What travelers say
★ 4.9 · 1300 reviews"Absolute highlight of our cruise stop. The stingrays are massive and completely gentle. Our guide let my daughter hold one while they kissed her on the cheek. Starfish Point was a surprise bonus we didn't expect. We'll be back next year."

"Arrived nervous about being in open water with wild stingrays. Left wishing the whole thing lasted longer. The sandbar is waist-deep and perfectly calm. Even our non-swimmer in the group had the time of his life. Crew was brilliant."

"We've done Caribbean tours before and nothing comes close to this. Thirty-plus wild stingrays gliding around your legs in crystal-clear turquoise water. Our kids still talk about it three months later. Do not skip this one."
