient with everyone. We got to hold the stingrays and feed them. Snorkel gear was provided, so we got some great pictures of the stingrays under water. This was an awesome experience and we highly recommend it.
