## Overview

Our Business is family-owned and operated. Our two stop tour Stingray Sandbar & Coral Gardens Snorkeling Tour kicks off from the Royal Watler Cruise Ship Terminal, and also includes FREE shuttle service from local resorts. We offer complimentary bottled water, juice, snorkeling gear, and squid to feed the stingrays. Enjoy the natural breeze as you take a boat ride to the first stop which is the Coral Gardens/Barrier Reef. There is a very high density of coral heads, which allows you to see lots of fish. Sometimes you can also see wild sea turtles and lobsters. After this you take a short boat ride less than 10 minutes to the World's famous Stingray City Sandbar where you will find southern stingrays in abundance. Swim alongside and experience these beautiful animals up close. You are not done yet, after this your next stop is the Starfish Beach. Our guides will teach you how to properly handle these remarkable creatures.
