Your heart will pound as they approach, gliding through the water like silent prehistoric creatures. On the contrary, these gentle stingrays mean no harm as they curiously float around you. Snorkeling in the world famous Stingray City is the most popular activity for visitors to the Cayman Islands, and for good reason! It is a wildly fantastic adventure.

Stingray City is located in the shallow waters of the northwest corner of Grand Cayman’s North Sound. Often times, the name Stingray City is misinterpreted because there are no tall buildings. There are no restaurants. You will never see a car, bus, or train; however, there is a wealth of stingrays to be found and travelers take pleasure in mingling them. One can enjoy this unique experience of touching and feeding a stingray together with snorkeling among splendid coral reefs and vivid tropical fish.

Stingrays have grown accustomed to human contact and the graceful giants waste no time surrounding their guests, looking for their favorite delicacy: the tender morsels of squid that the dive or snorkel guide will bring along. This trip typically occurs in the heart of the sandbar where the water is shallow—only about 3 to 5 feet deep.

Known throughout the world, Stingray City has been featured on many prominent television documentaries. Additionally, this exotic snorkeling and scuba diving location has been used as underwater advertising backdrops for everything from cars to batteries. Diving and snorkeling here is one of the world’s most popular and unique tourist attractions and has been called “the best snorkeling experience in the world.” But for every diver or snorkeler who dares enter the water for their first time, with these primitive-looking creatures lurking just below their feet, the adrenaline still flows and the heart still pumps. It is still a world-class experience.
