The Times UK wrote: "The waters around Antigua teem with marine life, and none is more impressive than the southern stingray."
At Stingray City, interact with friendly southern stingrays in their natural habitat. No swimming skills are required, and the water is approximately 4.75 ft deep.
Continue to Devil's Bridge and Long Bay Beach, where you can relax, swim or snorkel. Enjoy an authentic local lunch before visiting Betty's Hope, Antigua's historic sugar plantation and open-air museum.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will I get seasick on Antigua Island Tour & Stingray Encounter – Small Group Experience?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023

Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
