Stingray City

Grand Cayman is the only place you can get up close and personal with stingrays. So if I say so myself, it is a must see in Grand Cayman! This is a busy tourist attraction, but keep reading and you will understand why.. 

Watch this video on Stingrays!! 

It may have all started when stingrays began gathering in the sandbar area awhile ago when fisherman returned from an excursion and cleaned their fish in the water of the sandbar. The remains of the leftover fish were thrown overboard and the stingrays eventually getting smarter and realized they can get leftover food here! Eventually, the stingrays associated the sound of the boats with food. As divers realized this, they noticed they can feed these stingrays by hand. Now today, the boats full of tourists always bring pails of food for the stingrays, feeding them by hand, attracting more and more stingrays to come visit. 

Stingray City is in the Grand Cayman's North Sound in the sandbar area. You need to take a short boat ride to the sandbar area no matter what. There are several different options for that. This attraction is for ALL ages. You can stand in 3 feet of water and you will be surrounded by about two dozen stingrays all by natural habitat. You touch and feed a stingray, along with snorkeling by coral reefs and seeing tropical fish. Talk on the island, if you kiss a stingray... you will have 7 years good luck! :) Book your trip to Stingray City HERE! It is a must see!
