Itinerary
One of the most important natural attractions that has made Antigua famous in the world is by far the bath with the stingrays in their city in the middle of the sea: Stingray City. To reach the point where these extraordinary and friendly animals are located, you will have to take a fast boat for a duration of 8 minutes each way. Once we arrive we will be able to go down into the water where you touch it and the height will be 1.40 meters. Breeds are very sociable and not dangerous animals at all. They will be caressed and towards so that they can feed them. Recall that they are in their natural habitat, no cages or nets.
The Devil's Bridge is by far the most famous natural point in all of Antigua. Think that every year thousands and thousands of people are drawn to the charm of this natural rock bridge to admire the spectacle of the waves that break inside it. The guide will be able to explain to you the reasons why this bridge has this name. Remember to bring your camera to take the perfect photo of the wave as it breaks inside.
White talc-like sand and crystal clear waters, these are the features that make Long Bay one of the most popular beaches on the island. Famous for its seabed, convenient place to snorkel with the equipment offered by us. For those who like to relax, you can take advantage of this stop to take romantic walks or to rest in the shade of a tree.

Marco picked us up on time and made us feel comfortable form the start. His knowledge of the area of Antigua and detailed itinerary of the day was excellent and really exceeded our expectations. The Journey to Stingray City was pleasant and the experience of holding and swimming with the stingrays was incredible. We then headed to Devils Bridge for photos before heading to a local beach. All in all the trip was just over 5hours but the time flew. The crew at Stingray City were fab too and if you want to get up close then book this tour. Well worth the time and money!
What an amazing experience! From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable, making everyone feel completely at ease before we headed out to meet the stingrays. They explained everything clearly, including how to interact with the stingrays safely, and shared fascinating information about their behaviour, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. The stingrays were so gentle and clearly well accustomed to human interaction. Being able to feed, touch, and even hold them was an unforgettable experience. The water was crystal clear and shallow, making it easy and enjoyable for everyone to take part. This was without a doubt one of the highlights of my holiday and an excursion I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Antigua. A special thank you to Chris Stewart for organising everything. I really appreciate all the time and effort that went into making this such a memorable and enjoyable day. .
My wife said it was the best experience of her life, swimming and kissing the stingrays. Our guide Martina was amazing telling us about the island and its history, especially when talking pictures of us with my phone on land and in the ocean. Truly a wonderful day that we will never forget, looking forward to revisiting again soon.
Half-day tour organized excellently; the stingray swim was noteworthy, the visit to Devil's Bridge was exciting, and the stop for swimming and snorkeling at Long Bay was relaxing. A special thanks to Marco, our guide, who told us about Antigua and its culture, and prepared us on how to behave in the water with the stingrays. With his preparation, friendliness, and kindness, he made our day even more special.
We loved having Martina as our tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and passionate about sharing what the island of Antigua offers. She is very friendly and would recommend friends and family to book a tour.
The tour guide Martina is very knowledgeable and passionate about sharing with us about the Island of Antigua. I would recommend this tour.
Great experience, Martina was great and very knowledgeable.
This was an amazing experience for our family of 3. Flawless pickup and drop off from our resort, and a nice way to see some other parts of the island. The stingray experience was incredible and one we will not soon forget. Devils Bridge is beautiful and a must see. Longs Bay was very relaxing and the waters pristine. Zero complaints about this excursion. Martina was our guide and she was fabulous. She made us feel very welcome throughout the tour and was very accommodating. Exceptional service and you can tell she enjoys what she does. We would not hesitate to book with her and the company again!
We had another couple recommend this experience to us at our resort, we thought it looked fun. We did not think it would be one of the best experiences of our trip!!! Greta was an amazing guide and made sure we had THE BEST experience on the island. And she was very knowledgeable about anything that we asked. The stingrays were phenomenal it was a once in a lifetime experience swimming in the middle of the ocean with stingrays! Devils Bridge and Long Bay Beach were also top-notch, but the pivotal point of this excursion is the stingray!! 10/10 would recommend to anybody not knowing what to do.
Andrew was great as a guide and very informative. Love the stingray experience and the beach was beautiful!
