    Stingray City

    The 1st stop is the most infamous Stingray City, which is a must for anyone visiting Grand Cayman and it is the ideal interaction for all ages. Stingray City is a wide sandbar surrounded by barrier reefs that's home to a variety of fish and, most notably, stingrays. The fact that the southern stingrays that inhabit the area are exceedingly friendly makes Stingray City the most popular activity on the island. These massive sea creatures, an iconic symbol of the Cayman Islands culture are so accustomed to human interaction that they allow people to feed, play with, pet, and photograph them. Whilst at Stingray City, I, will take my time to explain more about the stingrays and why they are there. As legends goes, 'kissing a stingray" will give you the customer, seven years of good luck. It's a Caribbean adventure unlike any other! The Sandbar is about 3 feet deep during low tide and about 4.5 feet deep during high tide. This segment is about 1 to 1.5 - 2 hours
