Stingray Experience

Stingray Experience

Encountering stingrays can be a daunting challenge for many visitors unaccustomed to meeting wildlife up close and personal. Fear of the unknown is evident on the minds and faces of those who are contemplating whether or not to take the challenge and meet our rays – one on one. An experienced guide will brief visitors about the foraging habits and individual personalities of the rays. Of course, there are rules to follow before one is allowed to engage in personal contact with these misunderstood animals. Everyone’s comfort and safety are foremost on the tour.

Our signature “Stingray Experience Tour” held on a deserted cay off the West End is one of the most popular educational ecology tours on Grand Bahama Island. Visitors are immersed in an environment to feed and swim with wild stingrays. For maximum interaction with the rays, guests are limited to 6 persons. Exceptions for additional guests or groups are determined on a case-by-case basis. An important aspect of the company is to maintain the natural behavior of stingrays. The animals are not abused or exploited. Human interaction is limited and supervised with the utmost care. The stingrays roam a wide area of the sea for sustenance and return to the cay as the tide cycle is rising to continue their search for food.
