You can book a trip to Sting Ray City on your own before you get there. They will pick you up at the cruise ship terminal and take you the SRC dock. It is an adventure not to be missed. The rays that you handle are females and have become quite tame by years of handling. The water is knee to chest deep only and the guides and handlers are excellent. After touching, handling, feeding (think of a high-powered vacumn cleaner), and kissing the rays, a snorkel trip is done a ways off from SRC. I will never forget this experience with the sting rays.
