Stingray City Antigua: Private Shallow-Water Encounter

Wade into a warm, crystal-clear sandbar and hand-feed wild southern stingrays in their natural habitat — one of the Caribbean's most exhilarating wildlife encounters. The intimacy of a small private group makes this a genuine bucket-list moment.

What to expect

A sleek power boat whisks you 20 minutes offshore to a shallow, protected sandbar where resident southern stingrays glide to meet you. Expert marine naturalists explain the animals' behaviour, guide you on how to hold and feed them safely, and share fascinating facts about Antiguan marine ecosystems. Snorkelling over the surrounding reef rounds out the experience before a scenic return to port.

Good to know

Departures run morning and afternoon — the morning session offers calmer water and better light for photos. The sandbar is waist-deep, making this suitable for non-swimmers. Book directly on their website; private charters should be reserved at least one week ahead.
