Tour Overview
Did you know that a stingray's mouth, nostrils, and gills are on its underbelly? Or that it has cartilage instead of bones? Or that it can live as long as 25 years and weigh up to 790 pounds? Learn these fascinating facts and more as you swim with these fascinating sea creatures. All snorkel equipment and safety vest are included, but don't forget to bring biodegradable sunscreen, sandals and a camera to capture every memorable moment. (However, for the stingray's safety, photo & video recording is not allowed during the encounter portion of the tour.)
Great for kids of all ages, this adventure begins as you climb into your air-conditioned taxi and travel the short distance to Stingray Beach, the only stingray encounter attraction in Cozumel. Upon arrival, you'll be greeted by expert guides who will lead you to a shaded auditorium where they will teach you how to safely use the snorkeling gear and everything you need to know about how to feed, pet and interact with the stingrays. During the 30-minute stingray Encounter portion of the tour, you'll stand in a one- to four-foot deep area where you'll meet, handle and, if you like, feed, lots of friendly rays. Don't worry, even though dentists in ancient Greece used the venom from the stingray's spine as an anesthetic, these barbs have been removed. So feel free to get up close and personal. Stingrays are generally docile and spend the majority of their time partially buried in sand. After your encounter, you're invited into the nine- to 18-foot deep area of the one acre protective enclosure to go snorkeling with even more rays and all their fishy friends. For 30 minutes, not only can you snorkel with the stingrays but also use your cameras for photos & videos. Then you can head over to the beach club and relax under an umbrella, use the facilities to take a shower and change clothes or watch a number of curious green iguanas pose for pictures or cheer on your favorite in a hermit crab race.
At the end of your excursion you can return to your ship or go downtown and visit Cozumel's wide array of shops, restaurants and entertainment centers.
