vic_in_AZ Posted July 7, 2009 #1 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Is Stingray City a closed off area that you need to book a trip for? Why can't you just take a cab there and go in the water yourself? Going to GC in 10 days and wanted to know why everyone talks about booking trips. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capncarp Posted July 7, 2009 #2 Share Posted July 7, 2009 vic_in_AZ: "Stingray City" is actually a sandbar out in the Bay where excursion boats take people to get out onto the bar (water depth about 3-4 feet) to interact with the 'rays. Getting a cab to take you there would be a real adventure in itself!;) Check out some of the other threads about stingray tours--you'll pick up some really good advice, and a majority of the people who have been there are real enthusiasts about the experience.

vic_in_AZ Posted July 7, 2009 Author #3 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Thanks Makes sense. I didn't realize the sandbar was out so far from the land that you needed a boat to get out to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happybooker1 Posted July 8, 2009 #6 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Regardless of whom you book with. The 'rays are like puppy dogs, begging for food. Or pigeons in the park feeding off bread crumbs. Whatever. They have absolutely no fear of humans & you can stroke them all you want! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDFla Posted July 8, 2009 #7 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Book online, save almost half over booking with the cruise line. I went with Moby Dicks, great trip. There are several operators offering close to the same package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
